Today's finds
« on: August 21, 2011, 05:00:29 PM »
We took a day off from church today. Found, were 3 wrenches as shown below:
  • a 19 1/2" Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad doe wrench stamped C & O with 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" openings,
  • a late-model Boyertown Casket Co. stainless steel-handled wrench with a 5/16" allen screwdriver end used to screw lids shut; and
  • a "B" embossed s-wrench with doe hex open ends
Yes, you guys have seen the A - E s-wrench series before, but these wrenches are uncommon, e.g. you can't have enough of them.  And Boyertown Casket Company has gone out of business; the building is now a nursing home!

I have something like that Boyertown, but unmarked. It came in a box of tools, and I thought it was a window crank! I'll did it up and give it another look.

Not to put too fine a point on it, Papaw has made a grave error.

I guess we've concluded the funny bits. As a judge of humor, I would call it a dead heat.

Also commonly referred to as a "coffin lock key."   As for the funny bits, in the immortal words of Monty Python, "It's not dead; it's only sleeping."
