The middle alligator looks unusual to me.  Anybody recognize it?

Interesting, have not seen one like it.

It appears to say "Armstrong Chicago", and the flat end would hint at a tire tool....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

I have not seen that one either, and I have a "few" alligator wrenches.

Anyone here intending to bid? I put them on my watch list and if no one else is interested, I'll bid later.

Is it just me or are others irritated by poorly lighted Ebay photos taken with cheap cell phones?
