This year's auction consists mainly of wrenches from the collections of Don Ervin and the estate of Tim Stulp plus a couple hundred farm wrenches from P. T. Rathbone This is the second to last of several auctions we have had for Don Ervin and the first for Tim's. Both of the remainder of Don's and Tim's collections will be auctioned at the fall Missouri Valley Wrench Meet in Shipshewana, Indiana

Don Ervin has been collecting wrenches for around thirty five years and attended most of the major wrench meets and auctions during that time and amassed a large collection of rare and unique wrenches. He is also an accomplished machinist and restorer. He has made from scratch several wrenches that aren't know to have been made using the patent drawings This is one of several auctions we have had for Don as he continues to down size his extensive collection. Many of Don's wrenches came from the collection of Herb Page which Don acquired several years ago and are so noted in the descriptions.

The following tribute to Tim was written by Don Ervin:
Tim passed away in Yuma Colorado on March 23, 2023., which was a Great loss to Cindy, his wife and ranch partner, as well as MVWC club members, family, and friends.

Tim collected primarily farm type wrenches, and had a top notch collection of buggy wrenches, and I collected adjustable wrenches. I had lined up two auctions, and in discussion with Cindy Stulp in early 2025. We decided to add Tim's wrenches to the auctions since there is very little duplication. adding much value and interest to the auctions. I picked up Tim's tools in Colorado in April and July of 2025 and took them to Maine to clean, sort, tag, photograph and describe them. Bus Haury edited the photos and complied both the web and printed catalogs.

Tim was a very active member of the MVWC, and attended most of the meets and auctions. He was an active bidder, and a tough negotiator. He had a lot of knowledge, had a great sense of humor, and often grabbed the check in bars and restaurants! Tim was also the leader and prime mover of the "Yuma Old Threshers" organization. He openly bragged about his dear wife, Cindy, who stayed home to run the ranch when he travelled to meets.

Tim was the "ring leader" of a group of collectors, and close friends with all the members, and especially with his Yuma neighbor and travelling companion, Mike Meis, as well as Les Williams, Dan Chopiak, and Don Ervin and many others.

A WORD ON CONDITION: Since I couldn't actually hold the wrenches in my hands (Don Ervin took the photos in Maine) I couldn't rate the degree of damage as I have done in the past but hopefully any major defects have been noted and we also have larger individual photos uploaded for the internet auction. Both Herb Page (many of Don's wrenches come from Herb's collection he purchased several years ago) and Don Ervin are experts at restoring old wrenches and so most of Don's wrenches in this auction have been restored including if needed: mechanism repaired, sprung jaws aligned, new handles made and metal parts refinished.

Other info:
* Measurements are usually rounded off to the nearest 1/4".
* The markings on the wrenches are in all capital letters.
* a / separates markings on one side of the wrench from the other side.
* If a wrench is misnumbered in a photo the description number will prevail. Some of the ID tags on the photos have been corrected in the text catalog description.
* To search for a particular wrench or company (for example IHC. Deere. Coes. adjust etc.) use the find on this page in the edit menu. I have tried to list the company or companies associated with each wrench.
