Ford tools
My dad's buddy was looking through his old stuff and found these wrenches with ford stamped in them. The only other time Ive seen these were in a magazine welded to a door handle on an old T bucket. Anyone know anything about these wrenches?

I seem to recall my grandfather telling me once that he had a set of wrenches that were provided by Ford, in some fashion, to be used in servicing the Model A...
If memory serves me right, I think the one I saw was considerably larger than the ones in your picture...

What size wrenches are those?
Back in the 40s when Ford and Willis built M series jeep vehicles (I'm not calling them Jeeps, becuase they weren't Jeeps at the time) They were full time 4x4 unless you took the hubs off the front axle and put a plate in their place.(Later Warn made locking hubs for them). Anyways, Ford and Willis provided wrenches to take the hubs off and put the plates on.
I don't know if these are the wrenches for that purpose.

I've seen something like this at antique tractor shows. At the last one I was at, a guy had a big display board with all kinds of old unique tools from various tractor manufacturers. It seems that John Deere, International Harvester and Ford, among others, made tools just for their farm equipment.

Ford released a set of tools standard when you bought the Model T, the Model A, or a Ford Tractor in the 1930's. These tools came in a wooden box for general road side maintenance, and I have a very rare(or so I believe, I cant find a picture of it anywhere online) 9" Wrench with the Ford script on the top of it. I just recently got it and restored it, it looks much better than when I got it, and I do not plan on ever using it. I think it will join my extra set of ratchets in my tool box
