Box End Ratchet?
« on: October 12, 2012, 08:08:06 PM »
I picked up a little wrench today.  I am not sure if its been discussed here before.
But I never saw one.
 Front is marked B.R Co. Chi.
 On the back it says Patent Applied For
Its about 4" long overall, it ratchets smoothly.

 Also, a cute pair of bent pliers. These are watchmaker quality pliers. High grade. I can't read the trademark though.  It starts with a K and ends with an R and has probably 9 letters.
Its followed by Newark NJ USA, 5 1/2

  yours Scott

Ditto, normal mark would be "Kraeuter & Co." and "Newark, N.J. U.S.A"
(But they are small...)


I think that ratchet was described as a 'rim ratchet' (for the old cars where the tire part unbolts from the rim part) here a while back, I have a somewhat similar one.....
