Help me understand this classified.

I am stumped. In my little tiny local newspaper, there is a section I always look at, but rarely see anything interesting.

Tonight, I see this:

6 open-end wrenches. Various sizes, made by Martin & Co. $1,000 obo. 610-38n-nnnn

What????

Who is Martin & Co?

Suspect member Snappy might know something if anyone does...especially if this is some sought after local collectible. I think he is my neighbor...

Anyone have any thoughts?

They are probably old, and they think they are worth a fortune.

My best guess is that he is selling six massive Martin angle check nut wrenches...

Some of the large sizes are very expensive!

Is that a division of Martin sprocket and gear? The logo looks the same as what I used to see on gears and sprockets I used.....

Is that a division of Martin sprocket and gear?

Yes.

The tool division used to be Fairmount Tool & Forging Company...

That's as good as guess as any. Thanks for the link, LG. Informative posts like this are one of the reasons I am still here, 7years later

No problem!

So did you call the guy to ask what sizes he has? A single wrench can be over $1000...
