Description

A shoemaker's wrench which consists of a rectangular metal blade 29/32" high with a square cut-out 17/32" x 17/32". The cut-out is not perfectly aligned so the widths of the metal varies. The blade tapers into the tang and is set into a wooden handle. The handle grows in diameter as it nears the end, has a circular cross-section, and ends in a flat butt. The handle has a scribe line 15/16" from the end.
