Title: Wrench and some brass pipes
Post by: garwein on May 23, 2016, 08:35:07 PM

I picked up this wrench and several pieces of what I think is old brass pipes.

The wrench is stamped Nash Engine Co No 3  0398-2-RM

The pipes were hanging on a tree branch as a sort of makeshift wind chime.

They are very heavy, probably 20+ pounds a piece. The wall of the piping is 1/8 inch thick and the tallest is around 6 feet. There's a kind of plug on the end of each of them with a stamp that says M7.

I know the pipes don't exactly fit the forum guidelines of a tool, but I'm curious if anyone know what they may have come from, and possibly and age placed on them.

I liked the blue patina on them, and I was thinking about making another wind chime out of them or 2 by cutting them in half. Not sure yet.

Thanks

The wrench is from Nash Engineering Company which manufactures vacuum pumps. They are still in business and have a web site.
