There is another version with a hammer face on the opposite side of the pipe wrench.

I have never seen one with the hammer head. Got a photo?

Bob (Plyerman) sent me a link once with a photo.  I'll see if I can locate it.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Never stall with hammer head.  Check out #353 in the photo below.

I sold those wrenches on the Fall 2010 Wrenching News Auction in Davenport, Iowa. They were from the King Herrington Collection.

I guess I didn't realize that the variant without the automotive type adjustable wrench came with and without a small hammer poll. I just checked mine and as luck would have it that's one I needed because mine doesn't a hammer head. Price realized in 2010 was $55.00.

Do you recall what the #360 went for?

I've been watching for a hammer-pol version for a couple of years now, with no luck.  :rolleyes:


Also, I'd like to find one with the PATENT PENDING and TRADE/ THE NEVER-STALL /MARK markings, like the one pictured below. (photo pirated from an old ebay auction)
