Northfield Allen wrench

[Teenager with old tools]

Got at a yard sale. Never seen one like it. Its stamped Northfield on both sides. Anyone seen one before?

Northfield is one of the very best American manufacturers of band saws and industrial woodworking equipment. They have been around forever, and still make the best stuff (though well beyond hobbyist budgets).

I don't know for sure, but there's a decent chance your wrench was a specialty tool for one of their machines.

The guys on owwm.org who collect Northfield may know more. (Of course, I could be wrong and it may be a different Northfield).

Purely guessing but I agree with catalytic that it was probably made to use with a machine they make for adjustments
