I like their solution for the grip.  The bar in the middle prevents misshapen or crushed grips.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Hello, Check out Patent Number 48027. Tower & Lyon Boardman's Patent Combination Tool. They made a few wrenches, but I couldn't dig up anything on the one you posted, Lou

Probably a prototype or cutaway drawing. If you really want to be confused, try to figure out the wording used by Patent Lawyers!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find the old thread that Stan listed the different makers so I guess we can start another list.

Barcalo Buffalo
Bemis & Call
Billings & Spencer
Bonney
Ellis
Fordson
Robinson
Tower & Lyon
United Shoe Machinery
Westcott Keystone

These are the one I can think of so far.
