Maytag engine fuel mixing can

Melker adjustable wrench

 Another German manufacturer! Here's a Melker monkey wrench dating from, at a guess, 1900-1920ish... There are a few for sale online but no company info online that I can find.

Speed records, 1955

 Messerschmitt Kabinenroller on route to 3 speed records for sub-250 three wheelers. The modified 200 cc Sachs motor powered this machine to a blistering speed of 65.75 mph over 1000 miles, 65.24 over 2000 km and 64.03 for 24 hours. The driver's name is not mentioned. 

Here's an account of the event (in German).

Know your 1960s snowmobile maintenance

Gee Dee multi-tool

 This is a "Gee Dee" German-made "multi-tool" - in all its glory - the handle is hollow. The head of the hammer unscrews from the handle, and those "bits" are stored inside the handle. Clearly a quality tool set for the professional. 

Thanks, BK!

 Snapped last summer... suddenly it's 1975...
