Nice wrenchs;the P& O is in better shape than most which should put it in the high end of price range. The wood is also very nice. The 113 is an orphan;only one i found sold as an orphan at v. Saak sale.

Hey Jimwrench(Dad), post a pic of you Pitts cutout. It looks like the same wrench, just a different name. Did Wood and Pitts (I believe it is Buffalo Pitts) have any connection???

Only very vague connections.....

There is an interesting, and fairly detailed history of Wood bros here: http://wellssouth.com/blog/?p=233

The Woods and Buffalo Pitts look the same to me minus the cutout letters and the casting marks. The basic wrench configuration looks the same.
