I took a big chance and bid $5 on a picture and description on a local online auction. The description said everything on or under the workbench. Turns out there were more than 20 tools thrown on that bench under a lot of garbage. My favorites were a saw sharpening vise, a German saw still in the cardboard, a 4 saw set tools. But this big lumbering wrench just kept drawing me back to it. So I cleaned it up with vinegar and a few wire wheels.
Once I could read the mark, I searched the internet and discovered I am now the proud owner of a Joy’s Wagon Wrench. A premiere tool for all wagon and buggy enthusiasts of 1898. So now all I have to do is find an 1898 buggy and the set will be complete. Wish me luck.
