I'd be interested in the brake adjusting wrench. The long 8 point box wrench in the second photo from the bottom. It's the grey looking one on the left in the photo.
You can PM me.
Thanks

Lostmind, you beat me to the punch there... That brake wrench sure reeks of early Plomb.  I was going to speak in it's defense and offer it a new home.  :grin:
It doesn't have any manufacturers marks on it. It's got a 1/2" and 7/16" size on it, the 7/16" shows some wear, while the other end has clearly never been used. But, Lost Mind does have dibs on it :P I'll get back to him on it shortly.

Twilight, I'd be happy to put that Proto hammerhead back into service!
I figured the Proto stuff would catch somebodies eye :P I'll respond to your PM shortly as well...

In the bottom picture, the bottom tool is a can opener with a bottle cap lifter on the back side; the swivel head "socket wrenches" immediately above are handles for the valves on old fuel delivery trucks  (WHEATON was a primary maker of the valves ).  Is there any maker name or mark on the locking pliers?  It is not a VISE-GRIP but there were lots of copycats after initial patents expired in the mid 1940s.
Neat :3 Thanks for the info.

The locking pliers are stamped "WestCraft Loc-Grip"

I like the wooden marking gauge.  Is it up for grabs?
Sure. Don't think it's any use to me. Can't even forge anything out of it :P

lol, I'm gonna have to find a lot of little boxes XD

Any of the sweetheart era tools are pricey. But Stanley just ruined that for the casual collector. They are remaking them. I saw the planes at Woodcraft. Premium price even for reproductions.

Twilight, she is good for that brace if you want to sell it.

The bottom wrench in the second picture, the one that has kinda' an oversize opening (left end) is a tool that came with a Ford Model T. I used to know, but have forgotten what that oversize end fits... something that requires but little torque... maybe something on the magneto??? anyone know? is there a "Ford" name , maybe "circle M"

Unfortunately it's already been gifted to my mother for her historical reenactments... If I stumble into owning an older one,  I could swap it out. So, I'll keep you in mind Bird :)
