The Ford Barn - View Single Post - curved-handle adjustable wrenches (not 'A')

Some of the old wrenches had curly cues and aesthetic decorations on them and built into them. The curved wrenches maybe are just an aesthetic thing? If you'll look at some of the old old farm equipment, there's a lot of detail that is only for looks. The webbing in belt pulleys or steel wheels is sometimes an example of this. I'm just speculating, but it is an interesting subject.
