Hello, new to the site and I'm glad I stumbled on to it because I've been a tool guy for years. I just can't seem to pass them up !!! I picked up this wrench a while back and cleaned it up. I've never come across one of these. It could be just a multiheaded speed wrench but I thought it might be a lug wrench?? It has four different size sockets and you simply push the head up and turn it to the next size. It's well made by the Fulton Co. and it's called a SUPPER WRENCH, it has a pat. date of 1922 on it. What do you guys think.
Thanks

Looks like a lug wrench to me.

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have one very similar.   Mine has steel grips, are those rubber?  Copper plated?  As in a wash?

It was pretty rusty when found so I didn't notice any copper color. Thanks for the info, it does say copper head on the handle I just couldn't make out the c or the o. it was pitted, I thought they were an s and a u ?? Hey 130 this could be yours, make an offer. Thanks guys, I'll keep looking.

If the "attach" works you can contemplate an early 1922 "new product" announcement for the COPPERHEAD RIM-BOLT WRENCH.  This one gives a different maker name than I'd seen before, so it also led to  a revision in the DATAMP entry.

I do not make offers on tools but if you ever decide you would like to see it go to a good home for a fair price let me know. Thanks

The Fulton Co and Cataract are both Milwaukee companies.
