Complete Sets?

Left to Right, Gordon Automatic Quick Adjust Crescent Style Wrenches, 10 inch, 8 inch and 6 inch. Did they make any other sizes? All 3 marked patent pending, Patented July 22, 1924. Next Athol Machine Co., Standard Tool Co Quick Adjust Rapid Transit Wrenches, 8 1/2 Inches with wood handle and the more common 6 inch all steel version. I don't believe they made any other sizes of this one. Patented June 8, 1880.

Maybe I finally completed these 2 sets.

Very nice!!  I've never seen the Gordon's before.  I have one of the all metal Standard Rapid Transit's but did not know it came in the larger size.  I was under the impression that there was a 6 in. version with a wood handle.  Do you know if that is true?

As far as I know the 6 inch Athol/Standard Rapid Wrench only came with a steel handle. I could be wrong but I have never seen one.

As far as I know, that is the case. I haven't seen the wooden handled 8" one.

I have each of the steel ones, one Standard Tool and one Athol Machine.

I realized there is also a 10 inch wood handled version of the Athol/Standard Rapid Wrench. I have one that has been butchered in one of my backup storage drawers. I guess I'll have to try and revive it for display.

I found a good 10 inch Athol/Standard Tool quick adjust to complete the set. 10 inch, 8 inch and 6 inch nominal sizes.

NICE!!  I am on the lookout for those wood handled ones.

Nice groups. Can you still find these in the wild or do the come from wrench auctions?

[Lewill2]

In the wild maybe, these have come from auctions, so they must have been in the wild at some point.
