I know I ask a lot of questions, but....
« on: March 23, 2019, 05:55:12 PM »
I got an early Blue-Point open end wrench today, exactly like the one in this sold ad from ebay.

Like this one, the underline on Blue extends clear to the hyphen, and the hyphen slants upward.  All the others I see, save one, have a shorter underline, and the hyphen slants downward.  Compare this with ones you may have and give me some feedback, please.
Does this mean mine is worth its weight in gold--or steel?

Please do.   I know i see something new (to me) here all the time.   I may get to post some more wrench pictures myself soon as i rescued probably a half dozen from the "on their way to the dumpster" but haven't got them home yet.   :smiley:
