Those were made by Barcalo. About half are unmarked.

Yes, Barcalo for sure.

Regardless of maker, they're stylin' wrenches.

Does anyone know what sizes they offered. I had what I thought might have been a full set and then I found a 1 1/8" x 1"?

When Twertsy’s Tool Archives site went down, I lost access to the Barcalo catalogs he had downloaded but I believe that he is making progress in getting it going again. My NOS unmarked set goes from 3/8” to 1 “ but they obviously made larger ones.

alloyartifacts refers to them as having a geometric pattern.

I took another look and the big wrench with the "geometric pattern" that I recently found is a 1 1/8" x 1 1/16".
