JayG Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I have a Nash #2 open end wrench. A common wrench but this one is different. See the pics and let me know if anyone has any insight as to what may have happened. Has anyone ever seen another like it? I've had this for years and never noticed until someone pointed it out to me at Dragone's meet last week. Funny how the eyes and mind play tricks on you.

sagefinds Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 They must have set the forge up first thing Monday morning or last thing Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roysboystoys Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I've had several " Nash" wrenches. So long ago I forgot the story, but most aren't for Nash autos. Some type of machine tool I think.

JayG Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Either way it’s messed up. I would think this is from a mold so how would it happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 A die maker with little experience could do this. Distractions and not paying attention, so don't ask how I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthcranbrook Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) You have to wonder how many they made that way before someone said What the H*** is this. Edited June 16, 2022 by plymouthcranbrook (see edit history) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
