Don Ervin of Surrey, Maine has been collecting wrenches for almost twenty years and attended most of the major wrench meets and auctions during that time and amassed a large collection of rare and unique wrenches, both adjustable and farm implement types.
Among the nearly 2000 wrenches in this auction are rare and interesting wrenches from all the different categories of antique wrenches with examples for the most advanced collectors to those just starting to collect.
Included in this first of two sales are rare cutout wrenches including: Zenith, Bradley's Wonder, Ames, and a very rare Deere variant with two hammer polls. There are a large number of other John Deere wrenches including: a King Corn Silo and both large and small letter Dains plus examples from almost all the other farm implements manufactures, plus over Seventy buggy and wagon wrenches including a No. 1 Oliver and a Kinsman and Merrill patented combination adjustable wagon wrench with an oiler. Especially well represented are examples of quick adjusting type wrenches and combination type wrench/tools and by far the largest collection of "enhanced" Crescent type wrenches that we have had the opportunity to catalog. Other categories include; a large number of H. D. Smith Perfect Handle wrenches and tools, many "double-enders" including Baxters, Crescents, etc., a large selection of automotive wrenches, many ratchet wrenches including a "one off" Bemis and Call monkey wrench and ratchet prototype, A nice selection of adjustable alligator wrenches including a very scarce Whitman and Barnes, and several impressive looking foreign made wrenches.
