      Looked at the site but couldn't find this wrench.

      Its method of adjustment is certainly unique?! :-)
    4. dav2no1 dav2no1, 3 years ago
      I was thinking that the handle was threaded and locked the adjustment...like a jam nut?
    5. Irishcollector. Irishcollector., 3 years ago
      I see your point dav2no1, and you could be right. That would mean the handle had to be loosened before every adjustment and tightened again after moving the round nut.

      Looking at the threads in the third picture, it seems to me that there is a groove on the under side. Is there a groove there and is it deep enough to hold a broken piece of a handle? It seems that jaws portion is larger than the thread portion , feels like part is missing.
    7. dav2no1 dav2no1, 3 years ago
      That groove appears to be a guide for the lower jaw...if we're talking about the same thing? Irish..can you get us a picture looking straint at the front?
    8. Irishcollector. Irishcollector., 3 years ago
      Picture added. The groove is a guide for the lower jaw. The "arm" under this jaw has a small projection which runs in the groove.

      I do not have your answer either, but when i need to find an Old Unmarked "Orphan Wrench Maker", by "Visual Match Only", i go to "The Wrenching News", along with Similar Sites..... Link Below.......

      Good Luck!,

      Thanks for the advice Wayne. I've looked through a few past auction catalogues without any luck but there's a lot more to go on that site.

      the wrenchingnew site can be a bit difficult to search but try using the google site search by image. another site to consider: Directory of American Tool and Machinery Patents
