107518 "sushandel" <sushandel@m...> 2002‑06‑23 Re: Brace maker id
Steve,
    The EAIA DAT doesn't give a location or dates for this maker, noting
that W. & C. Wynn made "Augers, Dividers, Household Tools, Leather Tools,
Pliers and Wrenches."  While they supposedly made a patent wrench, Cope's
wrench book doesn't list them.  The DAT listing (based on 2 tools seen and 5
secondary sources) further suggests that an auger reported may have been a
cheese tester; and that the company apparently made shoe pliers and lasts,
as well as bed keys.

    Best regards,
    Sandy
