Any body know what the pin in the Blackhawk wrench was used for?

Lost,

That's so you can hang the wrench on your pegboard.  It's so obvious.

Picked up some cool looking old wrenches today. This area of tool collecting is really out of my realm, but I do like some of the unique designs. As this seems to be the place for the expert wrench collectors, could you please tell me if there is anything here that's special, or do I just have a small pile of some rather common wrenches.

I found the Palm-Grip Ratchet in Nov. 1956 Popular Mechanics pg. 89  ( http://books.google.com/books?id=ouEDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA89&dq=palm%20grip%20ratchet&pg=PA89#v=onepage&q=palm%20grip%20ratchet&f=false ).  Gives me another item for the June MVWC Newsletter.  I may have one myself -- if not can I use your photo?

That's an interesting ad. No problem with using the photo. Got a link to your newsletter?
