{"id":265,"count":2,"description":"The original makers of the Stillson patent wrench, Walworth made a range of plumbing tools. While Stillson apparently patented this particular type of pipe wrench, it appears that the name was used generically by Bonney Vise &amp; Tool Works, the Erie Tool Works, the Moore Drop Forging Co., the J.P. Danielson Co., and probably others. On dies, they used the brand name RUFF &amp; TUFF and alo MILLER'S PATENT, though the latter was possibly not until after 1900. It appears they made a 1907 Parmelee patent wrench and may have been succeeded by Parmelee Co.\r\n\r\nAmerica's most prolific turn of the century (1900) adjustable non-monkey wrench manufacturer.\r\n\r\nStillson (1826-1899), a mechanic at the Walworth Company, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, created the first such wrench. On October 12, 1869, U.S. patent #95,744 was issued to Stillson. On 17 August 1888, the Swedish inventor Johan Petter Johansson (1853-1943) took out his first patent on the adjustable pipe wrench.\r\n\r\nMore info at\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davistownmuseum.org\/bioWalworth.html\">https:\/\/www.davistownmuseum.org\/bioWalworth.html<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2019\/12\/06\/magazine\/forgotten-story-americas-most-famous-tool\/\">https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2019\/12\/06\/magazine\/forgotten-story-americas-most-famous-tool\/<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.antique-engine.ns.ca\/walworth.html\">http:\/\/www.antique-engine.ns.ca\/walworth.html<\/a>","link":"https:\/\/vinty.ca\/brand\/walworth-mfg-co\/","name":"Walworth Mfg Co","slug":"walworth-mfg-co","taxonomy":"pwb-brand","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinty.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand\/265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinty.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinty.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/pwb-brand"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/vinty.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?pwb-brand=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
