Well- It is old and crusty! Looks like a wedge adjust or key lock adjustable, but his imagination has gone round the bend!!

No, I'm pretty simple it is a Snappy. Why don't you fellows take up a collection. When you get $89, just send it to me, care of general delivery and I'll inspect it personally.
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

It's not easy getting patina like that.

The little supporting extension under the sliding jaw was a nice touch.  A late 1890s H. Harvey (Augusta ME ) ad reprinted on pg. 7 of the Dec. 1985  MVWC newsletter shows a curved handle like that on their wedge adjust wrench for railroad & quarry work, but not the extra supporting lip on the sliding jaw.  Take a look at the jaw shapes of the wrench in S#501.  The sliding jaw on that one did not have that extra extension either.
