Old wrench

[jml818]

Just wondering when a wrench such as this would have been made?

Farm equipment / plow wrench maybe Acme or John Deere if your lucky. The relic hunters will know this one..probably need the markings if you can see them.

Farmers Type S Wrench is what I found. Bottom of photo seems to match pretty good.

I've seen them in implement tool boxes from the 1890's but they probably go back farther than that?

Thanks DFXscout I believe that is the same one in the picture. Interesting stuff for sure.

I've found a few of these in the farm fields over the years as well.
My understanding is these wrenches were part of a set of tools the farmer often carried into the fields to service their plows with.
