There are a lot of "T" shaped wrenches, "L" shaped wrenches and even a few "Y" wrenches but I think this is the only "H" shaped collectible wrench (with an attached pitman tool to boot). Old Case Parts Books list this wrench for their mowers. A different looking wrench that shows no sign of ever being used. Would add variety to your collection of old wrenches hanging on the wall. Or find another one, buy 22 hamsters or other small rodents, train them to play football on a miniature field using the wrenches as goal posts, exhibit them at county fairs, gas and steam engine shows, and antique wrench meets, appear on TV on Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks and get a date with the grinder girl. All because you bought this wrench.
