The single unknown might be IHC. If so it should have # 260 on it.

The monkey wrench with the looped rod handle looks like IHC but should have markings on it.

I think the Monkey with the looped handle is a VandeGrifts patent.  Patent #589765.

I like the Nash, if its for sale and it cheap I would buy it
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

The "Auto-Kit" looks Indestro made.

Auto kit tools and Indestros do have a smilar design. I think the "hole" at the end of the auto kit wrenches make them different from Indestros..... but they do have a very similar style.

Hey Bird, I had to go back and check to be certain, but, there's some holes in 'em.

If you search "JP Danielson" on this site, you'll see a couple of other examples. The folks at the AA website apparently went through the same bit of detective work, they came up with JP Danielson as the maker of the Auto Kit wrenches, and so far, they are sticking to it.

The hole in the middle is important. It is part of what Danielson had a patent on....the holder, not the wrenches themselves....

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Wish I had a lathe. That pin looks like a good project. Maybe I can whittle one while I wait for my lathe to fall from the sky.

A real machinist would use a drill press and a boring bar...(Ducking)

It would be an interesting thing to make, I can't for the life of me imagine why they made something so simple into such a complicated part, a bolt would have been a lot cheaper to make...

The Husky looks like an old valve stem wrench, or possibly an early refer. wrench. What are the numbers on it?
