Ben Hur
« on: July 28, 2015, 04:06:56 PM »
Here's a nice clean 8-inch "Ben Hur" Stillson-pattern, one of the house brands of Van Camp Hardware (Indianapolis), though I don't know who actually made them.

That is a nice looking tool. The teeth don't show any wear. I have never heard of a Ben Hur branded tool. I have had Hercules and Sampson branded tools in the past. Once again, that's a nice wrench you have there.

The photo background is a placemat. Which means that the tool was on the kitchen table when photographed. Which, my wife will tell you, is not really where it was supposed to be, but all too often is.

I haven't seen many Ben Hur wrenches, I have a wood handle 6 inch pipe wrench and a wood handle 10 inch monkey wrench.
