Lewill2:
I think he will have 6 or 7 Hilary Klein wrenches in this auction. I have started a list and I have 70 so far on the list. 64 are listed in the December 2005 XTRA that was included in the MVWC News Letter. The balance have been listed in auctions that I could research or I have examples in my collection. I have upped my collection to 21. If anyone is interested I can post my list here. Hilary didn't make any this past winter. It is the first year in a long time that he didn't produce a miniature wrench.

kxxr:
That is a beautiful piece of work. Your list and maybe some pictures would be great.

This is the post where I posted a picture a month or two ago.
