Default Wrench with non-parallel jaws

Interesting wrench.

The width of the open jaws is very wide -

I suspect the wrench is a jam on wrench.

Does look odd.

Specifically, the face of the movable jaw is perpendicular to the
"ways", but the fixed face is not. But they aren't sprung or worn that
way. It seems that it was made like that. But why? Just plain poor
quality? But that's *really* bad. It's an old wrench, not Chiwandian.
It says drop forged, if that helps.
