Haven’t been on the journal for a few days (Back in the Finger Lakes this weekend, marrying off LesserDottir2).

Thanks for indulging me. I thought I had lost my touch.
Congrats! Tis the season! (I just went to the After-Reception party of a dear friend's daughter's wedding last night.) No urgency on the other posts. Whenever you catch up. Just proposing some horse tradin' ideas. Your inventory has me inventorying.
I don’t think this is what you’re looking for - square hole, not threaded.
I’m still away, but I had a more recent photo.

Nope, dang it. Go figure. Thanks for posting. Consider the SK 1/2" x 9/16" yours regardless. I only have one other one and you're a lot closer to completing yours than I am mine. Think about the Crown exchange, too. I'm not anxious to have your two or to get rid of my two. I just completed an inventory after checking your inventory and it struck me that we each had complementary pairs as opposed to dupes, which doesn't happen too often.

Speaking of inventory. Messiness has been getting out of hand down in the Lugzsonian, I did a little re-organizing this morning, sorting all my kit type wrenches.
The tin on the left is Complete or Partial Sets. The tin on the right is Extras and Orphans.

I'm going to split this up in two posts, one for NEEDS (to complete Partial Sets) and one for EXTRAS (available in trade).
NEEDS:
- Aetna - 5/8" x (3/8-24) x 3/4"
- J.P. Danielson VANADIUM Auto-Kit combo wrench with "batman" logo - 1/2" (box) x 9/16" (open)
- NEW BRITAIN flat shank offset DBE - No. 752 9/16" x 1/2"
- NEW BRITAIN flat shank offset DBE - No. 751 7/16" x 3/8"
- Script Indestro DOE - 7/16" x 3/8"
- Script Indestro DOE - 5/16" x 1/4"
- Ronson - 11/16" x 3/8"
Photos below of Partial Sets for positive visual ID of type, style, etc.
(A note on the Ronson set and why I need one for those who look and see that I have four (4) non-duplicate wrenches, and it was a 4-pc set. Something I don't think has come up before. If you look closer, you'll see I have two different 'top' wrenches in the stack. One of them is the one we're all familiar with. It has a 1/4" open end, a 1/4” square opening, and a 1/2” open end, with the Art Metal Works branding, the PAT No 942998 marking, etc. The other "top" wrench is similar, but it has a 3/16” square openingm and it's marked that way. Maybe for a different, later set. I plan to look into that, but haven't yet.)

Would it be correct to assume from that statement that as was the case with Indestro, both the "Aetna" and "Crown" stamped open-end wrenches came in two different iterations: square hole for the purpose of using the wrench as a "T-handle" for a tap, and triangular/oblong hole designed for use as a thread chaser?
The 3/16" punch-out on the small Ronson is a new one - I have never seen that before on any Ronson. The small wrench is usually the 1/4" square punch-out (for the "Presto-Lite" lamps) and that size is more often that not cracked at that point.
