Title: Yesterday's Find
Post by: Wrenchmensch on April 14, 2013, 11:32:49 AM

Found a 6-inch Walworth Mfg. Co, August, 1882 patent (by Caleb Walworth), Stillson wrench in good recoverable shape.  Photos show post-recovery (rust removed, handle straightened, and handle cleaned and boiled linseed oil applied - thanks to Herb Keane's lessons).

Looks fabulous, congrats! (did you by chance take any "before" photos?)

No, but that is a good idea!
