There's probably a 1000 more different types but here's a few of mine.

Great collection. I like them, but have picked up very few.

Very cool, HeelSpur. Reminds me of 3bay's speeder hinge handle collection in its esoteric devotion to type. I greatly admire niche collections like this, by type, especially when it's something different. Not to say I don't admire the 700 Ratchets Club, either. But there's something cool about collections like this.

Please post a list of the makes and model names or numbers keyed to their position on the board. Not all the brands are visible.

I have a few. But not as a goal. Just happenstance. I will gather and post when I get a chance.

I like all tools...Well maybe I get tired of seeing all the ugly block grinders and seeing old boat anchor vises, so your collection is what I like to call; A BREATH OF FRESH AIR if you get my meaning.

Great collection keep it up!

nice, real nice.

That's a nice collection, and a nice fun thing to look at them all hanging there.
The sort of thing that visitors who don't know you that well see them and think "how odd, this guy has a load of old wrenches hung on a board", and then they spend the next half hour looking at them in detail and reading out the makers names!
Thanks for sharing.

Cool collection. I have a few similar style small wrenches, but they have wood handles. Is the fact that yours all have metal handles what classifies them as bicycles wrenches?

 

[3baygarage]

That they are all metal, small, fairly slim, are factors I think. Wood handle might fall more in the pipe wrench/monkey wrench categories. Depends I guess, some are wood handle too! Looking around, there are some wood handled that say bicycle.

Anyone know what G in a diamond logo is? Didn't see it on AA or WN.
