I cleaned up an old wrench for my Grandson. He has it temporarily in his tool bag until he gets it hung up.
This is incredible. I didn’t realize the work you have put into the “List”. I did find the following:

Amazing thanks. We had a Cockshutt dealer when I was a kid so this makes sense. Didn't realize the letter was a G and not a C.
During the 1930s many met the end of their farming careers. My Grandpa told the story that he shipped hogs to Eastern Canada and the shipping bill was more than he got for the hogs.Well, that is an interesting find, and thank you for posting it.
I thought that wrench should look vaguely familiar! We still have a Cockshutt Plough made in Ontario here on the farm. I remember it was was in use until the 1970's, but it's retired as our 'yard art' now, and also a memorial. It arrived here as Lend-Lease in the early 1940's and helped to save us from starvation.

So your family was one of the resilient ones that made it through. I don’t remember the phrase lend/lease system but I do remember the adults saying buying something on time. Probably the same thing. I have a quarter of farm land I purchased from my Grandparents that was previously owned by an insurance company. So likely was a purchase made for peanuts during the 30s.I'm in Hertfordshire, UK.
So that wrench could also be called the Bonney Bunny. Wait till Elmer hears about this.I see the OP"s wrench was found.
Seems there is a wrench for everything, made by someone.

If I found one of those at auction I’d be interested if the price was right. I’d hand it near my Gray Gator wrench.
After I read your post I have to admit I really didn’t look at the enclosure Lend/Lease but something just was missing. Especially once I found you were from the UK.Well, that is an interesting find, and thank you for posting it.

I'm disinclined to go out in the yard and photograph mine today as it's blowing a 50mph North wind and rain, but here's a picture of an identical plough that was sold recently. Mine is even more rusty, but does have some traces of orange paint!
As your Grandparents experienced the early 1930's depression hit farming hard, and in the UK we suffered from cheap imports of grain from Australia and the Canadian Praries and lots of farms here became uneconomic and derelect. My Grandparents held on by keeping dairy cows and hens for eggs and selling directly by delivering around a local town.
When WW2 started here in 1939 the British food production was on it's knees, and the Nazi U boats stopped the imports of food across the Atlantic, so having this modern equipment sent over in the convoys was a tremendous help to us.
It's just as likely of course that your Grandson's wrench was originally with a hay rake or any other machine,
Maybe the people on the website link below would know more about your wrench, or maybe your Grandson could have a look at it? There's no telling what interest you may spark off in a young man!

d colour.If I see one I'll send you the link.My Grandson is in town for the holidays. I showed him your wrench collection. He said he would like the third one from the top. So I will be watching the on line auctions.
Great. Thanks.
I have two sizes of those, made by Eberhard Manufacturing Company of Cleveland Ohio. So are these S-wrenches (which I dub “cravat” wrenches).My Grandson […] would like the third one from the top. So I will be watching the on line auctions.
Okay thanks let us just see how that all checks out. Thanks
They currently seem focused on belted drive components.
@LesserSon Received wrench shipment today.They currently seem focused on belted drive components.

But after 150 years in Chambersburg PA, seems they still can make just about anything of gray- or ductile- iron. I have no doubt they made this 5/16” fixed socket wrench.
Just happens my Grandkids are coming in for weekender with us starting tomorrow. He’ll love going through your tools as he gets any duplicates we find. At an online auction I purchased an old drawer tool box with some items included. I’m going to check if the young fellow is interested in a tool box refurb. I’m betting that the new colour scheme will have his favourite colour orange 
He is using mine. A couple of Ty wraps and he was good to go. On my garage thread it shows him staining up the handle mounts on a periscope we made. So we didn’t want him messing up his clothes. We are on the lookout for some type of shop apron for him. Maybe I could try my hand at making him one out of some denim. Good idea. I really need another project.
