Was the Bemis & Call with the open handle the first wrench of this type?

Nice. Those old curved wrenches were so much sexier than the ones they make nowadays.

I don't know who was first with the open handle.

Bemis &Call introduced theirs in 1894 - then an improved version with pipe jaws in 1898, and a double ended version in 1909 , later a crescent type in 1912, Bonney started making spanners somewhere between 1890 and 1898 - but i have no info when they intro'd their "S" handles,
