✅ SOLVED I D this wrench

[NVNutcase]

Found at a 1900+ era homestead. No visible markings that I can see. Big opening is 1 1/4" and the other side is 1 1/16". Just wondering if it has something to do Model A's or Model T's

Oops, forgot the trouble with posting pics. I'll update at a later date

the tools we have for Model T and model A are tool sets you would get when you bought a car, and they all say FORD on them, some are straight open end wrenches and some are S shaped but will wait to see your pics when you post

Test ! Well, that didn't work. Guess I'll have to put in a call to the President's Internet Sharpshooters.

My guess for welding torch (acetylene)

Wagon and buggy and farm equipment wrenches come in lots of sizes and shapes. I think yours pre dates automobiles.

I agree with Bigcypresshunter. Acetylene /oxygen wrench.
The small end for acetylene gauge , big end for oxygen gauge and little square turns on acetylene tank.

Some others include smaller sizes for hooking up lines to gauges or changing torch tips.

While it could possibly be an Acetylene wrench, I'm more inclined to think that it is an implement wrench. Do a google search for "vintage implement wrench" and you'll find a huge array of specially designed tools that used to be included with specialty implements and other farm equipment. Literally thousands of different designs.........

Here's one site that specializes in antique farm wrenches and you'll see how varied the wrench designs are. It may be hard to find a specific purpose for this wrench unless there are some markings on it.

Hello Snoopy, while it could be a different wrench, the tiny square hole screams acetylene, it could also be a for valve stem. IMO the small square is key to ID.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Second thought, it may be too large for acetylene. My acetylene is under 1/4 inch square if I recall correctly.

MC size tanks take 3/8".

Yes, gotta be an Oxy/acetylene tank wrench. Good eye Big Cypress.

It looks like there is more than sufficient evidence that this could be tank related. My earlier suggestion of a farm type tool was based on having used a variety of similar multi-function wrenches on Dad's farm while growing up. Some of the equipment, like our old seed fanning mill would have a wrench tied to it that was used to adjust square ended threaded rods which were then set with a lock nut. Most of these wrenches did have more sizes built in though, like the following.
