I thought this might be a lug wrench when I got it , but has smaller sizes.
5/8,11/16,13/16, and 15/16".
The end swivels whan you pull back on the handle. One size is well used.
Any ideas?
Actually that is a lug wrench of a sort. This is for the small bolts on the clincher style rims, where the wheel stayed on the car, and the rim came off for tire repair. Most likely used by a shop, gas station, rather than carried in the car. Have one. Probably 1920s-30s. Neat tool.
Makers name on it anywhere?

I have one that looks just like this one. Mine is marked Blackhawk, 4 in 1 Rim Wrench 5104
Thanks for the input.It's a little rusty and I can't find a maker mark anywhere.
Surprised that they are that common ,that two more are known. I guess just because I never saw one , doesn't make it rare.
I'll research the Blackhawk number and pass it on to the new owner.Someone decided
he needed it, and I just picked it up as a curiosty.
I have a couple of other spinner lug wrenhs , but they are one size sockets.
Didn't they have autos on farms?
I'm noticing on eBay that "old farm tool" is getting tacked on to anything over 25 years old that's made to do actual work.
I see there is one on Ebay for $79.00, I sold for 1/4 to a nice guy.
Now I can go buy something else to show you guys.
Branson--They usually had trucks also, LOL
