Picked up these 2 alligator wrenches for my collection.  Thought they seemed unusual and very old.  They are stamped "Kearney & F CO."  Also found is a "K & F" logo within a circle.  There is the word "trademark" also stamped.  I could not find any wrench or tool company information with this name.  There was a Kearney and Foot file and rasp company, but no reference to any wrenches.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

They are blacksmith/farmer made from rasps used in the hoof trimming trade

Thanks, that would make sense.  The logo would have been from the original rasp, before it was a wrench.

I have some similar, but with no markings. I think quite a few were made by individuals for their own purposes.
