Unknown Tools 3

Recommended Posts

Ok...here I go. I bought a few leather tool lots from ebay and they arrived today. Most of the items are what I knew I was getting and paid for. There are a few items I am questioning though. All in all it was well worth the money though. I am going to have to do this in four posts to get them all.

G. This is some kind of wrench. Reminds me of a chainsaw wrench.

H&I. These appear to be stamps but they are made of plastic.

I think the wrench may be a bicycle wrench.

In photographs #2 & #3 you are a plastic stamping tool set made by 'Carver Tools." There is actually a swivel knife and booklet that is available.

Enjoy!

TomG thank you...I didn't even think about that since it was in with leather tools.

King's X...I tried looking up carvers tools to learn some more about the company. I couldn't find a site for them. Do you have a link for them?

There is no link that I am aware of. I believe they are out of production and no longer in business. You can find all of the items on eBay.

Carver tools were made by the Kelly Tool Co in New Zealand, I've got the set that had the swivel knife in it mine also came with the pamphlet and small booklet as well. Like King's X said they come up on Ebay quite a bit especially the Australian site.

Does that first one fit a spark plug? I have had motorcycles that had small tool kits come with them and they had similar items in the toolkit.

I would lean towards part of a motorcycle tool kit!

terrypen that is possible...like I said I wasn't sure but knew it wasn't for leather.

cem...I looked that company up...couldn't find these tools but sent them a message. I am a very curious person and will keep looking till I get answers...lol

Carver tools was an attempt by the Kelly Tool company to introduce low cost stamping/tooling kits for beginners. The tools were made out of a nylon and fiber glass blend which lowered the barrier of entry to leather crafting. They were around from the late 70's to the mid 80's. Value wise, a set like yours usually goes for 10-15 bucks and sometimes more with the swivel knife. I normally see the instruction pamphlet and books go for way more than the tools.
