I don't know a lot about that Prince wrench but I picked one up in a box of tools earlier this year too. What I can tell you is that your Prince is missing part of his accoutrement. Here is a picture of a complete Prince. I am also missing the half brace knob that belongs on there. I found the pic online somewhere and borrowed it. Ed.

It's a multi-tool and the crank handle is missing. Here is an eBay ad with some pics.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-The...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Thanks Guys. I knew that someone on here would know what it was. I had a "GUT" feeling when I bought it that something was missing because I just couldn't make it work like it was but it was so unique I had to have it. Now I guess I'll be searching for the missing pieces. Thanks again.

Prince was the inventor's first name. Full name Prince E. Shortt. Here is the DATAMP page, with basic data and links to patent images and text from there.
Thanks Pvt Lugnutz for the nice images. I'm still not sure if I could make it work even with all the parts. Maybe just hang it and someday might get lucky and find the other parts. At least I know what I got and what I need to make it complete.
