What are the crow foot looking things i the last pic? Are they all linked together?
-
That is an impressive assortment for a non collector. A great number of things that we don't get to see over hear in the colonies. Thanks for the photos Benjy.

Must be "Caterpillar" crowsfeet!
Serious question: it that some sort of socket rail?
-
It is a set of wrenches that are linked together. You keep turning to get to the size you want and the rest of them make the handle.
Looks like you are missing a Swinden quick adjust. It is a UK patent from around 1905 if I remember correctly.

A curiosity only, they never worked very well, and broke easily.

papaw is correct,,they would work,but more a novelty,,i also have the original box for them somewhere
-
Nice collection!
What's an "Alderman"? Are any of those Australian, benjy?
-
the alderman is a mossberg,as is the one to its left,,not an aussie one in the bunch,i dont think i ever had one.

to wrenchmensch...1930...and bus.. i will deal with your requests as soon as i can,,i have been told to stay off my ankle for a couple of days,(argument with a tractor )..the wife wont let me near the shed (

Something about those adjustables, they can accumulate. I didn't think I had near this many of them either. Just one in the basement, 2 on the bench, uh, 4 on the wall. 2 on the tractor etc. In this pile is a black iron Diamond I bought on my foster grandfathers auction 37 years ago. Jaws are twice the thickness of newer adjustables. Benjy mind that ankle.
