Picked up a couple of Kent Moore tools in an antique shop in Utah this week. Didn't know what they were as they were wrapped in tape to the point that ID not possible.
First is Kent Moore N362 open end wrench with 3 inch opening across flats.
Second is Bonney 6167 on one side and Kent Moore KMO 965 on reverse side.
Looking for what these guys are used for.

I cant help, but if you bang away at Google long enough, their use will appear.
I have boxes and boxes of KM tools, and I get discouraged each time I walk by them.

This won't help much, but...
Neither appears in the 1950 general catalog, price list, nor in any of the suppliments I have. From the number sequence tho, both were probably obsolete by 1950.
all KMO prefixed numbers are general purpose (not vehicle specific) shop tools.
N prefix numbers are somewhat rare and don't follow any pattern I can discern.
Wild guesses....top - hub wrench??? , bottom - gauge for something.....

Packing nut wrenches?

The top one reminds me quite a lot of the shape of the fuel gauge sending unit of a 1920s Chevrolet I once owned. The tank sat in back of the body, just a little bit behind the bumper. The fill neck and gauge sender were in the open.

A packing nut wrench makes sense for the top one , it's open to go around a shaft.
I'm guessing your looking for the specific application.
I had a Kent-Moore catalog that showed the stock number with application,
I have sold that , but thats what you need to ID it.
