Old Ford Wrenches?

[Ruffgeezer]

Recently during the big sort out(tm)

I discovered this:

And since going through the really grufty bucket of spanners, I have found another 3 with similar numbers on the back, but only one of which has the ford logo on.

I will get pictures of those on Monday as they are at work.

I am gonna say that Ford wrench dates between 1910-1930, but I could be wrong.

Probably from a Model T or A tool kit.

+1 at guess it's Model T.

It's cool . . . ooops I mean it's terrible. Ship it across the pond so you you can get rid of it !!

Alas poor chap has been trying to sell his Ford wrench for several months without any luck.

Ford script wrenches are readily available almost the world over - every Model T, A, Truck, Tractor... came with tools of a sort all with the Ford logo.
Model T tool kit, Model A tool kit I believe that wrench is likely from a tractor

It's certainly possible, I hoard my **** from far and wide!

What sort of finish would they have had normally.

Since we're on the subject, anyone know what this one is for?

Those wrenches are nearly worthless. I gave away a couple of dozen with the last couple of Fords I sold. I did keep the monkey wrench style adjustables. Those I find very handy for plumbing.

My area is flooded with ford tools the only worth money ones are the tools borrowed from the plant,

That's for driving valve guides out of Model A&B Fords. The guides are 2 piece split because of the flared end on the valve stems.

Cool, thanks! It's one of many tools from my grandfathers days of wrenching.
