Vintage Tune Up Wrenches

[spotco2]

I'd never seen these before and thought some of you might find them interesting.

These appear to be old tune up wrenches for setting points. I've never heard of the brand and can not find anything on the net about them.

These came from a large group of tools that I purchased. Most have been from mid 50's to late 60's so far. I am assuming that these are from the same time period.

Splitdorf was a brand of spark plug.

Splitdorf made magnetos too, IIRC.

Most of these are earlier, pre--just post WWI, for magnetos. There were LOTS of different mags and wrenches for them, and the aftermarket sold sets marked by brand of magneto.
The original suppliers offered them too...some had 2 feelers marked for plug and for mag, and of course some were sold for regular Kettering ignitions after those took over.
If you trolled through the Hershey car show, you would probably find a hundred different ones generally like that!

Very cool.
