Model T tools

[Gmonkee]

I take his word its a Bonney, I also have a Ford wrench with the Bonney shield, it was not a contract tool.

It's been a few years but I am not remembering who used a B in a oval logo.
Refresh us if we're wrong.

Thanks for that Don.
I haven't messed with old iron hands on for a few years.
Been busy with other phases of life

Went digging in storage for other things and pulled out my 1914ish T tool roll.

I kind of forgot how poor quality those contract tools were. Despite being oiled going into storage the adjustable has started rusting again. The A pliers joint got stiff again and this is a dry, ambient temperature area.
The Bonney and WW band wrenches didn't rust at all. Not aimed at the farmer that owned the 2nd hand car. Probably quite expensive compared.
Everything got recoated again as I don't use this kit. Probably never will.

My faked tire irons made from VW bug torsion spring did much better with no rust at all.
I did use those mounting a wheelbarrow tire.
I may have improved upon Henry's contract tools. Using 1934 technology in metals.

I purchased an older tablet that can take small pictures.
My close enough attempt at a 1914 tool kit for the T.

And a couple other T related tools.

Pretty sure at least some of this stuff is model T

pretty sure your little magneto wrench is a GW-1 Gilfillan
it's rather unique

 

[Gmonkee]

I am amazed anyone else knew what it's for. Now I know who the stylized GB logo is. And it bears a GW-1 stamping.

The one I can't guess is the SOE which appears in Ford service bulletins for the early years of the T. It's there, 5-Z-821 is the number but no marks on my wrench. I was unable to determine its use also.
I was always curious if it's the real thing or just similar.

It's a rather odd duck. I don't know of any other manufacturer who made one like that, and that piece is NOT included in the WK2 set.

 

[Gmonkee]

I still believe it's only holding curiosity value by now. I had researched it to T magneto adjustment but didn't look further.

I found it in a cache of cheap stamped steel wrenches in a street market.

 

[four.cycle]

Well... I'd bet OTG would love to have it - he also owns a WK-2 kit.
I'm trying to sell mine.

Springfield drop forging?

zzzzzzzz

So I THINK the “CC” on one of the chisels above and the drift pin? And power/pnuematic chisel below is the Ford steel alloy that in addition to Chromium, Manganese and Silicon includes Tungsten.

 

[MR.X]

So usually I’ll see the alloy using a Ford code like the AAA on the fixed socket on the ratchet. This fixed 3Z 279 socket wrench thou has a traditional sae 3135 alloy marking.

Those are some I hadn't seen in the Ford factory bulletins. Nice finds.
