I have seen that wrench listed somewhere. I'll see if I can find it again. I like it and would really like to find one myself someday.

It's a Whitman & Barnes wrench. I think it was shown in a W & B catalog reprinted in one of the past Missouri Valley Wrench Club Newsletters. Maybe Stan will know which one and post a scan.

It's also pictured on Rathbone's Oddball page in Volume one.

Sept. 1984 MVWC Newsletter, pg. 7.  Dad had borrowed an 1894 W&B catalog & copied all the wrench information from it.
The wrench is listed as W&B Malleable "S" wrench which fit 9 sizes 1/2" through 1 1/2".
