Title: Palmeter Quick Adjust
Post by: Lewill2 on November 01, 2015, 11:18:45 AM

Palmeter Tool Jamestown NY manufactured the Palmeter quick adjust wrench in 6, 8 and 10 inch sizes. Has anybody seen or does anybody have one? I have a advertisement piece for the wrenches and recently picked up a 8 inch version. I'd am still looking for the 6 and 10 inch sizes. Patented October 23, 1923 Patent 1,471,413.

Scarcity in part due to short company life -- PALMETER TOOL  was advertising the wrench in 1924 & declared bankrupt in 1925. -- google books only allows snippet views.  The ads ran in AMERICAN EXPORTER in 1924; the bankruptcy notice in IRON AGE in 1925.
