Bemis & Call- "Fig. 25 shows a B&C 10 inch monkey wrench with wooden handle inserts, stamped with the B&C trademark logo on the upper (fixed) jaw, with "Bemis & Call Co." and "Springfield, Mass. Made in U.S.A." on the reverse. The wrench is also stamped with "Fulton" and "AD" on the lower jaw, indicating that it was made as contract production for Sears Roebuck.

The overall length is 10.3 inches, and the maximum opening approximately 2 inches. The finish is plain steel."   http://alloy-artifacts.org/other-makers.html#bc

An early Craftsman sub brand- "Fulton was a familiar brand of tools in the early 20th century by virtue of numerous listings for Fulton tools in the Sears Roebuck catalogs. In the pre-Craftsman days, Fulton appeared to be the most popular brand offered by the Sears for tools such as saws, axes, planes, chisels, hammers, pliers, and many other items. References to Fulton tools appear in Sears catalogs at least as early as 1908, with illustrations showing either "Fulton" or "Fulton Tool Co." on the tools."  http://alloy-artifacts.org/craftsman-early-tools.html#fulton

I've seen enough with the jaws splayed in the other direction...this one's never been abused!
