Hello, I picked this up over the weekend. The wrenches are all Walden, the file is a Heller, and the gapping tool is stamped Century Tool Co. The wrench sizes & wrench numbers are;                                 7/32 (1914), 15/64 (1915), 1/4 (1916) , 9/32 (1918), 5/16 (1920), 11/32 (1922), 3/8 ( 1924), 7/16 (1928), and 1/2 (1932) . I am wondering if anyone has a complete kit, or would know what I would need to fill it? I looked around on the web, no luck, don't have access to a Walden catalog. Regards, Lou

I dug out a set that I have, can't recall where I got them,but they came in a little nylon bag that looks like it was made last week in China.I have two wrenches that aren't in your set a 3/16" No 1912 and a 13/64" No 1913  But I am missing the 11/32" wrench. No idea what makes a full set, some place I have a small Walden booklet but I went and looked for it but it's not with the other small books. Some day I hope to get better at organizing things.

Lou, I have a printed out picture of a tool roll sold by Bradley tool equipment co.

it has 10 wrenches;  1/4" 13/64" 7/32" 15/15" 9/32" 5/16" 11/32" 3/8" 7/16" & 1/2" in pockets from left to right
then next was a ignition file (unknown)  feeler gauge (Kaster)  small screwdriver (Bridgeport) and last is a pair of
ignition plyers (Proto)
the wrenches were all Walden's, but they did not list the numbers.

if you want a copy of this, let me know.

I have also seen a listing for the 1912 - 3/16"  &  the 1913 - 13/64" like gibsontool mentioned.

nice find, Frank

Hello, Frank. I found the link to the listing of the full set, I saw the one on ebay earlier, as well. Do you know where I could locate the 2 that I am missing? Thanks again, Lou

 are you looking for the 1/4"  &  13/64"  ?

do they have to have the 1900 series number on them,  as Walden was known to change the number
every few years, but not the wrench.

If anybody has a spare 11/32" kicking around I sure be interested in a swap or a purchase.
