Wrenches from the Spring 2012 Missouri Valley Wrench Club Meet & W. News Auction

[Bus]

Here's a few of the wrenches I acquired at the Show and Swap Friday morning.

Clockwise from lower left corner:

1. Hill's patent AUG. 6, 1878 (7" small size)

2. McCormick's patent Sept 1875 and June 1876 also marked "Sterling". came with IHC Sterling Threshing Machines. Been looking for this one for years. Still need the smaller size.

3. Self adjusting pipe wrench marked: "T. Hand Orlando, Fla - U. S, Pat. No. 952,327. Unlisted, first one I have seen.

4. Artisan 4270 1/2" drive ratchet. I bought this one thinking it would look good with my corresponding S&K but when I go home I had another Artisan not the S&K.

5. Wayne Mfg. Co. - 24 double open ended cast wrench.

6. Goodell-Pratt Tool Smiths adjustable nut wrench with aluminum handle (small size)

7. Large cast hex socket marked "Lodi". Anyone have any info on Lodi?

Will try and get some more up later.

Bus, Great looking T. Hand wrench, never saw that one either. How can we get the prices realized list for the auction?

[Bus]

Les, Price Realized List will be $5.00. It will probably be a couple weeks before I get them out.

Here's some more pics of stuff I got at the swap meet. The Trimo nut wrenches are for a friend that collects Trimo. The big Williams slug wrench and the Williams wrench display board are for a another friend.

The 4" long hand vise that looks like a miniature post vise will stay here.

Bus,

  Nice looking scores out of the many available.

It was my first MVWC event and I had a great time!  I probably can't make the fall meet, but looking forward to next year!

That is the prettiest hand vise I ever saw!

That is the prettiest hand vise I ever saw!

Thanks, Branson. I thought so too. The workmanship is outstanding. It was kinda pricey but I couldn't leave it.

A Delco Liberty ignition wrench and gauge is pictured below I think there was a thread on Liberty wrenches on the old board? This is the last of what I got off the sales table except for some early Caterpillar Parts Books and Instruction Manuals. I will post some pics of auction purchases later.
