Take a look at this "INTERTYPE TRIANGLE B SPRING-LEVER WRENCH" someone emailed me about.
I don't have Schulz or Cope here at work with me and AA didn't help.

Sure it is Billings.
Emailer needs to know about it- purpose, etc.

I got the same email. Replied that printers would of used it on Intertype type casting machines which were similar to Linotype machines.

According to a snippit of an instruction manual, the wrench with the forked end is a 'mold cap wrench', the forks are for lifting the mold off the frame...

Intertype started a bit before 1918, Linotype responded by slandering the heck out of them (the machines don't work, they were only founded to make us buy them out ,etc), and a predictable lawsuit followed.....

The company continued into the 60's, then became Harris Intertype...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
