Gray adjustable, is this old?

[78RS_to112SS]

Found this in a box I bought at the auction a while back.

I was impressed to find it was made in Canada.

Any info on this will be appreciated...

Looks quite close to a Keystone Westcott curved wrench made in Buffalo. I think that design was all the rage back in the old days.

I just visited my very good friend Google and could not really find anything like it to help identify further,,,

I am interested too, since I inherited one just like it from my dad.

Hmmm could have sworn I posted this earlier today...

While I don't know the specifics, I'm pretty sure that is early 20th century, possibly earlier...

Gray Tools was founded in 1912 in Toronto (now in Brampton, ON). That looks like it may have been made not too long after (JMO).

Do any tool companies make a cranked handle adjustable wrench any more ? if so I've got a few tasks to perform where they'ed be the ideal candidate for the job.

I have two of those: an 8" and a 12".

I have a feeling they are much more recent than one might expect considering similar models have been available from other manufacturers for a hundred years or more. The first time they appear in a Gray catalogue seems to be 1963!
