Description: Patent dates from 1908 and 1910. Wrench is approximately 9-1/4" in length. Teeth are a little beat up. Wrench mouth opens and closes with relative ease but does stick at bit. Some background on the company: "The Standard Wrench & Tool Company was a drop-forge operator in Providence, Rhode Island and is best known as the maker of FITZALL wedge-adjusting nut and pipe wrenches. The dates of operation for the company are a bit uncertain, but it appears to have operated only briefly, from around 1911 to late 1913. The last picture shows an advertisement illustrating the Rogers Printz wedge-adjusting pipe wrench, as published on page 74 of the August, 1910 issue of Southern Machinery. At this time the wrench shown in the illustration would have been made by Union Manufacturing and Drop Forging. Some time later (probably early 1911) Union Manufacturing fell into bankruptcy, and its estate (including the Rogers Printz contract) was purchased by Standard Wrench & Tool. Having become the contract manufacturer of the FITZALL wrenches by succession, Standard Wrench & Tool apparently thought the tools presented a good business opportunity, and went on to acquire the wrench business from Rogers Printz
