Description: |
| "My improvement is more especially designed as a carriage-wrench, and it may also be advantageously employed for holding a boring-bit or other tool; and it consists in the improved combination of a screw with the expanding jaws, and also in the combination therewith of a holding-shoe..."
An example sold at auction in 2005 for $1870. Keep in mind that prices will vary greatly with condition. Another known example marked "PAT PENDING" lacks the 'bit gripping shoe" attachments. |
