Gellman adj wrenchJu
« on: November 14, 2014, 12:28:11 PM »
I just found another of my treasures.  A Gellman 6" thumb adj wrench marked  Gellman Wrench Corporation, Rock Islandd Ill. USA.  It has a script Polly forge mark also  It is Patent # 1,451,906.   Is it rare?  I guess I have had it for a long time.

There are a several style & marking variations -- they were advertising like crazy in the mid 1920s.  Someone had a set of three sizes in original canvas holder at a MVWC fall meet in Baraboo a few years back.
( http://www.datamp.org/patents/advance.php?pn=1451906&id=31528&set=2 ) is the patent & that DATAMP entry has photos of some variations.
