Battery side terminal wrench

 Just the thing if you changed a lot of GM side terminal batteries, I guess...  I didn't feel the need to buy it. 

Schumacher Electric, in business since 1947,  is still around in the battery charger/ jump starter business. 

Herbie 2.0

 I wonder how many people on the road actually get the reference here. And yes it was an "old guy" driving...

Sidchrome Whitworth wrench

Here's a Whitworth 1/4-5/16" wrench, Interesting that only one end is marked on each side.

 In 1931 Royston Siddens founded a metal casting company in Melbourne, Australia making hardware items for cabinet makers. During WW2 the company expanded into drop forging for military production and postwar, started producing a line of mechanics hand tools under the Sidchrome name.

 Eventually the business was passed along to the son, and in 1991 was acquired by Stanley tools. Within a few years the production was moved to Taiwan. The Sidchrome company continues today.

Cast iron axe

 Another tool store find. This is an odd little decorative thing, the handle is 8 " long. No identification on it, or course.

Castrol wins!
