Post by: snapmom on December 30, 2023, 12:27:36 PM

AT9368 Packard Built Rolls Royce Engine Tool kit.  Merlin 68-69
Most of the tools are Whitworth,  a couple of AF and a metric.  All USA makers, several mfgs.
This set is short two tools.  Its a hard set to finish.  I started this cause I collect Blue Point and SO whitworth tools

Where did you find such a unique thing?      Any special markings on the wrenches?
