Hey Al. Nice haul! That Angle Divider is a very handy layout tool, probably designed for woodworkers, but I am sure it would come in handy for a welder , or, fabricator! Similar in design to the Stanley No.30, looks like yours is complete!!

You did good.  The IHC wrench was one of many included with a planter or binder, because before WWII farmers did not have many wrenches.  There are books one could look up the numbers to find what it was for.  I sort of collect Wizard WA wrenches

John, I saw a Wizard wrench there, but do not know if it was WA.  Have you got a picture?

The angle divider splits an angle in half, telling you miter cut you need to make.  You can set it into a corner, tighten the nut, and use it for direct layout on the molding/baseboard/etc. you're fitting into the corner.
