Description: |
| The "sleeve" forming most of the handle is a major component of the patent. The wrench is a "bicycle" or pocket wrench with smooth edges so as to not snag clothing. This wrench was distributed by several early motorcyle manufacturers, and examples marked "INDIAN MOTOCYCLES" or "FLYING MERKEL" in addition to the normal manufacturer's markings can be prized collectibles. |
