Fox's patent wrench

[Lewill2]

Lennard, just keep in mind that from around 1830's or 1840's until around 1930 there were over 4,000 wrench patents issued in the US alone. Happy hunting and enjoy the fun.

Lewill2;, thank you for the information on that wrench, they opened up with no problem, although
I had to use the magnifying glass on the 1st one.  (due to my eyes)

those bars really did make me believe they were later that 1840-1850

I will be looking forward to the release of the new wrench book.

Lennard; when you are looking to pick up your next wrenches, as you handle one and examine it,
you will have the feeling if it is the right one for you.

collecting wrenches is a good start to a healthy retirement project, it keeps the mind alive.

thank you all, I found this subject on the Fox wrench interesting.  Frank
