Detailed description

A solid early 20th century adjustable monkey wrench marked “9 IN AUTO” with a small “1” stamped near the handle end. This is a good honest old tool with working adjustment, dark preserved patina, and the kind of straightforward industrial look that works equally well in a collection, shop display, or light-use tool roll.
