I understand that these were part of the motor cycle dispatch riders tool kit. It is in good order moves freely and the jaws close square and square http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WW2-Adjustable-spann...%3A1|240%3A1318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father owned a ex army 16H Norton and one of these spanners was part of the toolkit. The spanner is probably still in my parents garage.

Guest Gramps Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hmmm - I have, or had two of these, a large one and a small one; but they were in a RN Shipwright's toolkit I purchased about 40 years ago. Must have a clear-out in the shed when it warms up a bit. That one spanner went for £16.99 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardB Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 My Father had one, never looked quite as clean as this one, must be the 50 years plus oil and grime combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
