Oh, you're showing off, Bird!  What a neat collection...um, gathering...of wrenches.

The J575 one looks more like a component of a machine than a wrench to me - I picture it pivoting on the hole in the middle, and pulled/pushed by the hole in the end, with the slot operating on some pin in the machine.

The flat wrench just above it was probably a throwaway wrench sold with something for use during the installation of the something.  But maybe not; I'm wrong at least once a day (my wife would argue this is wild optimism on my part), and maybe this is today's occasion.

Can't help otherwise.

The flat wrench marked Binks probably came with a spray(paint) gun to change the nozzle...

The logo mark on the Gould wrench is for the Gould that made circuit breakers etc...

Gould was eventually bought by ITE. (ITE-Gould for a while)
ITE goes back to the 1890's as ITE Circuit breaker company.
They later merged to became ITE Imperial, then apparently went on a buying spree....
Only to be bought themselves...

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.
