I have acquired several open end wrenches w/o any size markings or makers mark. Any ideas on manufacturer and time frame? I also have one 5/8 - 3/4 open end wrench w/o a makers mark but it sure looks like a Bonney. I have another open end wrench marked 1 1/16 - 1 1/4 only. It is rather thin with flat edges.

The stamped steel wrench could very easily be a Harley-Davidson wrench. I don’t know who made them, but have a small drawer full.

I have quite a few stamped steel wrenches. This is the only one with a manufacturer name on it. It is written so small that it is easily overlooked. It is Indestro. It is marked as a water pump and fan nut wrench.

^ There were a number of companies that made those stamped steel wrenches. I have a set of Wakefields like that. I believe @Private Lugnutz has a fabulous set but I cannot recall the brand off the top of my head. Pretty difficult to identify without a maker's mark on them.

Found in a toolbox I bought. Small end is ~0.446", large end 0.510".

If anyone needs it to complete a set of unknown Engineer's DOEs, let me know!

I have a dozen or so of the stamped steel thin wrenches from back when I did a lot of bicycle work. Cone wrenches, pedal wrenches, etc.
