A real machinist would use a drill press and a boring bar...(Ducking)

It would be an interesting thing to make, I can't for the life of me imagine why they made something so simple into such a complicated part, a bolt would have been a lot cheaper to make...
Craftsmanship? Form over function? Bitchin' design? Coolness? Was a time when you could have all those things and still make a buck.

The Husky looks like an old valve stem wrench, or possibly an early refer. wrench. What are the numbers on it?

The Husky has Ratchet NO.1 on it.

The single unknown might be IHC. If so it should have # 260 on it.

I looked at it again today and it does not have any markings on it that I can see.

I think the Monkey with the looped handle is a VandeGrifts patent.  Patent #589765.

I cleaned it up and took a closer look and it looks like it has Deer on the upper jaw, 10 on the lower jaw and on the handle it has PAT SEP787.
