Looks like an instant collection of nice old monkey wrenches plus at least one auto wrench (probably Vlchek) and a pipe wrench. It will be nice to see them all laid out. Here are a few of mine.

It is probably easier to sort them by manufacturer and then post what you found.

Hi Everyone. New to the forum. I go by T-rex.  I had a call from a lady yesterday asking if I would be interested in some wrenches. I'm  a curious guy so I went and looked at them.. I came home with a pile. I will spend a couple of days sorting them. Any hints on what to look for that might beof interest or value. Thanks, Larry

This wrench recently arrived from my tool buddy in New Zealand. He found it at a sale in Christchurch. May have belonged to one of Bill’s or my distant relatives. The last picture is my King Dick collection.

Friday's estate sale buy.  Four packs of coping.blades in assorted TPI.  Champion Plugmaster II 3/8 ratchet.  Crescent L-28 thin nose pliers, Plomballoy 10-inch adjustable wrench, Lufkin X686 round tape measure. S-K and Snap-On sockets, Dunlap stubby screwdriver, Utility ratcheting screwdriver, and a General No. 301 pocket depth gage.   I've been looking for a Plombaloy adjustable wrench for a long time.  To me, it is one of those iconic marketing names that is synonymous with the Plomb tool line. All for $8.

Good looking vise & you even have the wrench!  I'll never understand how so many of them are missing.

General Discussion / Re: Made Pad For Milwaukee Orbital Sander

Update for anyone else who owns one of these old Milwaukee Sanders. I was concerned about the Neoprene holding up, so I looked into alternatives to that Red material that came with OEM. I eventually learned, in fact I was told by someone knowledgeable, that I should try to rescue the Red material and use that. It separated off about as easy as peeling a tangerine. Bonded it on. I don't know what his Red stuff is, but it sure seems indestructible.
