A Neat Little Find
« on: June 23, 2015, 11:54:55 PM »
I just acquired this neat Wakefield No. 17 Indian Motorcycle wrench. I don't pick up as many wrenches as a lot of folks on this forum do, but I just couldn't resist.

There are two styles of  7 inch Wakefield / INDIAN MOTOCYCLES -- this is the "more recent" of the two -- very nice.  The other is the "nut guard" style based on patent no. 1,435,548 ( http://www.datamp.org/patents/advance.php?pn=1435548&id=34124&set=6 )
