Great Expectations Antiques

Circa: 1920's-30's
Condition: Good++
Manufacturer: BEMIS & CALL H & T CO. SPRINGFIELD MASS.
This is a nice clean combination wrench for either bolt/nut or pipe work. This wrench is sometimes referred to as the "BABY PARROT" since it is the smallest of this type and brand and looks, sort of like a Parrot head.
This one is a very rare size, only 8.5" long overall!  We have not offered this small size at our store in the past 20 years!  Very rare in this nice of condition!  The maker's mark and logo are very small, so a few small dings in the mark area blot out some of the maker's mark, which should read "BEMIS & CALL H & T CO. SPRINGFIELD MASS.", but all the we can read is "BE..........H $ T CO. S............ MASS U.S.A.". It measures 8.5" long overall. The condition of the wrench is good++ with a few minor dings, very clean, no rust, not bent or cracked, it has a nice solid hardwood handle. The jaw (is spring loaded like most pipe wrenches, aligns and adjusts nicely, and is very snug fitting, one of the nicest I've had! A good looking collectible wrench overall!
