bootjack
« on: March 29, 2019, 10:58:50 AM »
 Is this a bootjack wrench or a wrench bootjack ? In case of confusion (BootJack) is cast in raised letters on the boot jack end. Googled it and found one that supposedly sold for $225. Think they got the decimal in the wrong place. I smell Mexican foundry but I could be wrong. I was wrong once but it was 30 or 40 years ago.

Mine isn't marked, but I have seen them (unmarked) go for $200-$400. The one I have and others I have seen have a lot smoother finish.

Blacksmith made slingshot from a old wrench.

The square wrench openings are to loosen the boot lug nuts before you slide the boot off.   :grin:

Mine says PITTSBURGH NOVELTY WORKS on one end. It's mostly bare metal, but there are traces of the old black japanned finish in some places.

Never seen one, but I love it. The wrenches would be for repairing your spurs. ;-)

Date night tool:  Use the wrenches to tighten up all the loose nuts on your buggy, & the boot jack to pull off your barnyard besmirched boots before dancing with your darling!
