This wrench has the diamond W logo so I assume that it is Williams. But I have not been able to find one like it. There is another logo on it but I cannot read it. On back of the 3/16 end, there is #724 and below the 3/8 on the other end is a number that starts with a 2 but I cannot read the 2nd number. I have not been able to find a Williams wrench that is 3/8 and 3/16. I am hoping that one of you might have one like this and can fill in the blanks for me. I am trying to determine the age of the tool.
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Barb

Yes, Williams; the second logo says J.H.W. & Co. on top and U.S.A. below inside the oval.
The "3/16" end is actually "9/16"; the 724 is the old Standard Number for 3/8 - 9/16 wrenches.
It's old. AA says 1914-24...

A steel wrench, with jaws that thick definitely goes back to pre-1930, and AA confirms that. Have a half dozen like it. Williams was a very good quality wrench.

Duh! Isn't it just like a woman to not snap to there being no such thing as a 3/16 on a wrench!!
Well, that's what we need you men for!!

Here is a 13/64 wrench (that's 1/64 larger than a 3/16) - that was what I had handy at my desk....don't make me go to the garage.
