The second wrench up from the bottom, has a small circle mark next to the hang hole,
 what letter is in it?
 And is there any other makers marks on the wrench? (under the jaw perhaps?)

I think that is the pipe wrench I passed on at the last flea that I wanted to ID one of the craftsman tool codes...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

It's the letter "Y" in the circle,  didn't see anything else

I like the Oswego pipe wrench.  Is there an Oswego logo ( T inside an O) on this tool?

I have an Oswego 6 '' that doesn't have the logo.

All my Oswego wrenches were found within 175 miles of Oswego, NY and are marked with the Company's logo.

Might be a factor of distance from Upstate New York.    Whaddya think?
