Wrench? For What?

[gitterdug]

OK, here is some kind of wrench I think. Came from around an old fort area. I swear I have seen one before. Could date as far back as 1850 or so, up to about 1960. It is Brass. Hep me Hep me!

I do not know what u have there, but Iwill comment on your pictures ,and the time it took u to measure everything, "Thats a great effort." If it is brass, no sparks, no boom, no clue sorry................

Shoot, it was on 1/4 inch graph paper, so I counted squares. Besides, if I didn't do that, someone would have said " Hard to tell what size it is since you didn't include measurements"....or something to that effect, so I was being pre-emptive. But thanks regardless......

I think what you have is the deadbolt from an old mortise lock.

It does look sorts like a dead bolt, but it is aweful short

3/4 leaves 5/8 throw.

Deadbolt projection
Grade Projection
Grade 1 1 inch
Grade 2 5/8 inch
Grade 3 5/8 inch

In most cases, the latch bolt has a length of 3/4 inch (about 19 mm

Lock Complete mortise lockset that will replace Papaiz 322 and Emtek 322. Fits aluminum, steel, or wood doors from 1" to 1-5/8" thick, double latch deadbolt with 5/8" throw.

Possible 1/2 of a interlocking buckle. Does the end marked 1 1/2" have a slot for a strap?

I agree with folks here, from the start, it looks too lean to be a wrench, more like part of a buckle or a lock or a part from a machine.

To me it looks like an older Gas line shutoff knock wrench.Brass,so it wouldn't spark,thick end to open and close with a hammer.

Without a doubt it is the deadbolt from an old mortice lock with a 2-3/4" backset. taz420 nailed it.
