The five on the bottom right say Ford on them. Any input is always appreciated as i know nothing about this stuff. What the heck is the double-plier thing? It says A Davidson on it. Thanks again, Tom

Ford stuff: Flat wrench would be for Model T hubcaps (biggest hex) and various other T parts.
Partially obstructed open end looks like T Band adjustment wrench for transmission.
Next is probably '33-7 Ford sparkplug and head nut wrench, though some others are similar. 40 part number prefix?
The 2 01A wrenches at bottom are sparkplug and head nut 1940--48.
I hope the wierd thing in third picture is not medical...maybe just for opening giant clams.

I've come across the deep offsets and combos like in the lower right. They appear to be quite common on ebay and auctions values tend to be hit and miss. The Ford logo is cool though.

Man if it's medical I don't want to know about it :shocking: Thanks for the info on the rest. 3 of them are 01A and I can't make out anything on the other one

I'm almost wondering if the weird thing is some sort of welding clamp. It tightens both sets of jaws when it comes together

OK...right below the T tools: I think first open/box would be the third O1A? Same function as 2 O1a's at bottom, but was used only early in 1940. Box end should be 12 point, then wrench below that probably has 40 number and is '33-37
