Sorry! I don't find anything in Rathbone's on any of those 5 wrenches. 2 on the right look to be some type of buggy or wagon wrench.

The bottom one in the close up photo is for a studebaker 1914-37.  I have a few photos i will have to check the rest.

here is a link for a kit that sold recently on ebay.
