First time I have ever heard of this one, now I own one. Picked it up at the local flea for a quarter. Anyone have any info. on this company? Made in England, with sizes of 3/4" A/F & 11/16" A/F. I tried to google it, and came up empty.

Thanks,

Wayne

Don't know the history, but were suppliers to british car & motorcycle manufactuers.

Look into King Dick history also. I have a Shelly somewhere in the confusion, and a friend has a Shelly 4" adjustable.

And I have a Shelley ballpein hammer. The guy I bought it from said he thought it was from a Jaguar toolkit...

I suspect that they were in a number of British car tool kits. I have several. I have a "Shelley" jack in an MG tool kit which I believe is what they came with.

What a great site for Shelley jacks! Mine was the first one and confirmed what I believed.

There you go Izenglish! If you are going to turn your first Shelley wrench into a collection you have a long way to go.

I picked one up at an auction having never heard of it before.  Mine has recessed lettering and not the kind in your photos.
