Picked this up in Maine.  Not in Schulz or Cope books.  Couldn't find a marking, but haven't cleaned the gunk yet.  7-1/2"L.  Anyone know the maker? thanks

Looks familiar, Bob might know.  He'll be around presently.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

Another tool friend of mine identified it in record time.  Patent 1163532 by T. Hand, 12/7/1915

  Stan may want to put the picture in DATAMP.

  DATAMP listed it as not known to have been made.

I've been busy the last few days with "eclipse path of  totality" & aftermath -- the tool was Kilborn & Bishop combination wrench -- advertised in the early 1920s. (see pg. 30 of Sept. 2009 MVWC Newsletter).  Thanks for the patent number.

thanks Stan...so have a few of these surfaced?

Just a few; it has come to my attention only a couple of times.
