antique Coes monkey wrenches, vintage Billings railroad wrench W&OI RR 1800s patent

Pair of antique vintage Coes adjustable screw wrenches... the original monkey wrenches. A 12" L Coes wrench with a wooden handle and an 1800s patent date, and a 10 1/2" Billings wrench stamped W&O R.R (for Washington and Ohio Railroad, I think).

These wrenches have a patina of age. The older wrench has major checking / splitting to the wood of the handle and some mushrooming to the upper jaw from being pounded on to loosen stubborn bolts over the years.
