I don't collect them but do have one.  It's the only one I've ever seen.  It happens to be an unplated DOE.

The wrenches numbered one through three are for Nash automobiles.  Others are  I believe  are for a Nash water pump company.
I have seen the set for the autos sell anywhere between 10 and 25 dollars on eBay.  I do not know how  collectible they are.  I also have a Nash number 2 wrench un-plated doe.

Thanks,

I think the only wrench I have including "Nash"  is a Bonney  wrench  "Nash-se285"  on the other side it reads "9417-chrome-vandium"
Anyone have any input?

I have a collection of Nash wrenches, 1's, 2's, and 3's.   The 2's are distinctive in that two of them have an inverted "A" in the Nash boss.

A no. 1 DOE NASH was donated to the Kiwanis sale this week. Shows traces of black enamel or japanning.

My uncle collected Metropolitan Nash cars.  At one time he had approximately 25.  The convertibles were restored and several of the hard tops in yellow and white were in great shape. There is a red and white Metro running around my neighborhood on nice weather weekends. Reminds me of my uncle and his quirky collection.

Loved the looks of the little Metro, but heard that they had a problem with wheels falling off.
