Bridgeport, Victor, AJ81, Tomahawk, and a few others

[OilyRascal]

A few things from the pawn today.  I tested a new buying strategy.  Gather up EVERYTHING tool related made USA....haggle over price after everything I want is piled in boxes.  Lazy man not wanting his hands dirty running pawn shop resulted in an average of .25 a tool (his first offer not mine).  I will try that again at another larger pawn.

1) 11" Bridgeport driver - seems its missing 'something' as a cap
2) Victor Mfg. VIMCO - Patent 1363274
3) 1-1/2" socket with markings "AJ81"
4) 4" MULTI-wrench 7-15mm - no makers marking but does seem to have double arrow logo
5) 1620 Tomahawk Walden Worcester
6) unknown to me - brake spoon?



7) WILDE 007 1/2" chisel
8) Blackhawk 34976 3/8"



9) pitted 20" unknown DOE
10) Larger S Wrench (~20") that needs a cleaning before I can identify



11) I'm struggling here.  Offset socketed S wrench?  If there were any marking, they are now blending with the many marks from use.

The little wrench (#4) is a bicycle wrench according to this post under the subject "Today's finds":

I'm curious if anybody could offer any information outside being a "bicycle wrench".

The VIMCO (#2) - Is anybody able to suggest whether this is an older or more recent version of the patent?

#7 - Is this a brake spoon?

Thanks in advance

I have seen that little wrench #4 referred to as a 'dogbone' wrench also. If you do a google image search for it, you'll have to sift through all the other larger versions, but you may also find a few like yours along with a bit more information. There were many makers.
I love the blackhawk driver ;)

Number 6 in the first photo is a combination tire iron and clutch spring adjuster for a Triumph motorcycle. One came in the tool kit for my 1967 model.

That blackhawk driver is yours to the side if you want it.  Thanks for the hint on the bicycle wrench.  It led me to understanding they were also called "Dumbell" wrenches, and made by at least Draper, Reese, Schwinn, and Victor.....although I believe I have ruled those makers out based on markings (or lack thereof).

It seem one would know this only by direct experience, as I've found nothing insofar that would detail the toolkit contents.....but I'm still digging.  Thanks for the information.

Exactly! One would have had the pleasure of attempting to get a Triumph clutch set up just right to appreciate that tool!
Here is one-

I made my own from a screwdriver. Tool is needed to adjust the clutch spring bolts- three of them in this picture-

#10 in last picture is a Williams (Underline S) 676 S Wrench; 1-5/16 x 1-1/4 with a "T" marking and measuring 21" length.  It certainly feels substantial.

...Here is one.....

Is that a variation of the the tool I have, possibly made in a different period?  The "working end" seems the same, but the shank is different.  Possibly because one is a "toolkit" tool and the other a specialty tool sold for that specific task?  I appreciate the information and views into real life use.

I never bought one of the "toolkit" ones, nor a factory one. I just ground the right sized notch in a throwaway screwdriver.
