Billings/Coes UPRR 18" Monkey Wrench

[HeelSpur]

Had this in my stash and had forgot about it till I saw one at a flea market this past weekend. The guy had $70 on it, yup 70 bux.
I've been noticing other 18 inchers at flea markets on the rise. Most were between 30-40 each. I've only been collecting for 6 years or so and have seen a dramatic increase in the past few years.
Glad I got mine at the right time. $5.

Wrenches aren't going to sell at those prices. There are millions of them out there.

Yup. There's a reason that guy's $70 wrench was still sitting there unsold.

They're neat tools, but just not worth that much.

Still to be found under $10.00.
