Title: Little Western Giant Combo
Post by: J.A.F.E. on July 31, 2011, 09:46:58 PM

I've had this sitting around for a while and decided to it's time to get more info on it. This is a 7/16 and it actually seems like a nice wrench. Has a nice feel, good heft for a piece this size and a decent ring when struck. Anyone venture any info on when it was made and who the maker was?

Only marking on front side plus the size mark on the open end

Reverse side markings

Someone was in a hurry when they used this one.

I found several links to the "Schnell Tool and Die Company", out of Ohio, in the early 1960's. They were very popular getting sued, as that is what pops up several times when I google them! Lol. This may be the maker? I could not find how the "Western Giant" name played into the scheme of things tho.
