Theres so many types it could be.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Sounds like the typical auto kit style wrenches from the late 20's era.

How big is it? 19/32x 11/16 inch?

That's the industry opening size for a no. 27 wrench.
