HK500 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I'm trying to identify this tool tray - magneto tool makes it likely 1920 or older? It has an aluminum base or tray, and the tool names are American, "NY & NJ Lubricant Co" on the greaser, and Truffault-Hartford shock tool. Any ideas out there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The shocks should help narrow it down. Nice set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gillingham Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Eisemann magnetos weren't used on that many vehicles in the US. A few that were are Biddle, Crane-Simplex, Holmes, Mercer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Eisemann mags on: FWD trucks CARS: Apperson Dixie Flyer Dodge Dupont Kissel Locomobile and more. That is a carbide tank wrench beside the brass greaser. So probably from a vehicle with gas lamps.

30DodgePanel Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The pump was patented June 27th 1911 if that helps narrow it down EJECTING-CONTAINER. - NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY LUBRICANT COMPANY (freepatentsonline.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Ron, My info shows Eisemann magnetos on Kissels: 1915-1917 Model 6-42 Also shown is Westinghouse so maybe magneto was an option or for export. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The wrench at the far right is made like an oversized Allen wrench- assuming the large open end is for the hubcaps that wrench was made to remove the spark plugs and valve covers of a jug style cylinder. Does anyone know a car that used hex style covers and the other equipment mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagefinds Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 The little wrench under the brass injector pump is typical of the type used to turn a Prestolite bottle on and off which may help date the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HK500 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thanks everybody for this info - lots of detail and helps get in the range of cars and dates that might have used these tools! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I reckon this is a toolkit for a Packard, with the tool on the far right with the hex being the hubcap wrench. I've found these photos of a 1911 Model 30 that looks similar. I've found that the 1911's used an Eisemann magneto and had Hartford shock absorbers. I'm not sure what other years used an Eisemann, but the Hartford's were used on other year Packards in this period. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gillingham Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Looking at the parts book again, I haven't got that correct. The tool on the far right is for the valve plugs. The large open end wrench is for the hub cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon to go on Ebay so someone who needs it can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
