Found this while digging stuff out for garage sale! Makes for good conversation in the garage!

3 more? Anyone know what they were used for?

Perhaps tractors?

The one on the left is a JH Williams alligator wrench (shaped to bite into different sized fasteners), previously made under the name Whitman & Barnes. Check out this page from AA, that wrench is near the bottom of the page under W&B. Williams bought them.

I suppose this is something lost in translation, or perhaps not... Now that you own it, better act the part and if anybody disagrees show them the wrench.

I know quite a few guys who should own.

King **** or Abingdon King **** as they were originally called are a premium British tool brand and have been in production since 1856.

See here.

My guess it came from an MG T-series toolkit, late 40s-early 50s

The two on the right could have been supplied with some old-time tractor brand, as already mentioned. Or, in old'n days many of the farm implements were supplied with specialty wrenches for maintenance and adjustment.

That Swagelok tee is a conversation piece too!
