Big old fire hydrant wrench

Found this at yard sale today for $5. 5/8 thick steel. Heavy. But is it antique? Found one that sold on Ebay as antique...

You must determine what it is to find out if it is an antique. What brand make and model. Then you can trace it back. Right now it's just an unidentified wrench. Doesn't need to be antique to be valuable. Might be rare or useful or hard to come by. Research!

Looks almost homemade. No identifying marks? Can't imagine a company wouldn't put their name on it, even if it is antique.

Here is the exact same tool. I see a faint stamp with an S inside a semi-circle on mine... Antique Fire Hydrant Valve Wrench 24" Fireman Fire Fighter | eBay

P.S. I use this sight as a research tool. The good people up here don't seem to mind...

Yes it does. No marks except mentioned above. It has an almost unfinished but used as is look....
