I have a old 1/2x9/16 wrench that was my Grandpa's and I was wondering if it was one of the original from an ol chevy.I know they use to supply a bag of tool with the vehicle just not sure if this is one or not.
Here are the pics and drawing of the stamped emblems. Any help would be appreciated.

If you look in my picture folders you will see the AD factory tools I have owned or obtained photos of I have not seen this before. The factory tools are Vlcheck or McKaig-Hatch in my experience.

Mike,

That appears to be a Bonney Forge & Tool Works tool post wrench.

If you want to learn more about old wrenches, there's a great web site called Alloy Artifacts It's where I looked up the patent stamp/trademark on your wrench.

The "25F" is the old way ("Standard") to identify wrenches before they just labeled them with the sizes.

Nice wrench!

John

Here is a photo of the McKaig-Hatch wrenches used in at least 47-55 Advance-Design tool kits (standard through '48, but an accessory from 49-55). A few slides earlier in that album is a photo of a complete tool kit (I do not know if this is a McKaig-Hatch or Vlchek kit).

There was no adjustable wrench in the 47-55 tool kit; and, the plug socket would have matched the size of spark plug for that year (duh).

I have been having all kinds of trouble with my photo links at that site. One whole folder is missing I will see if I can figure it out and repost.
