Interesting. Deere, Ideal, and I just found one on an auction site with the brand name Babcock, all the exact same wrench. Was this common, having several manufacturers for the same tool?

It was a very common practice, and was continued and probably still is continued some with chrome junk. There is at least 6 of the Ideal style with different names on them, might be more than 6 but that's how many I can think of off the top of my head. Is that a "C" I see on it also?

In this case the same casting company (Eberhard) made all these wrenches for the different buggy manufactuers.
