International Harvester monkey. Handle is bent on it. Pretty common wrench, as are 99% of the IHC wrenches you are most likely to find. Still nice to have them though.

One of the members here put this one on ebay recently...

It is a pretty example of the wrench, not sure if it is the same size as the one in the original post.

i think they were available into the 1940's, mostly in equipment toolkits.
