sorry for the crappy pic. the white part is where its engraved. I used chalk to raise the engraving. thought it was cool to share. I also have the same exact wrench in a bigger size. my neighbor gave it to me with a bunch of other tools.

What do you think the value would be on something like that? It still operates perfectly and shows nicely up close

Wow that is a wonderful tool,very nice! Put some oil on a rag and use it on the tool ,do this about twice a year. If you have a dry place in your garage then by all means hang it on the wall.

As far a price goes some of the rare ones will go for big dollars,you need to do some research,try the wrenching news.com and you can see what prices they are getting.

I have a few I think they are fun to look at!

All the best Woody.
