IHC monkey wrench

[stanley62]

Found this little guy last weekend.  I thought it was probably pretty common, since that is all I find  here in So. Cal when it comes to implement company wrenches.  Common? Rare?   Only markings are the IHC logos and a small 8 stamped on wrench.

 Those are fairly easy to find around here.

Also easy to find in Eastern PA.  International Harvester Company made many thousands of these wrenches. They come in two sizes that I know of, Large (11 7/8" long), and Medium (9 1/4" long).  There may be other sizes, but I haven't found them (yet).

Never fails... I think I have found something good and it turns out to be common.  Oh well, looks good on the peg board!

 I was hoping you had found an adjustable like the ones that came with the Ford car but with IHC mark. I know IHC issued an adjustable that looks like the Ford wrench but don't know if they had IHC logo. If they did I haven't seen one.

If things are common, there's a reason for it.  Not always, but very often, the reason is that it works, and works well.  If it didn't work, people stop making it.  (Some tools ought to be a lot more rare!)  If it does work, companies make more of them.  Common can be an excellent recommendation.
