Title: Value of Wrenches - pictures
Post by: gina on December 05, 2014, 09:53:25 AM

I was interested in knowing the value of these wrenches, but you all pointed out the need for pictures.  I finally figured out how to resize my jpegs, so am now able to include.  I would appreciate any information on their value.  Thanks.

P.S.  My earlier post includes the dimensions.

Certainly the second one is worthless. Very common and it's not even much good as a tool with a bent hook jaw.

I can't tell what the first one is...

First wrench looks like a Bemis & Call, but the detail on the jaw's lettering, were it sharper, would confirm this SWAG. As to its worth, apply the willing buyer: willing seller rule.

The only way to have a high value on those two would be if they were from a relative's tool kit and you had some provenance and history of them, and then the value would be only to you as keepsakes to be displayed in your shop or home.

 Agree the top one is Bemis and Call. Can't quite make out the logo on the other one. Closeup of logo would eliminate guess work as it seems to be clearly marked.
