I can't recall the use of that first too either.  Second one is a battery bolt pliers, and see some tools that look real familiar.  There is a New Britain offset box end that is of the type I'm collecting.   Looks like this would of required two trips to the truck!

The top set of pliers in the first photo are for removing/installing "Cleco" fasteners in sheet metal to temporarily hold sheet metal panels together for riveting.

skylab,

What's the AF sizes of the Kreauter DOE?  Also, would you be interested in some kind of wrench swap/sell?

Always like seing the Plomb stuff... epecially things I've never seen before.

Is that a mid-production wrench? Any markings on it?

You have acquired some interesting wrenchs. Seems like a lot of Plomb stuff for Pa. Must have hit a honey hole.
The G3170 looks like a type 20 assuming the small end is 1 1/16. In picture the C in logo looks like it might be upside down,but can't tell from picture. If it is it would be a different type. There are 77 different types of this wrench.
Assume the cast open end with the black paint is a 2155 which is also from IHC family.
Can't quite make out marking on cast wrench on left side of photo with the Kraueter. Can you share it?
Nice finds;hope your good fortune continues.

HELP ANYONE

Who is the maker of the middle wrench in the third and fourth picture?
Looks like a circle with an 'M' inside it or something?
Marked G3170.
Is that IHC?

Thanks
Tom

See above...LOL

>marking on cast wrench on left side of photo with the Kraueter

I looked at it and saw 'Cyclone'...But I dunno which company of several possible that would imply...

Very diverse assortment of wrenches :)

Sorry guys don't want to sell anything.  That one wrench is marked "cyclone".   I really like Kraeuter wrenches, I see them often on ebay.
There's a guy at the flea that sells nothing but tools and he buys from estate sales.  Told him to save all plomb and new britian wrenches for me, so he does.  He has hundreds of wrenches for sale. It seems where I live people collect and save everything old.  Antique Road show said this about Pittsburgh PA.   I'm about 45 min south of it.
