What is it
« on: August 24, 2011, 02:28:56 PM »
THe handle is approx. 4 3/4" with what seems to be a hammer head at one end. The stem is approx. 4 1/2" with a 1/4" square hole.
It is marked A.F. Co

Possibly a piano tuners key/wrench.

Knowing the first part makes the second part easier...

A.F Co is likely American Felt Co, makers of felt for piano hammers....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

If that wrench is for sale let me know.
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.
