These Bonney tools are 3/8" dr. They appear to be crows foot wrenches but what for?

Crows feet are most commonly used for recessed hydraulic or pneumatic fittings. Sort of like flare wrench ends on the end of an extension.
Can't open your particular pics, but Bonney's Loc-Rite broaching system really came in handy for not rounding off the usually softer brass and aluminum fasteners in those applications. Although I think crows feet would work on any job where space is restricted.

I wonder why you can't see the pics. Too bad, as these don't look like any crows foot wrenches I've seen before hence me asking.

I think it has something to do with not allowing me to view some kinds of links. Might be my computer, or my internet.
Don't know - I'm a wrench rat, not a computer nerd!:)

You would typically find those useful on rod packing nuts found on hydraulic cylinders. Actually any "nut" that was driven by groves in the face that matched the arc of the tool and mated with the groves.

A highly specialized face spanner. When you need it, little else will work.

Thanks, Elroy. Is there a proper name for them?

Nice pictures

Elroy would also point out that those could be used on specific size "Bear Hug" bearing lock nuts but those nuts are typically driven with a "hook spanner"

Now I can see them! What did you do different?

it looks like some sort of aviation application. I believe the "PWA" is a designation for Pratt-Whitney, and Bonney made alot of aviation industry tools.

I was unfamiliar with PWA before. Learning all the time. Perhaps I should have grabbed the other PWA tools that were available. Thanks for the help fellas.
