Title: old wrenches from auction
Post by: skipskip on August 29, 2011, 07:51:53 PM

This weekend's auction was only old stuff, some of it I hadn't seen before.

Old family home, closed up for some time. My buddy bought the family car.. a 1924 Studebaker!!

any help with wrench  or tool ID appreciated.

Ooh,ooh...are those hex drive sockets near the old crate?? How about a closeup of them. I'm looking for a few specific ones, with sizes marked like this (9-16, 11-16, etc) with a wide knurling band on them and a chamfered edge. I just picked up a HOL-SET 1/2" hex drive speeder that uses them for cheap.

Nice haul, Skip! I see some nice screwdrivers, a caulk wrench, gas pliers, and some really nice old wrenches in the mix. You did good!!

The two wood handled screwdrivers with the square shafts resemble the ones for the studebaker your friend bought.  I would need better photos and lengths.  one of them looks like the handle has been shortened.

Thanks,
Kirk

Third one over from the right on the bottom row is a Mossberg #207, I think. 3/4 by 7/8 .

One of the screwdrivers is missing most of the wood.

The Studebaker had been "converted"   into a machine to hoist hay bales into the barn.

Kind of an upscale doodlebug.

Sorry! I don't find anything in Rathbone's on any of those 5 wrenches. 2 on the right look to be some type of buggy or wagon wrench.

The bottom one in the close up photo is for a studebaker 1914-37.  I have a few photos i will have to check the rest.

here is a link for a kit that sold recently on ebay.
