Some nice tools, is there a story about them?
They are just some tools I have acquired through multiple tool lot purchases. Sorry if there is supposed to be more of a discussion associated with a post. Brand new to this site. I just wanted to share the pics.

What is the brand and model number on the loooooong combination wrench with the kink in it? Is the twist factory or owner made? Is that its pair right next to it?
The long opened end wrench is a Miller c811. The one next to it is marked c589 but is not marked Miller or anything else for that matter. I am not sure if it is a factory bend or owner made. It is almost perfect and really hard to tell. As far as the curved adjustable wrench, it is a B&C. The one set of pliers are Bernards, the other are mini Proto 235s. The 3/4" ratchet is a Blackhawk 69987. Thank you for looking! Hope you liked the pics.

I am sure they have a history. I am always buying tools and love digging through pipes of old, rusty tools. These are just a few out of my collection.

?? I am talking about the 3rd and 4th wrench from the top in your pic. They are both combination wrenches (one open end, one box end). So the one with the twist in it (wrench #3 from the top) has no markings whatsoever? How is the wrench underneath it (wrench #4 from the top) marked?
And, new subject, which wrench is marked Miller Mfg? The first DOE wrench at the top? They were a huge Detroit area service tool mfgr from as far back as WWII. They got so big they actually bought Bonney for a short time in the mid 1950's.

Right. The one with the twist is the Miller marked c811. The one next to it that is similar with no twist is only marked c589. No other markings but looks very similar to the Miller.

Both undoubtedly Miller with those model numbers. Very interesting.
That's what I was hoping. Thank you!
