I had these out because I,m going to give a talk about them to our local car club. These have never been something I really intended to collect, but the collection has reached 37. All shown are different although some appear similar. I picked up a box lot of them at the recent MVWC auction in Troy for $5.00 and it contained eight that I didn't have. Yes, I collect anything!!

Somebody needs to collect them,
cause they won't collect themselves!!!
That is a nice collection!!!

I don't know...for some items, I'm convinced the tools find a quiet corner in which to gather and hide out, coming out only when the estate gets sold off.

I only have three anymore. A Craftsman C clamp style for modern overhead valve engines, one for inline flathead engines and a Perfect Handle model like yours for Ford flathead V8's. I do need to buy one for working on small engines like Briggs and Stratton, Clinton and other flatheads.

Do you have the "valve tools XTRA" I did for the MVWC Newsletter a couple years back? & did that box include the 5-z-319 Model T "service tool" valve spring compressor? I took pictures of that one & it will be in the Dec. Newsletter . As far as collectors, Jim Keats had a sizeable collection displayed a decade or so ago at a fall MVWC meet in Baraboo, WI . Some of the valve tools patents are in DATAMP.

Skip--That one is different, have never seen it.

I do have the valve tools extra you printed several years ago. And, Yes, the box did contain the 5-z-319 Model T service tool.

Very nice collection coolford! I have nothing at all like those, so once again, I’m just a spectator in this thread. I will say however, you really are a collector of everything!

Foe sure …. more that one way to skin a cat. I like the one with the hook and chain, should work great on a flat head like my Model A .

So far it only exists as a part of the 2016 MVWC Newsletter back file. There have been quite a few other valve tool pieces scattered through the newsletter since then as well. So it is more of a jumping off place than anything.
If I get time later in December, I could scan the pages, convert the scans to .jpg & post them as an "album" in FLICKR -- that's what I did a few years ago with "Antique & Unusual Wrenche." & then dig out the other valve tools pieces that have been in the newsletter since & add them to that same "album." Right now I'm trying to get the December MVWC Newsletter wrapped up, & have a couple local community related projects -- a service club annual soup dinner / supper being the biggest of those -- to keep me busy the next couple of weeks.
