Williams Wrench Rare?

[eagle815]

I have this Williams Superrench with the Ribbed Shank. I think they made the ribbed type from 1952 - 1959. The model number stamped on it is 1731A. It's an open end 7/8" X 3/4". I've searched far and wide, found several 1731A's, but no 7/8" X 3/4" with the ribbed shank. Do I have a one of a kind? Has anyone seen one of these before?

There's one on Ebay right now. That's an old style they made.

Thanks for the reply 3baygarage, but I don't see one like this on ebay anywhere. In fact, they don't even show a 7/8" X 3/4" 1731A in the ribbed style on the Alloy Artifacts site. I'll try to get an image of it on this thread.

Alloy Artifacts doesn't cover every size of wrench but usually just lists some examples.

Here's the one on Ebay, it has an A prefix so its actually A1731A :

Here's one pic to go with 3bay's link.

I didn't see that one, thanks. Mine only has the A behind the numbers though.

Oh my gosh I must have found a super rare (No. A) wrench now I can sell it for tons of cash on E-bay... Or not.

Oh if it were only that easy sigh

Dang Woody, you're harsh.....(pssssst, I probably have 20 or so of those in my wrench bins). Ok, ok, that's a "man" 20, so I likely have 10

 

[eagle815]

But still, no one has shown me a pic of a 1731A, with a ribbed shank???
