        Description: |  
| The focus of the patent is the body comprised of a shell and riveted side plate, and the combination of the interior parts. 
An ad in a business directory for 1881 lists Reed & Co., Higganum, Conn. as manufacturer of Hayden's patent wrench and an ice tongs he patented. Both used malleable cast iron parts.
A 1910 PECK, STOW & WILCOX catalog shows a 4-inch malleable iron HAYDEN"S POCKET WRENCH in three finishes. |
