Me either. Note the 3/8 square nub on the handle痴 end for drain plug or?

Typically Ford Script wrenches were part of a tool kit... going back as far as Model T days and forward.

The square fits the differential banjo drain and fill plugs... many a time I have checked of Ford banjos for 600W oil by removing the fill plug and using my finger to check level...

The factory tool kit for my Model A was very useful... change spark plugs, tighten head stud nuts, adjust bearings, adjust brakes, tight water pump packing... etc...

40x120 with at least a 12' lien to on one side would have me set for life... really!

Throw in some skylights and finished/insulated walls with a large gable end door and I just might never come out!!!

I saw an ad captioned “antique tool”. Initially I only wanted it for the cast iron base but it turned out to be in perfect working condition so not sure what to do now.

Dang, Terry! Where are you finding this stuff? On second thought... maybe a good thing I have a day job and don't have time to hunt.

Here's where I could use some antique tool identification help!
My grandfather next door on farm was a machinist, mechanical engineer, then M.D., D.O.
I've had these for years, know what most are except punches, one has ********, one a firebird, etc. The KD tool I'm not sure what it's for.
The craftsman wooden tool box I bought 40 years ago full of tools listed in newspaper for $35.

Fuddy lots of cool stuff there. That Craftsman machinist chest is stellar!

The second pic from bottom kinda looks like a plate clamp.

I’m assuming the numbers in your user name are YOB? If so I’m a year older than you
