There are a couple of U.S. wrench patents by Emile Lacheze (Dijon, France ) (841,986 granted Jan 22, 1907 & 888,306 granted May 19, 1908).
Other examples of this "Clyburn spanner" style wrench with LACHEZE and a large cat face (is it a lion or a tiger?) have turned up so either they were imported at some point, or people were bringing them to the U.S. as souvenirs. My search for more information is severely hampered by not knowing French.
