I put these up in the garage sale thread and asked the question there but no love so I'm throwing it out here. I picked up several old wrenches at a thrift shop and I don't know who made the three at the bottom of the first photo. The second photo is a close-up of what looks to me like a flag logo with some sort of stylized letter inside of it. The only marking on the other side is a single letter M. I've checked AA and searched online every way I can think of and I've got nothing, does anyone know who made these?

I see needlenose vice grips on the top left. and the dark sockets are probably impact rated. The flat wrenches seem to be from different maufactures & kinda hard to read.

The right photo has what looks like the Kawasaki company flag. so it probably came out of a motorcycle's tool kit.

Thanks, I know what everything else is. :D The top three wrenches are by King ****, Proto and Hazet.

A quick Google search proves you are right about the Kawasaki flag. Thank you sir!

Yaa, I've owned a couple of Kawasaki's over the years, a 1977 Kz1000 until I traded/bought my current Kawasaki, a 1982 GPz 1100 B2 with the Fuel Injection.

If the Kawasaki ones don't actually say Kawasaki on the other side they are very early examples & desirable for the restoration guys. I just saw an early Kaw toolkit sell for stupid money.

Thanks all for the replies, it was only the Kawi wrenches I couldn't ID (I know less than nothing about motorcycles and Japanese tools generally). I took them to be pretty old just judging by the style and patina on the two better specimens. Appreciate all of the info.
