I have a couple of old monkey wrenches that I am unable to identify the maker of.  The markings seem to show they were made in Cleveland, Ohio and are hardened but I just can't seem to be able to make out the manufacturer.  It might be Lamson, but I don't see Sessions.  Perhaps made under a Coes patent?  I have attached a photo hoping that someone more knowledgeable than I might be able to identify it.

Thanks,

Doing some color magic, I think I see

? ? A. S. CO
CLEVELAND,O.


Other than Notable Fairmont and Eberhard, there were not all that many wrench makers in Cleveland...hmmm
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I suggest it reads:

THE LAMSON
CASE HARDENED
L&S CO.
CLEVELAND, O.


It's an old Lamson & Sessions monkey wrench...
