Title: McKinnon 12" Adjustable "S" Wrench
Post by: HeelSpur on March 29, 2014, 04:40:23 PM

I went back to the antique store that I visited awhile back and picked this up. It was driving me bonkers not knowing what brand it was.

McKinnon started 1878 making carriage parts. They were interrupted a bit by the war, then started  making radiators for those new fangled things called automobiles.
In 1925 they aquired the Canadian division of J.H.Williams..
