Williams logo changed a few times over the early years.
What era are you looking for?
AA has some info regarding the various logos.

I'd like to help but I'm unclear as to what exactly we are seeking here.

21 23 25 are standard industry sizes so I need to know  which logo style

75A and 79C I have no idea.. curved wrenches maybe?

83B is curved 7/8 x 1, correct?

these need to be in original paint and not worn?

I'm not being a hard head here, just want to search for the right things
