Seems that most of my stuff so far has been chemical formula FeS2. Here's the most recent digs from my boxes. Sooner or later I have to have something that someone is going to say "OMG, you have only the second left handed widget I've ever seen!".

Well, there's no "OMG!" in that lot, CARNAC, but the NONE BETTER ignition wrench is interesting. The configuration - 15* angle (5/16" opening) x 60* angle 9/32" opening) - was common in the 1940's. Its pair would've been the opposite - 15* angle (9/32" opening) x 60* angle 5/16" opening). Other pairs in a 9-wrench set were typically 13/64" x 15/64", 7/32" x 1/4", and 11/32" x 3/8", with a single 7/16" x 1/2". Ignition wrench sets with those specs were issued to WWII GMTK's. And New Britain (which also made NONE BETTER) was a supplier. But New Britain ignition wrenches are not common, and I have never seen a NONE BETTER. The most common brand found is Duro-Chrome E6X and G6X series. They are all hard to collect onesy-twosy, much better running into a whole set. But you have a set started now!

I lost connectivity so I didn't get to finish my second post.

The two black wrenches are marked Billings... and both are identical sizes but one is marked 3/8 USS and 5/16 USS but the other wrench is 5/8 and 11/16.

Just found the info on why that was.
