Why is it rare? Any markings?

Hi Larry, and welcome to the site!

On another post you said:

Hey, can any one help me identify this wrench? It is a 13/16 box end wrench.The only markings on it are a number 7 and a diamond shape, with a capital R inside the diamond.To me it looks like an old lug wrench, that probably came with a vehicle.I have been searching online and can't find another one like it.Maybe cause I don't know the correct name of what type of wrench it exactly is.I would like to find out how old it is, where it was made, and by whom.Ill try and attach a couple of photos of I can figure out how.Anyways if any one could help I would be very thankful. Thanks.Larry.

Interesting wrench. Could you take a close up of the 7 and the R in the diamond?

Here I brightened up your photo a bit:

yes indeed larry please take out your camera and take more pictures of that trade mark ( the diamond with the R in the middle of it). As a matter of fact the more pictures you take the better!

Very interesting wrench you have there...

I also need some close up pictures of the handle to the wrench beam; not sure if factory job or somebody did a hack job on it ?

Daft suggestion, is this actually a wrench, or could it be some sort of removable handle to fit a hexagonal shaft? Obviously a quality piece!

Kinda what I was thinking

I'm wondering if it is at wrench for something like a lathe, mill, etc...

Some sort of machinery wrench would be my guess also.
