title.  it has intrigued me greatly 

I love old locking pliers that are not made by vice-grip. there were many interesting designs

I think x-acto made these many years ago. But it is a very outdated design, and not preferred for medical use due to the fact that It is hard to clean compared to a regular scalpel. I cannot say what x-acto was thinking with this design, but it's very hard to find the blades. I've felt the same when I find cool old utility knives! Blades are always hard to find. I had an old brass furrier knife with one dull and unusual blade. My plan was to purchase a modern blade with a similar shape and then bore the correct holes so that it locks into place.

Love the Stanley !!

Hi Jim, 

Yes. Type 9. Mine is missing the patent info to make it a type 8.

Thanks!

Hey Yadda,

Thanks for stopping by the thread.  Take another look at your ratchet and compare it to the Type 9.  I think you'll see that it fits more closely to the Type 9 category.

Jim C.

Thank you

true

OK. I checked a Triumph Motorcycle Parts Book (1969 650 Bonneville) - and the wrenches you have are the tool kit wrenches.  There are other tools in the kit, but those you have are the four wrenches. Except for the flat stamped wrench, they are vey high quality and nice looking.
