Description: |
Combination wrench and tire iron to loosen demountable rims from wheels, and remove the tire from the rim. The patented feature is the "bulge" with a wrench opening.
A known example of a JENKINS VULCAN SPRING CO. wrench / tire iron is marked with a patent date corresponding to another of the company's products.
It appears in late 1920's auto supply company catalogs as the JENKINS MODEL E WRENCH. Many of these tools appear as advertising specialties stamped with markings for local auto dealerships, tire dealers, repair shops, etc. |
