Antique Herbrand Wrench Open-End Fremont Ohio Auto Truck Industrial War Time WW2 The first thing you might notice, no markings that indicate size. But that 34A does as it’s an old standard evolved from the more-or-less sequential model numbers assigned by J.H. Williams & Company. Now thanks to that most awesome resource Alloy Artifacts.org I have now learned this, thus proving every day I list something on eBay I learn some crazy factoid. If you go to their website you can find a chart so you can decipher that enigmatic number. Problem is there’s a 34 but no 34A. 34 = 7/8″ x 1-1/16″ My calipers measure 1-1/16″ but what should be 7/8″ measures closer to 15/16″? Now look you won’t be wrenching on anything with this wrench, Nah, it a collectable and you’re going to collect it. Is it really WW 2 era? Yes it’s quite likely based on the rough finish which was common during the war, am I 100% postive, No. And now a brief history lesson courtesy of the aforementioned website. The Herbrand Company was founded in 1881 in Fremont, Ohio by Jacob Herbrand, Charles Thompson, and J.B. Van Doren. The company’s early products included drop forgings for vehicle springs and suspension systems, and some of the company’s products were based on patents by Jacob Herbrand. At least one Herbrand patent is known to have been assigned to the Herbrand Company. Charles Thompson was a native of Fremont who had previously worked in the hardware business, and he was later joined at Herbrand by his son Creighton Fuller (CF) Thompson. Information on the founding of the company was found in a 1909 History of Sandusky County, OH, as shown in the excerpt at the left. This source notes that by 1909 (the publication date) Herbrand’s products included carriage hardware, bicycle and automobile wrenches, and safety razors. By that time Charles Thompson had become president and general manager of the company. Further information on Charles Thompson can be found in the book A History of Northwest Ohio. Now a wee bit more history and we’re done. By the 1960s the increasing competition in the tool industry had made it difficult to remain independent, and in 1961 Herbrand was acquired by the Kelsey-Hayes Corporation, an industrial manufacturer. Kelsey-Hayes had previously acquired Utica Tools in 1956, and Herbrand became part of their Utica Tools Division. The parent company built a huge new factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina for the combined Utica-Herbrand manufacturing operations, and by 1962 Utica and Herbrand had relocated to Spartanburg. A further acquisition in 1964 added Bonney Forge and Tool to the Utica Tools Division. In 1967 the Utica Tools Division was acquired from Kelsey-Hayes by the Triangle Corporation. Initially all three tool brands remained in production under Triangle, and tools made during this era were marked with a small triangle symbol. Triangle was eventually acquired by Cooper Industries, and at some point the Herbrand line was discontinued.
