Let's see those antique Stillson's!

Picked up this beautiful Stillson/pipe wrench at a local antique store the other day. I love it. From the little research I've been able to find, the particular brand was discontinued by the company in 1911.

Nice find, the jaws still look very good. Hard to beat old time quality.

Not sure I understand what you mean by the last sentence.

The Stillson brand? The Walworth brand? The wood handle?

The Stillson wrench was patented by Daniel K. Stillson, an employee of Walworth Manufacturing Co. Walworth was in business and using the Stillson name long beyond 1911 (at least until the 1950s or longer). Other companies paid licensing fees or royalties to use the Stillson design. Wood handles tended to be used only on wrench sizes smaller than 14" but were available long past 1911. 1921 and 1929 catalong images (poor photo images, no scanner available):

I got 3. One has diamond markings on body, one diamond on top jaw and body, one printing only on body. All three are 8"

I did not know they stopped making them in 1911, at least from time to time I see them so they must have made a boat load of them.
