Older micrometers?

I never heard that term before either, but I'm guessing it refers to an
adjustable open end wrench, i.e. a "Crescent wrench."

Which, except for its straight handle, is quite similar in design to
what some of us old farts remember as a "Wescott".

That looks a bit like a knuckle-buster.
Worse than a monkey wrench.
