VISUAL DESCRIPTION

The image is a vintage advertisement featuring an illustration of a human hand holding a wrench. The text at the top reads "Matches the toughest job, " suggesting that the tool being advertised is reliable and strong enough to handle demanding tasks. The wrench itself has "GARRINGTON" inscribed on its side, indicating the brand name. Below the main illustration, additional text describes "THE 'MERLIN'" as a double-ended spanner (another term for wrench), highlighting its lightweight open jaw design and high-quality chrome vanadium finish. It boasts features such as polished jaws, thin head for tight spaces, and close limit nut clearance in all Whitworth and American sizes. At the bottom right corner of the ad is another logo or emblem with "GARRINGTON TOOLS" encased within what appears to be an industrial gear symbol. On the lower left side of this graphic advertisement are details about John Garrington & Sons Ltd. , including their location at Newton Works, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (Worcs. ), which provides insight into where these tools were manufactured or distributed from. Lastly, there's information pointing to where one could find them at an exhibition or fair: STAND D. 206 B. I. F. Castle Bromwich—indicating they had a presence at whatever event was taking place there (B. I. F might stand for British Industries Fair).
