My dad gave me a random jumble of surplus wrenches/tools when I bought my house to help me get started. Most of it is imported stuff probably from around the 70s, mainly K-mart brand wrenches from Taiwan and some Allenite stuff from Japan. Not top shelf stuff but honestly I remember my dad and I using those and similar tools all throughout my childhood never really having any problem with them.
Anyway I found one random wrench in the bunch that was made in the USA, I am wondering what kind of wrench it is? It's a double open end 1/2 - 9/16 wrench it says "forged in the USA" on it. It has some kind of logo but I don't recognize it I'm sure someone here knows where this tool came from?? Judging by the patina on it I think it is much older than the other wrenches I got it could very well have come from my grandpa's tools.
One other gem I found was an old amber-handled snap-on 1/4" drive socket spinner that was sitting inside a set of 1/4 and 3/8 drive sockets from Taiwan. There is a spot in the case for a spinner handle I guess the original must have gotten lost who knows how a snap-on got in there
