The very large wrench is from "Otter Creek Boom and Lumber Company"

 Looks like you got a couple of those farm implement wrenchs you are looking for. That R197 sent me to the basement to see if I had one. I did. Off an old IHC hay rake. How did that Plomb get in there?
That is indeed a huge log. Was down in the Sutton area when they were building the interstate;too many bends in the roads for me with my motion sickness issues; but beautiful country.
Nice variety of wrenchs.

bought the plomb wrench same day.  I like plomb but I trade them for other wrenches.  Found all of these at the tractor show.  I will be going back in August.  I saw some Nash wrenches there but didn't buy.  I'm going back to buy these if the dealer is still there.

That is an impressive array of tools.   Sort of a something for everyone.   I think those old cast wrenches are starting to grow on me.   Anyone have any ideas on that combination cast wrench with cylinder nut  cast into it?   Just got a near twin to it, says that on one side and something else on the other.

It came with a Delco Light Plant.

what do you think the hammer is for?  I didn't see any markings.

Looks like a blacksmith's "cutting hammer".

I think it is a small raising hammer with two different radiuses on each end. I have tried scan a picture out of a Dixon catalog but have not suceeded yet!? I will keep trying.
