I've had them on eBay for months. Can't get $5.

Try RELISTING them for $50.

The screwdriver was deleted during the Model T era and the pliers were changed to have one handle end flattened to use as a screwdriver. The original screwdriver is one of the hardest tools to find and many just got tossed into someone's tool box instead of being put back into the tool roll. There are many look-a-likes but the original is worth perhaps $20 or more. They are rare.

The 26-27 Model Ts also had a socket head plug for checking the rear end grease. There were many Ford car and tractor tools made by different manufacturers and sold by Ford to dealers and customers. Most, but not all, will have the Ford script and number forged into the tool. Many of these tools are very rare and collectable. While some of the wrenches can be had at flea-market prices, many are worth much more. It's knowing what you have that makes the difference.

Here's another sample:

I've got one of the Model A wrenches. It sits in one of my tool boxes and gets used once in a blue moon. It does not look new by any stretch so I figured it was not of any interest to the collectors.

OP here. Someone here PM'd me and I told them they could have the wrenches for shipping. They generously kicked in a few more bucks. I'm happy, I hope they are, too..
