Title: Not a home run, but a solid off the wall double.
Post by: moparthug on July 22, 2019, 08:18:18 PM

I picked up 4 wrenches the other day at a yard sale, typical story of cleaning out the father-in-laws house and shop. It was odd that there were only these 4 and I asked if someone had got there before me? He said no, he just hasn't had the chance to drag everything out. I gave him my name and contact number if he found more tools and sure enough this morning he calls me back over. I picked up this box full of wonders for $20, so far I've only ID'd one of the wrenches as a Gormally & Jeffrey Mfg Co Chicago bicycle wrench, 1890's vintage.

Stand up double! The box is neat.  The tools are better!

Starting to clean up the various tools and already hit a wall. The Clean Cut screwdriver and Mossberg #260-A are no problem, but this big "S" wrench stamped with B&T is stumping me. Any ideas?

The one resting on the left edge of the box is for nuts that have been rounded off past the point that a regular wrench can turn them:

That's a rare, but useful, wrench!

Some nice hub wrenches in the box lid.
