Well my grandfather had some really old tools that he gave to my dad sometime back, and I got them from dad. Or at least thats what I think is going on, lol.

The Ford tools, Ive never seen them before, plus im a ford guy. Did some research and these came with the ford tractors back in the day.

Here are the odd ones. Originial Dog Bone? says Ken Tool, fits into sockets like a ratchet would
T wrench, Says Tomahawk Waldon Worcester, 1/2" and 5/8"

Im sure there are more old cool tools that I still need to sort through, these are just a few of the couple hundred tools I got.

I have a Ford wrench myself. 1/2 x 9/16 open ended wrench.

I believe Ford sold tool kits with their vehicles in the early years, prior to WWII.

Model T and Model A Fords came with tool kits also, although most of the stamped Ford versions came from the T era. Early Model A's were stamped but the Ford logo was discontinued.

The two Ford wrenches on the right came with tractors and were used to measure how deep the plow was going in the ground. Some folks would say they were used to measure how much gas was in the tank. So it was a multi-tool.

Yep. There's still one in the tool box of our Ford 8N.

IIRC, the small one to the left of them is a Model T transmission band adjusting wrench, and the one to the left of that is probably the spark plug wrench by the look of what can be seen.

Thats what ive heard as well. Curious about the other 2 tools

The one on the left is a drain plug wrench. Drain and filler plugs with square female fittings were common on older cars.

The one on the right doesn't show completely in the photo. Is it simply a single t-handle and one socket end, or something else?

I think all of my Ford wrenches match that. They just appeared one day, no idea where I got them.

I always thought a "Ford tool" was a hammer though.

The wrench with the measuring marks on it is a Ford tractor wrench. The measurements are for setting plows or hitches.
