Stipau -
Welcome to the site.
I have no clue on the value. Whatever the market would bear, I suppose.
maxcarp -
I don't have those images arranged like that - they're all tagged with the tool manufacturers' names, not vehicles.
There are a lot of them available for download at ToolArchives.com
There are some of those old catalog pages posted on my Flickr.com page (same handle as here)( here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/79622803@N02/ ), and there are a mess of them I've posted in various threads in the "Vintage Tool Discussion" forum under the manufacturer's name.
(I guess I need to get the rest of them sent to TooolArchives so he can get the rest of them posted there....
)

Funny thing is I think of all the tools i have, Walden has the highest percentage unstamped.

Great find.
"Look For the Name Walden-Worcester Stamped on Every Wrench"
I know this piece is quite early but I love the irony in that statement, because later Walden put out a ton of ratchets with no name stamp at all. They always turn up on here with people asking "Who made this ratchet?".

^ yeah... I just posted it in another thread:
... and here's the one that was just listed on Ebay yesterday:

I agree! It would be interesting to know how that got all the way to Norway. Welcome to the site Stipau! Are you planning to look for the missing wrenches? They turn up here more often than you would think. I was at a yard sale a while back and they had a box full of those old specialty wrenches.
I have found som of the wrenches. But i have alot og old tools to sort
This place i emtying is a old garage, where nothing is trown away since the 1920's.

whoa...
I have several hundred of those old catalog pages here... probably over a thousand.
I have forwarded hundreds of them over to Todd at ToolArchives.com
He has them posted on that site available for download in *.pdf format.
I have some of them posted here in one of the "Walden" threads and on my flickr.com page (same handle as here: " four.cycle " )
I still have several hundred more I need to get forwarded to Todd yet, but check there and take a look and see if you can pinpoint that particular part number.
In the meantime I will look through what I have here and see if I can spot those, but it's kind of like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Sorry four.cycle for giving you a shock.
The wrench I'm asking about is in your post#2 above, it's over on the extreme right hand side. It's also in your post#7 above, again on the right hand side (Ford Tool Board). Tool # 3620. It has an offset hex box end on one end (iirc c. 1 inch)and a hex socket ( iirc c. 5/8 inch) on the other end but rotated by 90*, wrench shaft? is round.
I'm not the sort of person that expects others to look for 'a needle in the haystack' for me, I'm quite willing to do the work myself, I was just hoping for a quick answer, seeing as the wrench in question was clearly shown in your posts #2 and #7. I suspect that anyone into vintage Fords or Ford tools might be able to easily identify this wrench.
Btw, before I posted, I did spend quite a bit of time looking on various sites incl. Ebay and several that deal with vintage Ford tools.

Your first statement needs clarification.
The model 3620 wrench shown on the boards in post #2 and post #7 does not match your description just above.
The model 3620 Walden Worcester wrench shown on those two tool boards more resembles the model 267 Indestro wrench shown HERE:
http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=5965088#post5965088 (right-hand page, first column, second from bottom)
Note the Walden Worcester catalog illustrations of the model 3620 look like it's got a 6-point opening, and the description of the model 267 Indestro clearly states it's an 8-point on both ends, so unless the (Walden) illustration is drawn incorrectly (which is always a possibility) we do not have a match there.
Unfortunately the catalog illustrations and the item descriptions of the Walden Worcester display boards are not telling us the details on the tools themselves, so I have no idea if the model 3620 Walden Worcester has the same size ends as the Indestro, but its general appearance looks to be somewhat similar. (Of course, that's about the same as saying all goats look alike.)
If your question is what the application for that particular tool is, the only person who's going to have an answer is somebody who actually has worked on one of those older Ford vehicles and knows something about the plethora of "specialty" tools that were required to repair them, of which there was no small number.
That should make it about as clear as mud, right?
(Did you check ToolArchives.com and see if he's got an early Walden Worcester catalog available for download?)

four.cycle, Thanks for your reply.
Tool is shown on the display boards No. 56 and 80 as 3620 but is shown as
M3620W or A3620 in the list of contents for these boards.
Indestro No 267 is nowhere near what I have and at this point, provisionally believe it's possibly a Walden-Worcester wrench #3620.
I did try downloading the Walden-Worcester 1923 catalog from ToolArchives.com but failed to do so.
If I ever get a digital camera and figure out how to upload? images, I'll post some pics of older tools I have (1920's-1980's). I've been around 'a while'
and not much into modern technology....
Appreciate your efforts in trying to help me,
Thanks again,
Al.

uploading photos is pretty easy. not sure where the "how to" page on that one is, though.
