Casaday and Bradley Wonder and other wrenchs
« on: March 23, 2015, 10:52:07 PM »
Just found your forum. I am putting together a auction of my fathers farm collectibles. Part of the auction includes more than 800 wrenches he has collected over the last 40 years. Has many high end collector wrenches such as a Casaday and a Bradley Wonder. Many others cut outs I see listed often. Many tractor related wrenches such as Rumely and Deere. Can anybody tell me about a St. Charles Car Co. Wrench. (Railroad car maker) or a Gale cutout. Not seen much on either. Thanks for any info

I've seen the early listing for the auction. Impressive collection! The Gale cutout is a farm implement wrench made for the Gale Mfg Co in Michigan. The St. Charles is new to me, but Bus may have seen it before.
I've already put plans in the works to go, but internet bidding would be a much better option.

I'm guessing it must be this one?

it's gotta be, as it states to contact Dale Wescott.

the site also states that you can leave an absentee bid.

read the proxy bid page at Nixon's

I did, and it also states that there are currently no proxibid current events for this seller. But you only see that if you actually click on the proxibid box.

The Nixon website  listed is the auction. The auction includes his tool, gas engine, mowers, garden tractors, cast iron seats, advertising signs, petroliana collections and so much more. He liked cast iron. Many hay trollies and drill presses. I will be posting many more pictures on the Nixon website after this weekend. I will post a picture of the Gale cut out an the other 20 or so cut outs he has. My father just mentioned that he had never seen another St. Charles car wrench or the Gale before in his collector books. As he said that does not mean much there may be many of them out there. Was just wondering. The St. Charles wrench must be from before 1890 or so because they were bought out. Thanks for any info. I will try to post more precise pictures of the tools. Most of the ones on website are of the walls of wrenches. If you have something in particular you want more pictures of let me know and I will get them posted. Thanks again, Dale
