Manufactured by Ridge Tool Co. - Elyria OH

The wrench is identical to the patent drawing. Earliest ads for this style show "PAT. PEND"G" markings and malleable iron handles; example shown in 2nd image is marked "RIDGID PAT 1727623 // RIDGE TOOL CO ELYRIA O U.S.A." Ads from 1937 demonstrate a modified appearance introduced during that year -- additional material added to the fixed jaw resulted in a "chevron," and Dec. 1937 ad includes "alloy handle" in the description. The wrenches with this patent number have many features carried over from Thewes' Sept. 1, 1925 patent (no. 1,552,091).
