I have two of these now. These manufactured wrenches are evidence of Britain's head start in the Industrial Revolution. The small one is 7.5" inches in length, the large one is 10" in length.

I really enjoy seeing your old wrenches!

The 1845? Timmins Pattern book has 10 different styles of coach wrenches illistrated and a interesting (enclosed screw) wrench on pge 157 is labeled 'Monkey Wrench'. Both the R Timmins and 1820 W C Wynn pattern books are a fasinating insite into early English technology.

Very cool wrenches! Certainly remove any doubt that they were to be used to hammer. Also interesting to know that the 1845 pattern book labels them as monkey wrenches. Dates are nifty.
The resourcefulness and imagination of the old workers is amazing, and too often unrecognized.
