Here’s a 5/8- 19/32” wrench made in the USA by Hinsdale Mfg. Markings are all on one side.
The company was started in -919 by Fred W. Miller in Hinsdale, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Lacking a better idea he named it after the town but within a couple of years had moved to a new factory on Fulton St in Chicago. They made wrenches, socket sets and other mechanics hand tools. These tools were available through WesternAuto, Montgomery Ward, Sears and others.
The company seems to have lasted into the 1950s.
