There are 2 designs of the 5B series Billings wrenches. I will be home tomorrow and be able to send pics.

Hi Craig,

I found this post and guessing this is what you are referring to.

My 1950 D7 has a few of the original wrenches in the tool kit and they all match the one shown on top. I have been buying a few off eBay and they all match the one shown the bottom of your picture.

I have several of the 5B786 wrenches that you want. I think I might have a 780 left. Do you need any others? I'll send some pics tomorrow.

I have the two wrenches you want. The 5B780 has some damage and the stamping looks like gen 2.
Photo 1. The 5B780 is the rare one.
Photo 2. The obverse.
Photo 3. 5B786 and 5B-786
Photo 4. The other side.

I think you want the 5B786 (the bottom one) as the gen 1 wrenches don't have the dash.
Please send me a PM.
