Here is a combo wrench I found at an estate sale yesterday.

An early forged Cornwell turned up at the flea market recently. I think these are the coolest looking. Unbelievably thin walled survivor, it must have had an easy life.

Early cornwell sockets have a nice cave man look to them

They sure are prehistoric looking.

I rarely leave Cornwell tools behind so I picked this EW18 DOE up at yesterday’s estate sale. It cleaned up much better than I expected.
As found.
Cleaned up.

I picked up this lady foot on Friday. I couldn't see the marking ("14 CORNWELL 5") until I cleaned it up. As a GMTK tool (BAR, pry, rolling head, 16" length) I don't leave too many behind if they match the spec and look the part in age. The most desirable examples have the "QMC" (for Quartermaster Corps) stamp on the head, such as the one at the bottom in the group shot. It's rough, but I was intrigued by the profile - hexagonal stock, instead of round, on this one, and I believe it's the first Cornwell I have ever seen or had.

It doesn't appear in a catalog until 1936 and the same image and text appears through 1941, a slightly different layout in 1946.
