Both examples of the parallelogram design. The first was patented in 1922 by Fredric Roberts and manufactured by the Hoe Corporation of Poughkeepsie; 14" version, clearly marked and very clean, noting that the end of the handle has been heated and twisted 90 degrees, presumably to give the user more leverage. The second was patented by John Boulieu in 1910 and manufactured by the Lake Superior Wrench Co. of Sault Ste Marie; early type marked "patent pending" and without the spring to close the jaws; 10". From the collection of Cecil Holmes. Good+ 100-200B66-5311970-01-01T00:00:00+01:001970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00/auction/list-auctions/viewbids/14776/b66-531B66-531 SELF-ADJUSTING PIPE WRENCH.

Appl'd For" and we're not familiar with it. 10" long, self-adjusting jaws that close as the wrench is rotated; in this case a hook on the handle forces the jaws closed.
