CATALOG OF WRENCHES FOR THE AUCTION OF
THE ANTIQUE WRENCH COLLECTION
OF ED AND JUDY FRIEDMAN, DANVILLE, KENTUCKY
FRIDAY, APRIL 7, SATURDAY APRIL 8, and Sunday April 9, 2006

The Wrenching News is honored to present this catalog of the antique wrench collection of Ed and Judy Friedman of Danville, Kentucky. This auction has over 1500 antique wrenches and tools plus several agricultural related advertising pieces. This is a fantastic diverse wrench collection with rare and unlisted examples of wrenches in most all of the farm and adjustable wrench categories.

It is especially strong in several of the most desirable categories, for example:: bicycle and pocket adjustable wrenches with well over a hundred examples; cutouts including a Casaday, Zenith, IHC, Ames, Osborne, and an ultra rare C & J. and more; H. D. Smith Perfect Handle wrenches and other tools one of the largest selections ever offered for sale at one time (including some that haven't surfaced before); knife-tools, (more than ever offered at a York auction before including several rare examples); rare and not so rare examples from both the well known and more obscure farm equipment manufactures including several rare John Deere, Syracuse, Robinson Chilled Plow, International Harvester, etc., etc; several farm company marked wood handled monkey wrenches including a "one of a kind" L. Coes Toronto Mower & Reaper Co (Massy-Harris), a Linn tractor wrench form Morris, New York. Also many rare adjustables too numerous to list here (see catalog); and one Williams "Vulcan" Salesmen sample Pipe Vise. There are great wrenches in all classification for both advanced and beginning collectors.

Measurements are usually rounded off to the nearest 1/4".

All farm type wrenches are cast malleable iron unless noted otherwise

.

A word on condition: Because of the character of their use and storage wrench condition can hardly be judged to the same standards as other tools. So rather than using a ten level grading scale which I don't have the time, skills, or inclination to do (especially in an auction with nearly 1500 items). I have tried to note all faults such as missing parts, cracks, pitting, over cleaning, repairs, etc. Likewise the wrenches in this auction that are in exceptional fine or excellent condition have been so noted, even a common wrench that as survived the years in almost unused condition is a rarity. This leaves the wrenches listed with no mention of condition which covers all those that are in good to good plus collectible condition, a wrench that can be owned or sold with no apologies. The farm wrenches that have been painted in this collection have been so noted. The painting for the most part has been well done and attractive and could be easily removed if it doesn't suit the new owner's taste.

To search for a particular wrench or company (for example IHC, Deere, Coes, adj, etc,) use the find on this page in the edit menu. I have tried to list the company or companies associated with each wrench.

The links below can be used to view several groups of pictures on one page in one window while reading the descriptions in another. They are also useful if you want to print all or several picture groups. Those with slow connections may have to refresh the page several times.
