Here's a nice Sargent Brosnihan-patent nut/pipe wrench that
arrived in the donations this week. Unlike the example on the
Alloy Artifacts site, the 'Brosnihan' and 'Sargent' stamps are a
single integrated stamp

"SARGENT BROSNIHAN
     PATENT
SEPT 4 1900"

One ear of the sliding jaw is broken off, but the rest is VG,
maybe VG+ I think.

(That's a Winchester 6" screwdriver that arrived with it,
keeping it company.  In a box of rusty stuff, these two spoke
to me.)

Sweet wrench I would have picked that one up too.

Dang!  That is a thing of beauty!
Good, too, that you rescued the Winchester from the humiliation of being used to open paint cans.
The ORIGINAL Northwoods.

Love that wrench. Nice save!
My friends call me Bob. My wife calls me a lot worse.

Darn straight!  That's what wood chisels are for!
