Mac wrench or not?

[Mr.N]

Found this gem at a local thrift shop for $0.50

Now is it a genuine mac wrench?

It says "7/16 MAC CH14 7/16"

I think I have one just like it, worth 50 cents for sure.

Why do you think it isn't a Mac wrench?

Looks like a Mac to me.....

Counterfeiting mac wrenches so they can be sold at thrift stores for 50 cents, what a brilliant way to become a millionaire!

A Google image search could have prevented the need for this thread.

For sure a Mac!

Greatpoint, I should have pointed out that the font was different, here's a better picture to show that it is a different font.

With this different font, is it a Mac? If it is a Mac, have guess one year?

Did I hear someone say retirement party?

It’s 100% authentic Mac. Just an older one. Just a rough guess but maybe 1950s.
Good deal.

I have some Mac wrenches like the OP's. Any chance they were made by Cornwell?

Co0rnwell is in Wadsworth "Ahia" and Mac was from Sabina, "ahia" not sure about the connection but stranger things have happened op.


Here another old post of mine knock yourself out comparing the two brands together.

This thread is kinda funny, a three choice poll to verify the authenticity of a 50cent junk shop MAC wrench. I'm not sure what the op will do with the data this thread generates for him but each to their own I guess.
