Ah, the dangers of guessing tool sizes:  the teeny wrench that I
remembered turned out to be 6" long, just a bit shorter than the much
heftier Coe's wrench.   The skinny handle (no wood) fooled me, I
guess.   Turned out to be a Stillson Walworth pipe wrench, with the
original red paint still in the recesses of the plain steel handle.

The fact that this tiny thing is actually 6" long is a good way to
show just how small (and rare!) 3" and 4" wrenches are.
