Help ID this tool?

but I will wait until tomorrow to check it, since it is 40 yards away, in the workshop, there is snow on the ground, 26 degrees, and I have my pajamas on.

NO. I insist that you run out there right this minute! LOL, and I hear you have hungry mountain lions out there too.

I have the same wrench it was part of my grand-father plumber  leather toolbox ...it works perfectly .

Any idea who they were made by?  Mine has no manufacturer's markings of any kind.

Mine is french made  , stamped "Peugeot Frères, tout acier "  which means " Peugeot Brothers , all steel "   the same Peugeot as the car manufacturers , these are excellent and durable tools .There's also a stamped African Lion which was their emblem .

The one like yours is a 9" labeled Crescent Tool Co.

The larger one is a 12" model weighing in at 3 pounds, 8 ounces.

It is labeled:

P.S. & W. Co.
Solid Bar
Jan. 14. 1890
Made in U.S.A.

I cleaned it off last year, oiled it, and stuck it on the pegboard out in one of the shops.

Works perfectly — no slop or wear signs after perhaps 128 years, or so — just work scars.

Would also make a nice weapon in a vehicle, or to bust out a window.

It belonged to Sue's Grandfather and was used out on the farm in Tranquility.  Like all of his tools, the handle was painted green.

Best,

Fred

The famous monkey wrench. The original multi-tool, use as a wrench, hammer, or pry things.

Thanks Fred. Yeah, that big one looks very robust, very nice.
