It's simply an early version of a flank-drive tool.

New Britain made a version too and may have done so earlier than your Peugeot.

We discussed them here:

Larry beat me to it. I love the proto la wrench. My favorite piece in the bunch. Uou did well for less than a $20

Nice goodies, like the Matco BP too.

Yes, my plumb/ Proto LA stuff is adding up. I have found a bunch of this stuff. Most of it in the same condition as above. Uniform rust is what i would call it, but no pitting. The old black oxide finish they used must rust easily, but still protects the base metal.

Thanks for the info, on the peugeot. i read that thread before, but forgot about it.

Since your "French Wrench" is marked Peugeot Bros it's probably from an old Peugeot automobile tool kit.
