I visited a couple of PA barns this morning where I found these wrenches. The 7 3/4" Hurst wrench was probably issued by Hurst Manufacturing Company, an agricultural spraying equipment firm in Canton, Ohio around 1900. 

The 11" multi-wrench is marked "PATENT APPLIED FOR" and "NO. 3".  It has 5 open sizes, 3/4" and 7/8" on one end and 1/2", 3/16" and 3/8" on the other end.  The hex and the square axle nut sockets (see side view picture) are both 1 1/8" in size. Does anyone know the provenance for this wrench, e.g. who made it and when?

 Nice finds. Don't recall seeing either of them before. That Hurst is not one of two in Rathbone.

I went through Donald Snyder's books, Marvin Wullbwebers' book, the Schulz's book, and both of Pete Rathbone's books. The multiwrench wasn't in any of them.  Help!
