1915 tool set
Just posting this as a reference.
Collecting tools is a never ending process. Collecting tools to a year specific compilation is a Don Quixote task also. Here’s my completed ‘1915’ pouch and the like.
Was fun collecting…may need an adjustment or two as time goes on...took over a year. Lots of help and support from a whole bunch of forum guys…Thanks to all

Re: 1915 tool set
The Holy Grail there is the screwdriver. Very few have survived. I consider one of the tools issued with every car suitable for display only. The little Ford tire irons make changing clincher tires the job from Hell. 24" HF irons are inexpensive and provide plenty of leverage. The #1917 band adjusting wrench works, but the 5Z-826 ratchet used in Ford shops is less tedious to use.

Re: 1915 tool set
Clamp an ¹¹⁄₁₆" nut face up in a vise with enough protruding to get the wrench on it. Oil the ratchet generously and work it loose.

Did it work?

Single is later. It's the one you see in the 8-5-28 parts book. I believe they were first brass, then steel. If you have a brass one it should clean up real pretty.
I carry an electric pump in the car, and this as a backup. It works just like it did a hundred years ago. Gives you plenty of exercise.
