What to do with old Ford wrenches

[CCWKen]

The adjustable and maybe a few open-ends date back to the Ford Model T era (1909-1927). Add "Model T tools" to the descriptions and you should get some responses. I know a lot of Model T guys that are trying to complete a tool kit or collect them. Post pictures or the numbers on the wrenches.

Here's an example of the tools included with a 1914 Model T.

One thing missing on the list is baling wire.

I've got some old wrenches that came with Ford cars back in the day - monkey wrenches, open ended wrenches, a ratcheting band wrench. I've listed them on eBay for a long time and no takers, even for $5.

What would be a good way to dispose of them short of selling them for scrap?

I actually prefer those parallel jaw wrenches to the regular adjustable ones. each of my tool boxes has one.

agreed many old ford tractor / car owners will likely buy these at shows. 2$ for regular or plow wrenches, and 5$ for adjustable.. and 2$ for screwdrivers and 2-3$ for the pliers with screwdrive tipped handle is about what I see for old ford tools at shows.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if they were from a Model T and was reluctant to say so. Figured T owners would know.

but I don't own a Ford

LOL They work on everything Ford or not, even metric nuts and bolts.

You might try listing them in the ads section of an antique tractor forum or as a lot on Ebay or Craig's list.

Those are Model A Ford wrenches... the adjustable one is for a 30-31 Model A because it has the added 4 point on the wrench end to check the differential oil.

With over 5 million Model A and something like 15 million Model T Fords makes for a lot of wrenches.

The show guys all look for perfect unused wrenches that match the month of their show car.

I would not throw them away... or if you do... let me know how many you have and throw them my way in a flat rate USPS box...

I would say use them but they're obviously SAE and I only use metric adjustable wrenches now
