Who likes old FORD tools?

[DoubleA]

I do. This is my grandfathers collection, he passed them along to me a couple years ago. I believe they are mostly from estate and garage sales. They are one of my most prized possessions and this is the first time I've ever shown them to anyone. I figured there might be guys here who would appreciate them as I do. If you have any info you could give me on any of the tools that would be great!

When my grandfather was young he modified and raced his ford coupe. He left me a model of his ford and a black and white photo of him leaning up against his coupe. When I build my own shop I will buy and restore a ford coupe just like his.

Thanks for sharing. I've never seen a Ford collection like that and was expecting just a few wrenches.

Is that an oil can in the upper right of the first photo?

Cool story bro. Usually I don't mean that, this time I do! Nice collection and the fact that you can tie them to him makes it even better.

Really cool, I would build a nice wall cabinet with a glass front to display them nicely.

Very nice collection

From time to time I visit with a tool seller that has a few buckets of old Ford tools, funny I never buy any (running out of room to store things); between tons of hammers, screwdrivers,ratchets and the like my small room gets filled up rather fast.

Thanks for the kind words guys. And I would love to make a cabinet to display them in.

Yes, it is an oil can. there is a close up of it in the 9th pic down.

Very nice. Being a ford guy I know I would be proud to own them. Mike

Wow, that's awesome! I've had my hands on a few... Sold the pliers in pic #4 recently, just cleaned up a wrench identical to the ones in #3 for my buddy, and sold another wrench that I don't see as well.

Nice collection your grandpa left you! Treasure it! I have a couple of dozen or so Ford wrenches. It's fun collecting them one by one as I find them at yard and estate sales!

[24ModelTFord]

Very nice collection. I'm suprised that he didn't have the plow wrench with the measurments on it as well.

Would it be possible to scan the black and white photograph and show it here?
