Swap meet finds.

At a local swap meet last weekend I found these treasures to add to my swap meet stocks.
The two Standex fuel gauges I think are new old stock, but the mice have done a number on the cork floats. That's an easy fix. The shifter is of the English style King Dick. It is USA made, produced some time between 1915 and 1926. The other tool is for adjusting transmission bands, largely unusable on our RHD cars. With just the first gear band adjustable from the inside, the required tool must have an offset to clear the sides of the trans cover opening. The odd shaped end will fit the external adjusters, but so will an ordinary wrench.
