Hello all,
There's a long and tedious story behind this, and it's not even a funny one (unless you know the chap involved).
I need a large Whitworth spanner.
I'm not fussed at all as to the actual size, it just has to be *large*. No, *LARGE*. And Whitworth. That's important too.
Anyone got one cluttering up their toolbox, that they'd be prepared to part with for a relatively small number of beer tokens?
I'm more than happy (obviously) to collect (if possible), or pay postage and packing.
Cheers
Ring or open end?

Not fussy mate! (But you knew that...).
It's a joke present for a mate.
How about
ebay item 7566303705
He seems to have a few of these, shouldn't think it will go for much more than the start price.
Some of us still pay good money for Whit spanners :-(

Especially big ones - we still use them.

Thanks Tim, that was perfect! (Why didn't I think of Ebay?).
A friend has bought it, and the gag is now fully set up.
When you say 'big'..how big...and how much do they go for generally?
I only ask because I often see these things at the local tip, nestling in old, rusty toolboxes. Not having any use for them myself I tend to pass them by, but if people are prepared to stump up beer tokens for them I might start salvaging them.
Regards,
