Waverly: The Final Chapter

[dimwittedmoose51]

Went back to the hardware store/Estate sale location for their 50% off day and had a few things I really wanted to snag and got most of it.  Spent like $14, but that included several Akro MIlls red bins with hardware, stuff not worth photographing, 6 record albums for .25 ea. and a 15" tall stack of 45's for free.  If allowed, I'll need a little help ID-ing some of these items as I have no clue who made them or in some cases, what they are spozed to do.  The BIG FIND (for me anyway) was the Speed -Hed 9/16" made by Vlchek and apparently fairly rare according to Alloy Artifacts.

PHOTO #1  Clockwise from the top, a mystery screwdriver with no brand on it, but numbers and letters that go like this: A665(or S)6X 5/16 Square, The grip driver says Big 4 Industries Cin. 12 O.(must be old with that old an address)  It doesn't ratchet, but the drive unit will disengage). On the other side it has a small T inside a large G for a logo and pat. pend. of course.  Then a MAC Wood Handled slot(had red paint on the sleeve that for some reason I buffed off, or I likely would've tossed it as it was in a tub with a bunch of Taiwan woodies), 2 Gambles Artisans, An Upson Bros.(ever heard of these folks?) of Rochester NY "Hold E-ZEE",  and a virtually new Task Force( again never heard of it), that's US-made,A Duro Chrome 4702, a no name micrometer that's no match for the Starett I have,The larger yellow handled slot driver with the handle facing the camera has no name on it, but I thought the metal square drive wedged in the top might help ID it, and finally the stubby wood handled phillips#2 with the patent info stamped on the shank.

PHOTO#2  The pliers stash.  From top to bottom, Krautter lineman's pliers, John Deere TY 3274, Skil-Craft,  Barcalo Buffalo(very faint lettering due to rust), and then we come to the mystery pliers/crimpers that I have no idea what they do or how they work.

PHOTO#3  The right side stamped wrenches from top to bottom:  2 no names, A "Quality Steel" from Japan, another no name, 3 ignition Oxwalls, and another no name.  The left side has A Vlchek(shield logo has both a V and a T in it though), a Delaval auto wrench(maybe)?,  a 6112 Bonney, thought the helmet logo appears to be partially ground off, a tappet wrench also with grinding on it but has a 90 and an Alloy                                        stamped on it.  Then a photo of the big find  Speed-Hed 778 9/16" combo wrench referred to earlier,   Then a W&B 322A that someone may have bent for their own needs.  Then a B-10 Bon-0E-Con, and a circle M with a 21 on it; a Morse I think.

PHOTO#4  A Cochran 10" pipe wrench with a patent of 1908, a14" Wards Lakeside and the other 4 wrenches are no names  The twin spanners look familiar, but the speed wrench and the other tool appear to be auto tools of some sort.

PHOTO%#5 is a closeup of the pipe wrench logos.

Thanks in advance  for the help.

Picture 4- The 2 pressed wrenches look like model T to me.

and then we come to the mystery pliers/crimpers that I have no idea what they do or how they work.                                                                 

Some variation of chain pliers, perhaps?

3rd pict. down right side all the way at the top, I might be interested if you woud like to part with 4th pict down the lug wrench, is the end a swivel, what do the ends look like, more curious than anything but again might be more interested.
Nice finds either way

1930:  The speed wrench is not a swivel now, but it appears that some post factory welding may have been done under there.  The square head is a bit torqued to almost a diamond shape and definitely out of index.  The hex side is small, maybe 5/8", 11/16 at the most.  The other lug tool has one square side and one hex.  Wasn't sure which wrench you were interested in in Picture 3.  Pmail if you want to.  I'll be around tonight.  I can shoot photos if needed.

> a Delaval auto wrench(maybe)?,

Likely De Laval Cream Separator Wrench #4126
(Can't see it very well tho)

Lots of goodies you found, the Cochran is nice also..

> An Upson Bros.(ever heard of these folks?) of Rochester NY

Very little, different than Upson Nut co, I think they were clockmakers...
