Cool!
Who made it?

And it looks like it can accommodate nuts up to about 3/8", too! I assume this is in your possession; if not, it should be.

Yes it is my favorite miniature. tool the little combination wrench is one of two. the only way i could put a inventory tag on them was to tape the wrench to the back of the tag

Very neat, looks cool. You should be proud of her!

I was in an antique store last weekend and they had maybe 6-8 different miniature tools, very heavy, none any longer than 2 inches, there was a shovel, a pick, a rake, a sledgehammer, I cannot remember the rest, very well detailed and made. I asked him how much thinking for 3 dollars a piece tops I would buy them just for the heck of it.
He wanted 5 a piece and so I left them. They looked very old as they had a nice aged finish

If the tools were cast iron, chances are that they were made by Arcade. They made cars, farm equipment, doll house furniture, banks, and last but not least-- great miniature tools. They probably are worth the $5 apiece, but it depends how much you wanted them. Offer a lump sum for the lot, you may get a better unit price.

Bob, sent you PM dont know if you will see it before we leave for the day so here goes, like I said it is an hour drive 1 way, gas money would be approx 12-15.00 do you still want them? Gas here is almost 4 dollars a gallon and my vehicle likes to use it.
5 dollars a piece plus shipping plus the fuel cost, let me know
Sent you a PM with my phone number we are leaving for the day

Hello Bob, as per our conversation here they are, 31.95, they would not drop the price. No extra for gas since I wanted to get something else in that area anyway and it gave me an excuse.
They are quite heavy, I have a feeling that the wrench is just a standard ignition wrench someone thru in there are one time just cause it had the same patina and it is the only one marked but I did not see this until after the sale.
They are all around 4 inches and under except the rake handle which puts that one at about 4.5 or so
Hope you like them
