| Description: |  | The patent covers a screw-adjust nut wrench with the bulk of the the adjustable jaw, the adjusting worm, and rack on one side of the shank. The back side of the adjustable jaw is very thin, so one side of the wrench is nearly flat. 
Known examples include "Made Exclusively For Pope Mfg. Co." on the back side of the fixed jaw and "Billings Patent Jan. 15th 1895" on the handle. Pope Mfg. made bicycles, and later motorcycles. |  |
