Monday Mystery; Compact wrench set

This looks like a nice little emergency set of wrenches to throw in a glove compartment or? The mystery comes in when trying to find anything about the manufacturer, L and R Mfg., New York.

Nothing comes to light in a Google search, my guess is it was a small company on Long Island who, after the close of WW2, lost their market for the airplane parts they made and tried to make their fortune from one of the guys' ideas...  Any information/corrections welcome!
