Vintage Baumo 14" Pipe Wrench, John W. Bauman & Sons, 1935 Patent, U.S.A.

Description

For auction is a Vintage Baumo 14" Pipe Wrench made by John W. Bauman & Sons Sassamansville, PA. USA.  This tool is marked with a Patent date of 4-23-35 (US Patent 1,999,076 John W. Baumann et al.).
This pre-owned pipe wrench is in good, collectible and fully functional condition.  There are marks and wear consistent with normal use.  The jaws are in good condition and the handle is straight with no evidence of cheater pipe use.  There is a small crack starting on the back side of the outer housing but it does not affect performance.  There is no excessive wear and there are no previous owner identification marks.
Most of the items I sell are from estate auctions, flea markets, etc.  I clean them as necessary to properly evaluate the condition and allow you to judge the actual item rather than a previous owner’s dirt.
I want to know if the typical dirt and grime and/or harmless surface rust is covering any damage.
My photos will always be the actual item for sale and I try to describe and show the condition as thoroughly as possible.
Please read my descriptions, examine all photos carefully and ask any questions before bidding.
