Does anybody know what original T-1349 wrenches are worth? They do have the triangular mark below the script and part #

It would help if extra information was given. Not all of us are familiar with part numbers.

Hub cap wrench. The flat thingy with the holes for cap, axle bearing cone, nut rear axle nut or drain plug, the universal tool for the universal car :D

You can get used for $2 or new reproductions from Lang’s for $6.45 plus shipping.

What Dan said. $2 at a swap meet. They were made by various companies and have different markings, or often no markings at all.

Has anybody ever made a tool display box with the correct tools?

Yes,though it's usually an original style roll, not a box.

Tool sets vary by year. Some pictures are here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27373

I found one out by my well house... strangely enough, I couldn't find the one which usually lives in my tool box, and one appeared out of nowhere. I've tried removing hubcaps using "modern" tools, and that gentle oblique curve on the "inside" of the 1349 matches the oblique curve on the hubcap...

Of all the T tools, it is probably one of the more necessary tools - nothing even comes close to fitting the hubcaps, and you need that to keep your front hub bearings flushed and greased and happy...

And then there are the tools that are for display only: Ford tire irons and that "screwdriver" mashed onto the end of the pliers handle. :)

I am on the road returning from the Ballarat swap meet, so I am away from my reference sources. Now I know what the tool is, the value question answer is quite open

I have never seen an original tool like the odd shaped item that is the very early hubcaps wrench. I have found a three hole item that is part of my 1912 van toolkit. It is the only one I have ever seen that I could purchase. While it was a $2 swap meet purchase, it is worth way in excess of that.

The four hole ones are much more plentiful. I feel those at swap meets for $5 - 8. However, at the Ballarat meet I sold a new old stock nickel plated Mossberg tool with the four flanges holes for $20.

That $20 would be almost $15 USD, $18.40 Canadian, or £10.80 GBP.:)
