Speednut Wrench from 1916.

Unlike a Cresent wrench, it self adjusts;

That's cool.

Interesting.

I recently learned that early fords came with a stamped steel socket set.

That's pretty cool, too. I always thought sockets were much more modern than that.

I found some history on the company at Vintage Tools & Various Hand Tool Makers [Page 1]

I saw an old 1924 Dodge at a cruise once and it came with an oil can under the hood that looked like the one the tin man had in the Wizard of Oz...

Pretty cool...

It also seems to self adjust to tighten up as you crank on it, as opposed to a Cresent wrench which only tightens up to the point of where if it slips it breaks your knuckles open
