Acme Twisted Handle Wrenches

[crguy]

I have a limited number of odd antique wrenches, and these are some I like. They range from 5" to 20", and like a lot of wrenches the smallest and largest are the hardest to find. The 2 biggest I have now are these 15" models. Anybody else like these? I'd like to get a couple of the 20" size in case anybody has one for sale.
