Title: Tractor tool?
Post by: moparthug on July 21, 2019, 05:38:22 PM

Picked up these four at a yard sale, a Hawkeye gator wrench, a Blue-Point 5/8 x 9/16, an odd "T" shaped stamped steel tool with a pat date of July 11, 1899, and... well... this wrench/socket combo tool with a raised star on it. Any ideas on the last two?

The Hawkeye wrench is of special interest to me because it's from Marshalltown Iowa, where my family had a farm prior to WW2.

Flat wrench patent date shows it to be a bicycle wrench.  http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?pn=D31194&id=39351 (http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?pn=D31194&id=39351)
