Anybody have any or know anything about these Herbrand wrenches? They are marked "Made by HERBRAND VAN-CHROME in U.S.A"  and individual catalog numbers  T-3, T-4 and T-5. They are 9-1/2" long.

My No. 37 Herbrand Catalog is too early to show these. Would like to know what they were for and how many other sizes were made. I think it would be neat to have a full set.

They are tappet wrenches. Weird openings but very nice.

Are you sure they are tappet wrenches? Just asking, I haven't seen that type of opening.

Bus,
They are in the No 50M cat...1937. One page set aside for them called V/C ULTRA tappet wrenches, at bottom of page it has "revolutionary new desgn for more efficient tappet work"  Also you are only missing T1and T2!

Thanks for the info. Anybody have the T-1 or T-2?

1930

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.
