Tool Detail
Vintage 14” Pipe Wrench
Made in USA, Red Handle Panel, Stillson Style Adjustable Wrench

Description (updated)
Vintage 14” Stillson-style pipe wrench, Made in USA. Original red paint in the handle panel and jaw boss, with a smooth, positive-feeling adjuster and sharp teeth ready for another few decades of work.
This wrench got a light preservation cleanup only – no grinding, no repaint. Loose rust and grime were brushed off, the metal was treated with oil and paste wax, and the adjuster/rack were cleaned and lubricated. It still has honest shop patina and that classic red stripe, not a modern “restored” repaint.
Based on style, markings, and construction, it’s from the mid-20th century (exact date unknown).
