Vintage Blue Point, Blue Points Chicago and Blue-Point tools thread

Can anyone identify the purpose of this end? Automotive specialty? Spacing in-between prongs is indeed 1/4”.

Glass Fuse placer? The insulated shaft makes me think electrical, but I’d prefer it be longer.

No part number just says Blue point Chicago. Believe it's a bushing Extractor maybe for Buicks?

Anyone seen this in a catalog? 13/32 X 5/16 S-9057 I was thinking maybe Zenith Carb gas adjusting valve for Model A but.....

Ford. 13/32 for dash adjustment nut. 5/16 carburetor needle valve inside of carburetor. Would date early 30s

Hi. So in the cat. they say there's an earlier version of this Ford Model A carb wrench (S-9059) Do you have one? I'm guessing the 13/32 end was 7/16 on that one.

 

[snapmom]

Yes, I have one, was changed

The tiniest feeler gauge set I've seen.



2" long folded and 1/4" wide blades. Nice embossed numbers.

Found a Blue Point dbe......in whitworth

Once upon a time as a teenager, I had an ole MG
I'm not sure what wrenches and sockets I used to work on it.....

A wrench like this one may have come in handy
I'm guessing I used a combination of SAE and Metric tools to work on the stupid thing which was constantly

Glad to have gotten rid of that unreliable lousy car

1936 Buick oil line wrench S9813. For all 1936 series. Space for turning the nut is very restricted and obstructed on the 1936 models 3/8 and 1/2 opening

 

[snapmom]

The blue in blue points, looks more purple. Would date like 1925

Blue Point No. 1091 long handle tappet wrench. Date 1937. Opening 1/2”. Length 12”
A odd one. Cannot find it listed in any cats. shape is different, has a small bent neck. Has no size stampings. Has a odd model number as to other long tappets

Thanks. So it looks like the markings are showing up around 1935….so far. Based on comments I’m not sure I explained what I’m trying to do very well. I have a Par-V marked single offset wrench. It also has a USN- NAF pre WW2 contract # on it. The wrench is a dead ringer for a Blue Point but isn’t marked Blue Point BUT I noticed it has the forge/ foundry marking under the offset end just like Some Blue Points I had seen. I was trying to get a bigger sample size and it looks like Blue Point was doing that at least around 1935. This gives me some confidence that the wrench may in fact be a Snap-On / Blue-Point related 1935 ish PAR-V used for filling a Navy contract. Below is my 3/4” Par-V single offset next to the image of a 1935 3/4” Blue Point single offset taken from an eBay auction. Obviously both have the 24D (24/32?) marking. Of course my Par-V could just be a Blue Point blank used for a mil. Contract the someone stamped Par-V but……seems unlikely.

So I kinda forgot about this but here’s a 3/4” single offset box Blue Point with the same forge?/ foundry mark indicating size. 1935 date code would line up with Pre war NAF number and possible Par-V time frame.

M4272, 5/8 on both ends. no date code, Cannot find it in any of the cats. Probably early 30s probably for a Mack truck as most M codes from that era are Mack
