When you get it sorted out, let us know, (with pictures), exactly what style you are looking for.

i have the ad 4 ur board, pm was sent.

just opened the box,i have to destroy the packing slip so my wife doesnt see it :kiss:,,,shipped it was 121.00,,,,this board has metal tags w/the numbers,,, THE 75A,83B, AND 79C ON the bottom row.,,,i would guess that all wrenches should have the same logo???,,,,an ad/picture would be nice ,could send cash or pp...thanks again

Williams logo changed a few times over the early years.
What era are you looking for?
AA has some info regarding the various logos.

this board has metal tags w/the numbers,,, THE 75A,83B, AND 79C ON the bottom row.

you got your work cut out,,,.,might drive ya to drink...lol
-
need 7 more,got the 34 coming,i polished the ends and painted...if anyone has any,would be glad to purchase...TIA
-
I'd like to help but I'm unclear as to what exactly we are seeking here.
21 23 25 are standard industry sizes so I need to know which logo style
75A and 79C I have no idea.. curved wrenches maybe?
83B is curved 7/8 x 1, correct?
these need to be in original paint and not worn?
I'm not being a hard head here, just want to search for the right things

75a-3/8x1/2
79c-5/8x3/4
83b-7/8/x 1"and i believe all three are called light service "S" shape,22-1/2 degree angle?
everything with the scroll underline
i haven't seen the A,B OR C anywhere?..maybe on AA cant remember?.....thanks again

That was fun, I found a bunch o stuff I had forgotten about.
All I could find for you were a pair of 25's
not exactly the same but both should be Ok for your board

Doesn't look like Williams.
Williams part numbers were adopted by many other wrench makers on up to recent times.

I agree with leg now after someone else confirmed what i thought. 4 me theres no great rush buying when personal deals come from guys here and G-J. I'm buying some off ebay because real cheap with free shipping. I won't take advantange of the guys we know to take a loss. I want them 2be part of the project. I won't buy any without stamped logo because theres prolly millions logo 1's out there. good luck with ur project.

I would try to find the correct wrenches for this,rather than compromise with 'sorta the right ones' even if it takes a while.
you may end up with multiples of some before you complete it.
But I think you can find all the correct wrenches before you run out of patience, and it will be well worth your time, it's a great display

i read on GJ,that either logo would be ok,sense as the tools were sold off they could have been replaced with different ones.for me i like the scroll............the hunt goes on......thanks!!!...........got the 34 today,its the largest with the big pegs.,,.its almost 11" long,but on one of the ads it showed it being 9.75" long....confused.........the 11 is a perfect fit

old timey typo. Check other ads describing that wrench.

polish and paint,using an old can of rustoleum :cheesy:
