Help Identify - 5" combo nut/pipe wrench

Unmarked, 4-7/8"L, nickel plated.  Couldn't find in either Schulz or Cope wrench books.

Nice little wrench, I haven't seen one like that before. Looks like the spacer above the adjusting nut is out of place, after thought or replacement adjusting nut?? I t would have followed me home too. Nice find.

So, one side has teeth for grip - the other side is flat for those fasteners you don't want to scratch up?????

Interesting little tool though.

I don't recognize it. Too bad there are no markings.  /-:

I just increased the coolness factor.  Couldn't find a mfg mark, but it has a screwdriver in its handle!!!

Similar in design to the Boardman wrench. Boardman had a hammer head & tack puller as well as a screw driver tip on the end of the main shaft of the wrench.

Reminds me of the Trimo Emergency Wrench.
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

That's the one I was trying to think of Yadda.

11/64 or 11/32? 11/64 seems really small for the threads of a handle.
