Title: Couple of small old adjustables
Post by: leg17 on April 06, 2019, 08:15:57 PM

Have a couple of little cuties that I am unfamiliar with.
Anyone have any info?

First is little bicycle looking wrench.  Machine Screw Co. Buffalo   W. Dicks Pat Nov 21, 1893.

Second is, well, I don't know.  Doesn't seem to be cast.

I have one of the Spaulding wrenches but it has no marks of any kind. The second one looks like it might be of European origin.

The second one looks like a small version of a Bemis and Call wrench I have.

Neat old Buffalo wrench. Datamp says mfd. by Spaulding Machine Screw Co, who appears to have made a variety of bicycle parts.
