My $5 Bonney ignition wrench flea market find

[Fatboy]

I have always liked ignition wrench kits, even though when I worked on point type distributor I never used them. I lucked up today, one of the original wrenches is missing and has been replaced long ago. Also has a extra carburetor float gauge and the tiniest adjustable auto/bicycle wrench a 'verjoux baby' made in France and also an 'acme'.

Very  nice set. I've always liked them as well. However I used them a lot on distributors.

Thats a nice set, I cant seem to have any luck making them larger but still very nice, how old is the set would you say?

[Fatboy]

I'm not having as good a luck posting pics on the new forum, I'll try again later. But as tool age I'm guessing 20's or 30's at the latest.

The Acme & Carb tool

[1930]

Those worked for me, what material is the bag, seems pretty flexible, is that right, no liner in inside??? I like the little acme as well, cant make out what the front flap says?

[Fatboy]

Looks like oilskin canvas, the flap says "Bonney Wrenches". I found these on ebay:

Fatboy,

At $5, you done real good. An the tool roll appears to be in good condition (a rarity). I have a similar bonney set and I think I gave $30 for it. I think I may have a 1947 catalog page or magazine ad with your set in it.  Let me see if I can

1) find it and,

2) post it for your enjoyment.

Does anybody know if you can post a PDF image?

Great Find, at a Cheaper than Dirt Price! It is nice to find a full set of anything, let alone Ignition Wrenches!
