A few more Barcalo adjustable wrenches. The first picture is of the unique double panel adjustable wrenches. The next wrenches are a similar style but with reinforced hanging holes. The last picture is of their conventional adjustables except the bottom wrench was made by Danielson.

Nice collection Don! Those double panel adjustables have unique styling.  Do you have a time frame of when they were manufactured?

This is from 1920. One recently turned up in a picture of a WW2 specialized toolset.

They are pretty sexy-looking. And thanks for posting the pictures. Nice collection!

My pleasure. Here is some more 7 in 1 info.

I have a 7-in-1.  Couldn't resist.  Hit me high on the quirkiness meter.

While we're on the Barcalo brand, I admit having an affinity for the modern tool (1958)  with the distinctive box end.

Is the box end a design feature or does it have a practical applicability?

Don't know whether the design is cosmetic or structural.  It does, though, allow for a flatter profile, FWTW.
