flea market wrench

[tahoe healey]

I found a wrench marked made in England on one side and Shelley on the other. One end is marked 5/8" A/F and 9/16 A/F on the other. What British car is it off of and what does A/F stand for? Other markings are 204/8 and 8PU. Not knowing what it was, I gave the guy $3.00.

The steel itself maybe worth more ;-)

Look here and maybe feel lucky

$3.00 is good

Don't know what car it may be for

A/F means "Across Flats"

Shelley made the (more or less useless) jacks for the Healey so it may be from a Healey kit.

Thanks, I would have never figured what A/F meant. This is seven or eight inches long and is heavy so I guess it would be worth some as scrap.

It probably looks like this one!

Shelley made tools of all sorts, mainly for car tool kits. I have a Shelley screwdriver among my old tools.

That is it exactly except mine looks unused.

:blush: My brain must have been in stand by mode
Reading "wrench" thinking about a jack.

Bought a Shelley jack myself this weekend ...

Tahoe,
It looks like you could fetch $9 on Ebay and use the $6 profit for a new tool to remove your broken wheel spoke.

Nah, I was thinking of having it mounted in the boot in glass saying in case emergency break glass.
