Re: Aftermarket Ford wrench? More Oro car tools

The Oro* brand appears, along with others (I have found Simmons Hardware, Le Compte Cycle Car Co., and Buffum Tools editions of these tools), on combination spark plug-headbolt wrenches.  The Oro brand also appears on the distinctively surfaced valve adjustment tool (see picture below).

*An Au -to Compressor Co. brand name

WM, your tool looks a lot like a valve spring tool. Kinda like the Perfect Handle valve spring tool.  The holes are for the chain to hook in and the 'C' goes under the valve with clearance to take out the keeper.

I stumbled upon an ad for the wrench -- & stuck a copy in FLICKR.

Patent office trademarks has some interesting hints also (what a strange combination of things to group under a trademark)
