B63-210. ADJUSTABLE WRENCH. Lowe Patent. Patented in 1894 by James Lowe and manufactured by Billings & Spencer. A sliding wedge makes fine adjustments to the jaw opening.

B&S manufactured this thing in a 5" pocket size, but it never caught on. This one is clean and clearly marked and almost rust free, but the catch designed to hold the lever closed for carrying isn't working. Good+ 100-200
