Description:
The pair of toothed jaws and their connecting thumb screws convert a "monkey wrench" into a pipe wrench.

Marketed as the "Yankee Pipe Jaws" by a succession of manufacturers, including WILCOX in 1901, followed by RICHARDS-WILCOX after those companies merged, and BOW MFG. in 1914.

Some known examples are marked with the patent date.

Note also D.R.G.M. DG-144155 which appears to be a corresponding German patent.
