Detailed description
Vintage Vlchek adjustable auto wrench marked DROP FORGED / VLCHEK, MADE IN USA, 15 AUTO, and also stamped 10 on the handle end. This is a 15 inch wrench overall. The meaning of the 10 stamp is unknown, so I am presenting it only as a visible maker/applied marking rather than assigning it a specific function.
This wrench was given a light preservation cleanup only. It was dry cleaned, hand wiped, lightly oiled, and waxed to stabilize the surface and retain its aged look. I did not heavily grind, polish, repaint, or over-restore it. The goal was clean, stable, and honest rather than made to look new.
Condition is vintage used. It shows scattered pitting, oxidation staining, edge wear, and general signs of age and shop use visible in the photos. The markings remain readable, including the lower jaw stamp. Please review all photos carefully for the best condition reference.
A solid piece for garage, workshop, or industrial decor, and also a good fit for a vintage tool collection or light period-correct utility. A printed care sheet is included with all tools I sell.
Ships carefully packed with tracking.
