It is a combination monkey wrench and pipe wrench, uncommon in areas, but not real unusual.   See them often in large displays of adjustables.

Isn't that a Bemis and Call wrench?
$5 would be a real good price for your collection. But they are kind of hard to sell for any price I'm told.
 So buying it to keep is a score!
 But not for resale.

 The plane is a Stanley Liberty Bell.  Usually these are practically impossible to give away for any price, but then they are usually beat to crap when you see them.
  With the color and crisp edges I am seeing in the picture? if the rear handle is mint and its not broken anyplace else?
  You could find a buyer for that tool if you wanted, pretty easy.
        yours Scott

The Bemis and Call Wrench in the photo up here has brought like $20 at Flea MArkets, but I got one at an auction for a lot less for the collection.  They just look cool.......

I have a nice one. Looks like I'll have it a long time. Every one thinks it is neat , but not neat enough to buy.
It looks good hanging on the display board.
Of all the things I've lost , I miss my mind the most
