I have a small monkey wrench about 8 inches long that has a spoon shape on the end of the handle. Other than that it is your basic old monkey wrench with square jaws. Anyone know what the spoon shape was for?? Kind of like a tire tool spoon on the end of the wrench. I do not know how to link a photo or post one of it here. I you do you can help me do that too. Also I will be happy to email you a picture of the wrench.
Thanks JI CASE

Try a search on "automobile", "bicycle", and/or "Ford" monkey wrench. Ford had one in their 1920's new car tool kit, flat end was for axle repair.

Can't keep up with this new fangled mechanelized stuff. Them horseless carriages is just a fab, won't last no time atall. I hear they are going to put a lectric starter on the motor, no one in their right mind is gonna pay for that when a good ole hand crank only costs 8�.

Sounds like an old bicycle monkey wrench. The spoon end was for changing a tire.

you could have a valuable find there....It could be the first Swiss army knife, combination wrench/soup spoon. I'd find out where Antiques Road Show is going to show up near your location, and bring it to 'em

By the way I cleaned this wrench with the Elecrolytic rust remover technique. If you have not seen this post it is in www.stovebolt.com/techtips/rust/electrolytic_derusting.html
Hope you can find the article, this really works well. I am using two vats now one is a 5 galon bucket and other is a 55 galon drum both plastic and a 40 amp battery charge. It makes a really rusty old tool or anythig else of metal you can get in the vat come clean really easy. Thanks

I'm using a Walmart storage tub of about 30 gallons for my electrolsys. I am certainly no friend of rust but it does not scare me like it used to. Cheap and effective. That's a winning combination

Unfortunately I don't know anything about your wrench. Still I wanted to say thanks for the link. I love anything old and the next best thing to an old tractor is an old truck.
