I just received this nice Bergman in the mail. Ebay buy at a good price- $10 including postage!

First of the straight handles I've seen.  For some reason I thought all the handles were curved.  You learn something everyday.

That's a real nice wrench.  Guess I missed it on the bay or I probably would have chased it.

They went out of business near the beginning of the Depression.
