Donnelly Online Auction

[Lewill2]

Heavy bidding last night on quality wrenches that were offered in the online only Donnelly auction. It appears the top wrench was a Joseph Hyde patented wrench that might be the only one that has come to market so far. Looks like it sold for $3,300 + buyers premium, taxes and shipping. Several other quality wrenches brought strong money.

The Hyde patent is for a worm screw quick adjust wrench where the worm screw is mounted on an eccentric shaft.

With a pre-sale estimate of $200-$400.  I guess the $3300 it brought wasn't really expected.  Nice surprise.
