Vintage wrench information needed

[Rob]

I am hoping that some of you have connections with vintage tool crowd and can direct me to the right site. I came upon this collection of old, vintage and antique wrenches ...about 150 of them...does anyone know of websites devoted to vintage wrench collecting.

There are a lot more wrenches than the ones that I am showing in these photos...These photos show only about half the number of wrenches that I found. Many are old American, but Whitworth and some metric and unmarked as well.

The short answer is no, but looking at the sizes and types you may find useful information on classic motorbike/car sites. These guy are generally very knowledgable a all the different nuts and bolts that were used and the asssociated wrench/spenners. The bottom item is often called a pin spanner (also other names) and is used on large Diammeter thin nut. the pin fits into a hole or slot in the outter rim of the nut, this type of nut is often used in pairs to ajust and lock taper rolling bearings

you can use that last one to adjust the ride height of coil over shocks too...like atv applications.
