Hello, I am looking for a little info on these wrenches. All have GORDON TOOLS in raised lettering on one side , and CHROME VANADIUM on the other. The heads are stamped for size, AF  (across flats ?) on one side , and SAE on the other. Holder looks homemade? English made, or U.S.? Motorcycle, car???? Thanks, Lou

Being SAE they had no application on British motorcycles and few cars. Two makes that used SAE nuts and bolts were Ford and Vauxhall (GM) in pre-war days. After WWII unified threads became adopted and these spanners are from that era.
