Manufactured by A. G. Coes & Co. - Worcester MA

The patent is for a threaded collar that attaches the ferule to the wrench shank, and "flanges" on the interior of the ferule for the collar to bear on. See also patent 180,417. The "jog" on the back side of the bar shown in the drawings is not mentioned in the specifications, having evolved from an earlier Richard patent (RE4,450) . This style A.G. Coes & Co. wrench is shown in an 1877 Duyckinck (New York) catalog. The patent also factored in the complicated "COLLINS v. COES" patent litigation.

Manufactured by Elgin Tool & Socket Co. - Elgin IL

Adjustable alligator wrench with one fixed and one moveable jaw. Probably the commonest of the adjustable alligator wrenches. Extant examples have solid handles rather than the open loop handle shown in the patent drawings, and the earliest hardware trade announcements. Most extant examples have handle modifications that go with Smith & Frenk's January 9, 1906 die holder attachment (Pat. No. 809,755). Late production includes mark for patent date May 20, 1913 which refers to patent no.1,062,047. The W&B BULL TERRIER (pat. no. 670,681) and Charles Bonney's patent (no. 728,842) were also-ran competitors.
