Rare And Vintage Blue-point Supreme S-2428 Open End Wrench 7/8" & 3/4", Usa 1939 on 2040-parts.com
Candler, North Carolina, US
This is a pre-WWII vintage Blue-Point Supreme, Open End Wrench (7/8" by 3/4"), model S2428. This wrench appears to be more rare and desirable than others because it represents one of Blue-Point's earliest efforts. The stylized date code "-9" refers to a production date of 1939, which was also the last year Blue-Point wrenches appeared without "U.S.A." or "Made in the U.S.A." stamped on the body of the tool. This explains why U.S.A. does not appear on this particular wrench. Despite being collectible, this wrench is sturdy and accurate enough for daily use. The wrench is in very good condition and ready to be put to work. It measures 9 1/8" long. Please take a moment and view the other wrenches and tools I have listed on eBay. I'm happy to combine shipping costs to lower the overall cost to the buyer.
I have made no attempt to clean or refurbish this item; it is being offered in “as found” condition. Please examine the pictures carefully and ask any questions you might have prior to bidding. Additional pictures or information is available, if necessary. This is being offered with No Reserve and with a Low Opening Bid. Thank you for looking.
