My first single-offset wrench.
Finish is pretty worn, but the broaching is sharp and crisp. AA says these were made 1936 thru 1947. And this puppy looks great for a 60+ year old tool!

And I look fairly good for a 70 year old FOOL!

Unless you've gotten a big single offset that I don't know about!

Cleaned the DBE today, and uncovered an "X" in the date code. That puts it in 1947. So, 66 years old it is!
