Looks like a scaled down early 20's motorcycle, Dad looks very proud. Wonder what the story is.
Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long.

W57 Whitworth wrench
I found this made in Canada Whitworth wrench and wondered what the W57 stands for. It's not the manufacturer's name, we gave a few similar wrenches a hard squint and we think it may be a Gray product. W57 may refer to a designated wrench size, 3/8 and 7/16 BSW, we also found a W59 1/2 and 9/16 BSW (British Standard Whitworth). Any guesses?

Stanley box scapers
These tools are apparently known as box scrapers or shaving planes. Comparing to pictures on ebay, the lower one is probably a No 70, the upper one with the extra knob, I can't find any info on. More research required.
