A lovely one to be sure. Congrats! Is that the smallest one they made?

Plyerman,  It is pretty much the smallest ALL METAL one they made.  The so called "baby Coes" had a wood handle and was 4 5/8 in. long.  These all metal ones were produced after the babies.  There is also a scarce all metal variant that had a round handle with knurling on the bottom end.  It was the very first of the all metal small Coes wrenches.  I have never seen one of them, but they do exist.
