Radebuel wrench

This is a wrench that appears to be of indifferent quality. I've never seen another one here in Canada but possibly it's from a vehicle toolkit. 

Coming from the DDR (East Germany) we can date it  roughly between the late 40s to 1989. During that era all industry was VEB- Volkseigener Betreib- meaning State-run industry, the acronym also acquired a tongue in cheek translation- Vatis ehemaliger Betrieb-  Daddy's former business...

With Rolf's help, I found the listing below but I did not find much more info.
