Good/VG antique condition with minor -to- moderate overall wear (small dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, stains, etc.) throughout from normal use over the years but NO breaks or repairs. Fully functional tool. Twist handle adjust function works great - spins smooth and holds tight at any chosen point along the entire 1-11/16" range. Lightly cleaned using wire-wheel, so virtually zero rust but revealed minor -to- moderate pitting throughout. Original wood handle remains solid, strong and features rich patina. All-in-all, a killer example of a very scarce monkey wrench!! See pics.
