John348 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I have been helping an older member of our club sell off some of his parts and such over the past few years. I was going through a box with a bunch of assorted everything and found these wrenches marked "MAXWELL" anyone know if these are real or repoped? Any idea of a fair value? Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there are any Jack Benny fans around, they might be prospects to pick up a Maxwell souvenir for a few dollars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 All over ebay John- yes they are real and not worth a whole lot. Open the bid at 20.00 and let them go from there..................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I see that the wrenches are labeled simply, "Maxwell-1" and "Maxwell-2," at least on the side we can see. Didn't car companies put the size in inches on the wrenches? Did they give just the few sizes needed for that specific car, or did they provide a full set encompassing all sizes?
