Keystone Wrench's ??

[HeelSpur]

After I found a #77 Keystone Wrench I got to wondering about their numbering system.
I saw several different ones on ebay but still not all that I believe are out there.
Does anyone have or know of a list for these wrenchs. I know of these;

Curved ones are;
#76 is 6 inch 
#78 is 8 inch
#80 is 10 inch
#82 is 12 inch
#84 is 14 inch

Straight ones that I know of;
#77 is 7 inch
#81 is 11 inch

so does it make sence that there is a #79 - 9 inch
& #83 for a 13 inch?? If even numbers are curved
and the straights are odd numbered.

Here are the 3 that I have so I might as well collect them all, right :-)

There is a curved 4 inch, I believe.

There is a curved 4 inch, I believe.

That would make my questionable list bigger then.
I guess the 4" curved would be # 74, and possibly a 5" straight one.

I've never heard of a #75 5 inch; the only ones in the odd number straight handles I'm aware of are #77, #79 & #81.  I've never seen an ad or catalog listing for the odd # Keystone straight handle adjustables, but the even numbered ones are listed in the 1920s. An April 1922 ad listing the #74 as "newly added to the line" was reprinted on pg.8 of the June 2011 MVWC newsletter.
#74 4 inch was only produced as a nut wrench and is one of those relatively high dollar 4-inchers.  # 76 through 84 were produced with nut and pipe jaws --

Well, sure; now that you're started, you really need to complete the set.

[HeelSpur]

Lots of great info. and a challenging task I'm gonna take on especially finding them one at a time.

[rustcollector]

Of course, you get the Westcott's, then there is the Erie, Bonney and it seems like there is a few others that I can't recall at the moment. Also you will need the Fordson branded ones too. Both the embossed and stamped ones.

Got enough to keep you busy for a while yet?

That's a little more than steep for these short pockets, but there's always them yard sales & auctions and such.

[HeelSpur]

Got this to go with the other Keystones but it doesn't have a number just 12" auto.

[volvadi]

That's nice!

Here is an 11 inch #81 on Ebay to go with your 7 inch #77.   Good luck!

(not mine).

To bring an old thread back to life.......

23 hours of my time and 530 miles of driving later.... I have a 74 now. Had no idea it was there until I got to the sale, and couldn't believe I actually found one. It's not perfect, but I'll take it. Especially since I don't have near as much into cash wise as that one that was linked to earlier in the thread that sold on ebay. I thought that completed my Westcott collection..wrong, forgot my 14" ers were not westcott's, so I'm searching for that one now since the hardest one is out of the way.

BTW... I did get more than just this wrench. Actually got a fair amount of decent farm wrenches.

I finally talked my buddy into selling me his #84, the problem is last year when he bought it I was kidding with him that I was gonna steal it, we looked an hour and a half for that wrench and never found it. lol, he thinks its in a box in his attic, hope so or he might really think I took it.

Are there any more Wescott auto wrenches other than this 12 incher?
