Had to buy this at a yard sale for $1.

Cute! I also have a fondness for those old rounded wrenches.

Is that a Dill & McGuire wrench?

All the best, Peter

The internet seems to say so.
I do allot of older furniture with square nuts. So, I actually use this.

That's wonderful! Some of those nuts on older furniture can be such bears when they have acquired a bit, or more of rust.

All the best, Peter

@1Mech How cool! The brass wrench appears to be a pin wrench. Any thoughts on what the original use was?

All the best, Peter

I may use the bottom one as a pattern for a balky 9" angle grinder that keeps destroying wrenches.
