DORRIS MOTOR CO. (St. Louis, ca. 1910) -- made autos & trucks.  Markings stamped.  I have 6" & 12 " COES AUTO wrenches overstamped "DORRIS."  Example of marking shown here from a long-ago eBay lot; not in my collection.


Wow....
A place for everything and everything on the floor

I have a puller of some kind made by Rolls Royce.Don't know if it's automotive or for aircraft engines.

I don't have the lists but Rolls Royce had pretty extensive kits especially in the early days. The chauffeur was expected to do a lot of the maintenance on the car and were they trained by the factory to drive the car and to maintain it.

I do have this one wrench which is from a Silver Cloud from about 1906~1920.



All my taste is in my tools.

I have one MACK wrench, a bunch of the Fords, and a large wrench with a very stylized arrow, which I believe is from a Pierce Arrow auto.  Also the Fordson tractor wrenches.

Heyco has all sorts of BMW and Mercedes Benz branded tools. I believe some of the shark wrenches made by Bahco were Volvo branded?
You might say I have a tool collecting problem....

I would like to find websites that have photos and details of the tools that came in tool kits, for autos, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, etc.
Here is an example from the Ford-Fordson Collectors Assoc.:
https://fordtractorcollectors.com/tool-kit/

This website lists factory/dealer tools for GM cars - Note that there is a list of tools they are looking for:

At one time I had a Nash marked wrench and a little later on I found a very similar one marked Rambler so they were probably part of auto tool sets.

A while back I sold Nash and Dodge Brothers wrenches on ebay for fair prices (meaning I got a bit more than the 25 cents to 1 dollar that I paid.

Aren't most Nash wrenches we see for Nash pumps?

I can't answer that but if I owned a Nash car and wanted to make a tool kit to display, a wrench with Nash on it would be perfect.  Therefore they are sellable whether or not actual car wrenches.

Right, and the same with Rambler. I've never heard of a Rambler pump before.

The Nash Rambler automobile was introduced in 1950.
The Rambler wrenches I have seen seem to be from an earlier era.
