Help finding a special wrench

[JoeCB]

Hello all,  The attached picture shows a special wrench that was part of the tool kit for a 1920's Caille Liberty outboard motor. The wrench is shown on the parts sheet as "25076 Spark Plug wrench". What makes this wrench distinctive is the slot in the handle that I believe was to be used on the several wing nuts that are used on this motor. I guess that the hex box end id 1 -1/8 " , the size of the old Champion C-4 spark plugs. I say "guess" because, although there are several of the old motors among us that collect such things , no one has ever had a OEM wrench. I am also guessing that this is a flat stamped metal wrench, not a full body forging, but again only a guess.
So any of you folks ever seen one like it? Are the "flat" wrenches something that collectors specialize in. I have no idea if this Caille wrench had a makers mark or part number on it. Oh' what might help is that Caille motors were made in Detroit. If someone has such a wrench I sure would appreciate a discription, photo , tracing or perhaps even an oppertunity to purchase.

Thanks for looking ...

Rather obscure, but we just might have someone here to help.

If your ever going to find one, one the guys here will find it for you. I can't believe the knowledge and help shared on this forum. 

Fingers crossed for you.

When looking for an obscure old tool, I've had some success browsing through the old Wrenching News auctions. There are so many tools pictured, it's a bit like looking for the needle in the haystack, but sometimes you get lucky. The tools themselves have already been sold of course, but at least you get to see what they look like, and oftentimes there is a bit of a description.

Go to the Wrenching News site: http://www.wrenchingnews.com/#UWE

Scroll down to Links to Past Wrench Auctions Catalogs. Click on one of them.

You can then read through all the descriptions, but I prefer looking at the pictures. Click on To view all pictures on one page Click Here

Good luck!!

Plyerman, thanks for the links to the "wrench" sites.... WOW! I had no idea that all this wrench stuff was out there. I love old tools and such, but in I guess a less formal way.  You guys are doing it to me... I could spend endless hours going thru all this new found information.

Fair warning - it does become addictive!

And may become close to an obsession given the infinitude of wrenches out there.
