Still looking for ...

Maybe somebody has a memory flash, or maybe one of our new members has new information.

I'm still looking for an example or a picture or a drawing -- whatever -- for the DOE wrench issued with the mountain howitzer smith's tools.  One end has an inch and a half opening, and the other end has a 3/4 inch opening.  There's doubtless a few lying around from old farms (that's the history of the original anvil we found).   

It's hard to imagine that one of these can be found, though.  I need to find out what one *would* look like.  Other than the openings, no dimensions are given that I have found yet.  It seems they were straight, not s shaped, and the sides of the jaws might have been parallel to the shaft.

These would have been mass produced, not one-offs made by individual smiths.

1930

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.
