Kind of an odd duck

I forgot I had this.
If it aint broke----fix it till it is-----there's nothing more permanent than a temporary fix.

Great old wrenches Chuck!  The classic tapered beam was always very appealing to me

Thanks Ray.
What I see as unusual are the sizes-----9/16" and  7/16".

Are you referring to 7/16 being paired with 9/16 or different standard then SAE?

I personally like the 1/2" x 9/16" combo, but having the ends two sizes off makes it easier to distinguish in a tool tray. 

Much more helpful with metric wrenches! ;D
