Identify old wrenches

[Odes]

Can someone help me identify the maker of these two old wrenches I can't find any more maker marks just the number stamped on them they look like Bonney or Gray

Can you show us the other side? There may be some forged-in markings.

They are old I can tell you that. Before standardized sizing the wrenches were numbered. I have a bunch and they are at least a hundred years old

There was a standardizes numbering system that was used by a few different wrench manufacturers back when, and which still is used in some cases today, by companies like martin, and those wrenches seem to used it.

I don't know who manufactured those wrenches, but the round shape of the one wrench, and tapering handle, reminds me of old J H Williams wrenches. Bonney used a similar shape, but I'm not sure whether the wrenches were as rounded.

They do remind me of the Bonney wrenches and there is no forged marks on the other side and I don't have the wrenches with me now but I do have a no 27 Bonney to compare

Here is a pic of the whole wrenche

Does anyone recognize this forge mark from a different wrench

That mark is a bit faint but it's an early Vlchek.

Thanks I see it now I have been checking hello Alloy Artifacts site trying to figure out who's Mark that was but it makes more sense now

Bonney also used a very similar shield mark at one point.
