Gedore No. 8 Wrenches

[Provincial]

I picked up three Gedore No. 8 DOE wrenches the other day. They have the same opening sized on both ends, one of which is angled different from the other. They are very thin, like tappet wrenches. They are 17, 14, and 12mm.

I can't find any on the internet, so i am wondering if anyone here knows anything about them.

Those wrenches look like the older angle head tappet wrenches that used to be produced by a lot of older USA tool companies. I'm not sure whether that design was produced for use in Germany or Europe, or whether those would have been made for export.

Gedore still uses the "8" model number for 15 and 75 degree offset open end wrenches they call "Double ended midget spanner small", which in the USA would probably be called ignition wrenches. The wrenches are only produced in sizes 4mm-14mm, or 3/16"-7/16".
