Never seen one of these before, I may pick it up for nostalgia value

I see them around the flea markets around this neck of the wood quite a bit. You might be able to find one for less than half that, but if you cant 25 is not the worst thing ever.

That's not a pipe wrench. They're called "auto wrenches"...

I have one exactly like it without the Ford Logo. 50 years ago we knew them as Model T wrenches. I don't know if they had anything to do with the Model T Ford, or if that was just a name they picked up over the years.

Very common and cheap to buy unless wrench is in excellent conditin. I own several and see them all the time. Ford wrenches marked FORDSON are harder to find and worth more.
This style of wrench has been copied by many tool makers.

Gort.

Yea like said above it is one of the most common tools I find at yard sales and flea markets. You can normally get one for $1-$5 pretty easy.

I'd rate that one as listed at about 2X its street value. Look on Eprey, the come up all the time. (I've picked up 5 of these at yard sales in the past 2-3 years, never paid more than $2, and never seen one over $12...)

I've got two of them, don't use them but cool to have around. Don't think I'd pay $25 for it though.
