I have one! My mother gave it to me years ago when she was selling Avon.

OK, OK, I bought it.  For those of you (1930) with wrench envy issues, there are others. Searching ebay for 'avon wrench' found a bunch of them. Here is a link to a whole tool kit that smells like cheap aftershave.

Hmm...how much rum would fit in that wrench?
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

That must be a key difference between drinking in Bucks Co. and drinking in Chester Co.  No one drinks perfume-tainted spirits down here Les, ever!
