Probably not hardened yet, either.   Looks very clean. Probably irritated the jobber, though.

That is one way to get your piece work count up a little faster.

I'll probably be putting this wrench in the for sale section unless it sells at Canandaigua in a couple weeks.

I've got two of these, one marked up with a "Baby Vixen" boss, one with just the Bonney shield.  But I still haven't run across "Avoca" outside of it being Martin Donelley's base. Is that the refernce?
