I did a little searching and came up with nothing. I figure this should be an easy one for you guys that are more familiar with the type of wrench I found this logo. It's on a 6" wood handled monkey type wrench. I can put up a picture of the wrench later but don't have it handy right now, so, I drew this from memory. It may not be exact and the letters may be G D or something similar. Anyway, does anyone recognize this?

Could it be this?


Posted it awhile back - I think the consensus was Green Tool and Die(?) in Ohio.

That's it. After I posted, I went out and looked. I had left out the "T" and didn't quite have it right. Here's the wrench:

Thanks, Wayne. I think I'll degrease it and it should clean up nice. It's my first wood handled wrench. I picked up a big old Williams aluminum pipe wrench the same day. It's light as a feather. Is the aluminum to make it sparkless?
It's 14 inches and weighs in at about 6 - 8 ounces I'd guess?

I want to warn you about those wrenches, not that it will do any good...

You've answered your own question.
It's for the weight.

The logo this post started out on is for Greenfield Tap and Die Company of Greenfield, Massachusetts. Pictures are of an 8-inch GTD pipe wrench.  The logo catches, in the zig-zag outline, the Berkshire Mountains at the base of which Greenfield, MA sits.  As a schoolboy, I went through Greenfield numerous times going back and forth to school.
