| Description: |  | Moore's combination axle nut wrench and oiler was the subject of an article by Ron Pearson in the June 1991 "Gristmill." The tool is marked with the 1874 patent date, but the spring and and position of the control wire for the oiler more closely resemble Moore's Sept. 13, 1898 patent (no. 610,553). |  |
