Title: WMRR Wrench
Post by: HeelSpur on July 14, 2013, 01:52:56 PM
This wrench has an odd marking on it, where would one start to look for info about it?
It was totally rusted up and could only barely make out 3/4 on it when I bought it.
The last pic is another I picked up and seems to be home forged.

Right here 'P

The tree shaped mark is from Verona Tool Works

WMRR Is the Western Maryland Railroad

Likely some sort of track wrench...

That was quick, thanks Rusty. When I first saw it I was thinking some kind of Chinese chop marks.
