Box end wrench


Here we have an elegant box end 1 3/4" wrench, presumably designed for a specific use, no makers name or markings other than the size.

That Mr. G is a beautiful wrench. Somehow I think steam locomotive.

Beautiful and markedly unmeaty at the business end. Maybe meant for brass-on-brass fixtures?

That looks like a hubcap wrench.

I second hubcap wrench; here's a couple of the same ones in an auction lot:

PS: I would have used "cheap" rather than "elegant" ;-)

Hub cap as in threaded grease cap so it must be old. But cheap? This is a cheap wrench! https://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2012/03/stamped-ignition-wrench.html

That wrench reminds me of the ones they include in the box when you buy a piece of "flat pack" furniture.

Single-use wrench!
