Stillson/Crescent pipe wrench
« on: August 17, 2013, 04:38:53 PM »
This is the first one of these I have come across. I am trying to find out if they came in other sizes besides 10" but whenever I download the Crescent catalog my computer freezes up, so can anyone help me with this please.

Which catalogue?

Stillsons don't appear at all in the 1946 edition at Rose's...

But my archives have a 1958 ad (in very poor resolution) wherein I can just barely make out: "Six sizes, 6" to 24""(I think).

The same ad refers to the "Heavy Duty Pattern" being "Brand New"...

Ditto, catalog 24c shows no pipe wrenches....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

A 1957 ad removes all doubt:

It was a tough find but I found an 18" one that sold in 2008, so 2 different sizes so far.
