I'd say that's pushing it a bit. They aren't that uncommon and they are all the same size. The one good thing they have going for them is they don't have any owners marks except for the yellow paint which can be dealt with. I wouldn't give more than $10 for them and that I think is being generous.

I have always known these, and have always heard them referenced as Nash Motors wrenches. Never knew of Nash Pumps till now. With just a quick look most any reference to Nash Pump wrenches is for Bonney single end service wrenches marked for Nash pumps.

I'd have to say they are overpriced. 20 bucks might be a fair price for a set of three of different sizes.  You could sell them but you have to keep in mind that there aren't a whole lot of Nash owners, and a lot of them probably already have some wrenches.  They would sell on ebay for minimal prices (I sold one or two).
