So an older gentlemen came into my shop to check it out a couple weeks ago and he told me he had some tools that he just couldn't get rid of. I told him bring them by and I'll take em. So he brought them and boy was it an one hell of a delivery! Totally bad *** dude! Anyway, there were 3 of these in the buckets he brought

They are all slightly different, but I can't figure what they are. Anyone know?

I believe that those are spoke wrenches used to tighten or loosen spokes on a bicycle or motorcycle rim to make the rim run true.

here is one on ebay

Spoke wrench for tuning the spokes in wire wheels. This one looks like a bicycle spoke wrench.

Yep, spoke wrenches, they are probably different sizes for different sized spokes. I only see one in the 2 photos.

They are definitely spoke wrenches. I haven't used one of those since i was working on bicycles as a kid.

Nice to see a spoke wrench that doesn't have a little "***" of metal at the bottom from the broach like all of mine do.

I remember those from when I was a kid. Oddly enough I think you can still get them at Walmart.
