Some metric no.1's.

Here's a set of 8M's in BA sizing. They're a bit grubby but otherwise still in perfect condition.

This is my Dowidat (pronounced Doo ve dart, at least so I was told many years ago) no.3 Witworth set. I have posted the AF set in another thread but thought I'd post this set here as we all love quality German ring spanners right. These are circa late 1950's. 8 spanners in total, they overlap as...

Had a quick look through my adjustables for brands that haven't been shown yet. Found an 8" Henry Boker from Germany, 6" Dowidat from Germany, a 4" Garrington from England, and a 10" Top from Japan.

Dowidat no.3 ring spanners - doppelring-schlüssel. This is my AF set.
