I just purchased four Kraeuter double open end wrenches and want to complete the set. I think there's 15 wrenches in the set and currently I have 12 with one on the way. I'll need help completing the set if anyone has some. The wrenches I need are:
All wrenches found!

I have several of those, will get to my old shop in a day or so to check. I started gathering those when 2 found me which were (almost) NOS. Have probably half dozen.
There is also a A2538 and a A3034 FYI.
Oh boy. I get the feeling this is going to evolve into a bigger project than I first anticipated...
Skip can you send me a couple pics and price?
Leg17 did you mean a 2528?
Just corrected my original post to reflect what I need.
John K let me know what you have when you have a chance!
Looks like two competing threads Hank.
With Skip's help and an ebay purchase I'm whittling down my needs on this set. Right now I still need A1214, A1316, A2225, A3034 and A3134. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I have A1316, A2225, and A3034 extra.
These are not in great condition, they are culls from my collection.
Let me know if you could use them.
More photos if needed.
Yes I can use the A1316 and the A3034. How much?
These are not in great shape.
You can have the two of them for $12 including shipping.
Take a look.
PM sent.
Update:
In need of the following wrenches now.
A1214
A3034 (leg17 has offered one!)
A3134
Just purchased a A1214 off ebay. So, only one wrench to go! Still looking for the A3134.
I have a 3134, pretty much like new. No rust, most of black paint intact. $15 plus shipping. Weighs 1 lb. 7.4 ozs.

I'll take it! PM sent.
Thanks in large part to this group all 15 wrenches in the set have been found! Now I need to make a display for them. Stay tuned for that!
Here's the set:
Very nice! What a great way to start the year.
Hank Do you have a A-1318?
I have 16 different but I can't tell from your photo which one you are missing.
I have an A1316 but not A1318. Didn't know that one existed. Oh boy... Quest NOT over!
Very nice Hank. There's a nice Kraeuter logo on an Internet Archive catalog that might work for a display board.

leg17, do you have an A1318? If so, could you send a picture?
No part number.
Sizes are equivalent to A1318
Is it for sale?
Sorry Hank, Not for sale at this time.
I have put together a full set of standard, 'S', and check nut wrenches and am still working out a display.
No problem. I'm looking forward to seeing your display!
Still in search of a 1318 wrench.
Well, I DID have the set complete. I teach woodworking in a fairly large high school in Wisconsin. Yesterday morning I left the wrenches out in my shop so I could start making the display board during my lunch hour. When lunch time arrived I noticed the A1416 wrench missing. I've ripped my shop apart looking for it but no luck. I'm hoping a kid didn't swipe it but I've been disappointed before. Maybe it was knocked off the radial arm saw table and ended up in a scrap box? If a kid DID take it it's not because it was valuable or sought after, but possibly to spite me? Either way does anyone have a 1416 sitting around that I could buy to complete the set again?
That's a nice collection, Hank. Hopefully the 1416 shows up soon. Are you tempted at all to spruce them up? I know it is sacrilege, but they would look very cool with polished flats and blued or black oxide shanks or something like that. They will make a cool display anyway, but that particular style of wrench would sure clean up nice. Like I say, I know it is controversial but have you given it any thought?
Yes, I'm thinking about cleaning them but not sure.
Set is complete!
Looks great! Congratulations.

+1 and Wow! Instagram worthy!
Nice! I like the style of those Kraeuter wrenches. I also was established in Newark NJ, although almost a hundred years later!
Sweet, very impressive.
