here's some better pics of the small wrench.   It is about 4 inches long, no markings.

Most certainly a bicycle wrench, intended for carrying on tool pouch on bike.

Thorsen made some interesting tools but some of their items seemed to be low quality. I have some chisels that do not hold an edge very well. But I also have a set of 2 curved 3/8" socket (lateral or horizontal) extensions - they are about 4" long and are used to reach around obstacles. They can be used together to make a U or switched around to make a S shape, there's a lot of ways to use them alone or together and with regular extensions for hard to reach places. Makes a great tool for distributor timing bolts. Really useful, I don't know why they stopped making them or no one else has made them. Al.

Is that bicycle wrench steel? I've seen alot of those kinds of wrenches, but they've all been aluminum.

bike wrench is not steel.  It does appear to look that way.  Tested with magnet

what do you guys think the top wrench was for?

Thanks
