Re: Tool identification
Looks like a box wrench, and an adjustable wrench.

Re: Tool identification
What is the dimension of the opening of the open end wrench. Looks like it might be 9/16 or 5/8 in.

Re: Tool identification
Axle nut is 15/16. that would have been my guess on that tool.

Re: Tool identification
15/16" is most likely spot on. Pics of the assembly line anyone? Would be easy to see. It's a foot long.speedytinc wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 10:59 pmAxle nut is 15/16. that would have been my guess on that tool.

Re: Tool identification
The adjustable wrench is typically English. Just as USA adjustable wrenches are universally referred to as crescent wrenches, these are called King Dick spanners, even though there were many other brands. If that is a faint FORD script on the head, it is most likely for a later English import car. I have a FORD script English made T model adjustable wrench and it is the same type as those used in USA and Canada.

Re: Tool identification
If it is truly 1" then it is for the rear spring perch nut and is probably a 3Z-634, 3Z-629, or 5Z-197. Since it is clearly not a "197" number, I'd suspect it's the 3Z tool. I'm pretty sure that is the only 1" nut on the car.

Re: Tool identification
The first wrench looks like it could be agriculture related. Tractors, plows, and various types of other farm related equipment had all kinds of different tools that were general purpose in the Model T -A era. Lots of old tools usually wind up as general purpose since they could be used on different types of equipment areound the farm or workshop.

Re: Tool identification
As others have posted, it is a Ford script Z wrench but the three digit number is not very legible due to corrosion.
I have rotated the photo so the Ford script, Z and are upright and easier comprehend.

Re: Tool identification
Conjecture on the auction catalog was these were made by students at Henry's tradeschool. Did a bunch of googling. Haven't found anything like it.Allan wrote: ↑Sat May 08, 2021 11:21 pmThe adjustable wrench is typically English.

Re: Tool identification
To my eyes the Ford script look both right and wrong on the adjustable wrench, maybe just a little off. There was a company called Ford that made tools but was not related to Ford Motor Company or Henry Ford. Am not sure what type face font they used, don't know if it was script or block letters.

Re: Tool identification
If that’s a Ford wrench it must have been a factory or dealership shop wrench.

Re: Tool identification
Some better pictures.
Could very well be shop built. A few obvious machining imperfections.
