Update....

Just realized there is what I believe to be a Deere/Syracuse Z3 wrench in there also. This wrench had me a bit puzzled, as it looked like the script SCP style, but is completely unmarked. It wasn't until I read Dill's list for about the 50th time that I realized the Z3 is UNmarked. Pretty sure this is it. Hopefully somebody can confirm one way or the other. While it doesn't show it in the picture, the lenth is actually 10 3/4".

Also found a David Bradley 125, but it is fairly rough.

Edit.. I just got the pictures to load from the Friedman Auction on the wrenching news. It matches the Z3 on there.

Nice hall, I would say you did pretty good.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Never thought to look in volume 2, I rarely use the hard cover of volume 2. Mostly all foreign wrenches.

Wow such a auction. Great buys. Had trouble typing this since I kept drooling on keyboard. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone. Like I said earlier, I paid pretty good for all of it, but not nearly what I think the value would be if they were out in a York, NE auction, or other well publicized wrench auction.  I paid just a little over what the Elias wrench brought at the Friedman auction back in 2006 for all of them.

I need to get busy selling some of the extras soon, I can't sit on them until next Canandaigua show. Not sure I want to do the ebay stuff anymore, but I may have to.

How much did the Elias bring at the 2006 auction?

I had told Carl after he asked, but to others interested,the Elias brought seven and a quarter.

One was listed on Fee-bay a few months ago. Had ot totally listed wrong and it brought in The $200 range. I believe Mr. Marshall ended up with it. I'm proud to have one behind glass in my "gooduns" case.

Was it the one that was listed as a propeller wrench or something like that?
