Unusual Spark Plug Wrench

Post by Mark Osterman » Sat Jul 30, 2022 5:32 pm

Ok, anyone have the story on this spark plug wrench. Fits the T spark plug, head bolt and lug nut but chrome plated and not marked Ford. Looks lime it’s post model T era.

The head bolt end is a little more heavier than an original Ford wrench and overall it looks heavier made. Probably made in the 40’s or 50’s??

There were quite a few aftermarket plug spanners made by outside tool suppliers, Herbrand and Waldren Worcester to name two. Yours is different on the ring end. I think it would be difficult to get it on the two front head bolts adjacent to the water outlet.

Are there any markings other than the sizes and 2525 (not the Ford number)?
