HELP! What is this?

[Gold007]

I found this right next to a tree in the woods. It was about an inch or 2 down. To me it looks like an old wrench. I could be wrong. Any body know what exactly this is? If it is a wrench... I have never seen a wrench like this.

Looks like a torch wrench, used on the fittings on a cutting torch. Evidently lost by a "shadetree mechanic".

A torch to cut steel?

Multi wrench used on Chainsaws...

Cast iron wrenches like that came along with the purchase of farm equipment and old cars. Buggy wrenches were a bit different, because they usually included a fitting for the hub nut. I'd say it dates to pre 1930's.

It's not pre- 30's but more 60's or newer . These were very common as part of tool set for many things or even sold in a repair travel kit for bikes . It's multi fit for different nuts , just like a spoke wrench has different size spokes IMHO ... Woodstock
