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
