I recently aquired at auction a steel adjustable wrench. It is approximately 8 inches long by 3 inches wide at the jaws. The jaws open to abour 2 and 1/2 inches and are adjusted by a fluted cylinder which is approximately 1/2 inch long. It adjusts "pipe wrench" like. The lower handle is looped and curves slightly to the front. The top jaw's back is square and appears to have been used as a hammer. The lower jaw is marked with a raised "10" on the left side. The left side handle is also marked with a raised "PAT SEP 7 37" while the right side is marked with a raised "INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER". Is this tool particular to a certain tractor and if so which one? Or, if this is part of a set, does anyone know how many tools were in the set?

Any idea if a wrench like Gregory described is worth anything?

Sounds like you have an "engineer's wrench" which is a cross between a Ridgid style pipe wrench and a Cresent style adjustable wrench.

There were rather common in the first half of the past century.

I think they came in different sizes but seldom sold in sets. Since they were "adjustable", they could be used for many applications on IH or any other piece of machinery.

Today's "Cresent" style of adjustable wrench has become so popular that you don't often see engineer's wrenches being sold as they were heavier and bulkier and thus not as useful as today's more modern designs.

I can't think of any of the major tool companies who still make engineers wrenches although a tool like this could be offered by Stanley Tool Works from their worldwide empire.
