Cam lock wrench

[Bryan Burns]

Can anyone identify the model of this wrench? It appears to be a Utica. On a hunch, I googled cam wrench and it turned up some images of cam lock wrenches from both Bonney and Snap-on similar to this one, if that helps.

I'd like to know if the yellow paint is original. If not, I'm going to clean and polish the wrench. The yellow looks like Caterpillar yellow.

Found this one on ebay, also a Utica.

It's a ratcheting flare wrench, designed to grab the fastener away from the corners to reduce rounding. Patented in 1951 under the Cam-Loc name, it became the forerunner of Loc-Rite, which took the movable rounded pin idea and made it in forged alloy.
Originally available from 3/8" to 1". I have a few of the singles, but have managed to get the set of 4 doubles. Here's a close-up of the working end.
