ring a bell? anybody?

Atwater comes to mind but I will have to check my books when I get back to the house, unless somebody else responds by then.
Nope dead wrong on that, Vandegrift 1-6-1891 patent.
Scott, Looks like its been in the ground awhile. Found in your neighborhood? New one on me.
Thanks Lewell!
Its in Va, a buddy found it. I'd never seen one either.
Too bad its in relic condition.
yours Scott
If you look through the old MVWC auction pictures you will see 2 different sized all iron versions and one with a wood handle.
Relic condition or not, its still pretty neat!
Also comes with smooth jaws for nuts or serrated jaws for pipe.
You did well finding that Vandegrift! Here, as already mentioned by a fellow-poster, are 3 Vandegrift wrenches of the type you found. I guess I'd have to hunt at least 400 - 600 miles west of here to find these wrenches with serrated jaws at an auction or a flea market, and maybe not even then!
