Some things from a sale today. Anyone know the maker of the pipe wrench?

Made like a Bemis & Call , but the handle looks smaller, as in narrower and shorter.

What kind of wrench is under that adjustable?
Havn't seen one like it.

That is a 1907 or there about 10" Craftsman. I'm not sure of the relationship of the company that made this and Sears.

Head is an exact match to a B&C, the handle length varies on those, but the lack of a bulbous part in the handle, and the strangly long handle nut lead me down the path of 'replaced handle'. Nothing of B&C's that I looked at have that nut.....

All of these are B&C's except the oddball vertical one

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Can we get a better shot of the cowbell ? Does that qualify for the 4" and under club ?

I keeed, I keeed !   Great Haul ! Nice set of tools to pick up. The wooden handled wrench is sweet, no matter who made, or fixed it.

Hey, do I see a little front lip on that vise? Is it a Prentiss? 

Ohh... nice ladle too!

Thanks for the replies. It is a Prentiss 52, you know your vises. Poking around on the net I saw a wrench like the double made by Williams, I hate to take the patina off but might find a ID mark.

Craftsman Tool Company of Conneaut, Ohio made the roller-jawed pipe wrench shown.  They are marked with a patent date of Nov. 1907.  Sears, Roebuck bought the Craftsman Tool Company sometime after 1907, and began branding their tools "Craftsman".
