I have exhausted all research resources attempting to identify T. O. Byrum.  Seeking information on the maker and/or T. O. Byrum.  Openings are slightly under 5/16 and slightly under 1/4.

Looks hand made by one Mr. T.O. Byrum.

And fine job he did!  I came home with a handmade wrench last week, much smaller and more crude.

New one to me!

Take a closer look.

I find a T. Q. Byrum, born July 1842, living in Durham N.C. in 1900.
His occupation was blacksmith.

Could be your man.

his occupation and time of existence makes for a strong positive identification.

also, after looking at the 2nd picture again, it does look like a tail on the O to resemble a Q.

just adding my 2 cents worth here.

I'll agree that it does make sense but the T has a period after it, which would dictate that the O/Q does too.  I used a good glass today and can't see a Q.  That said, the wrench is old and I like the story!
