I'm having a sort out of about 500 spanners

For the most part, whitworth and bsf arent worth much but i find theres a few interesting ones now and again

Theres a few ive got made by GARRINGTON which are really nicely made and are named 'merlin' 'kestrel' 'magpie' etc

some polish ones i own are very hefty and unbreakable, i like elora spanners for feel and i have lots of britool, snail and other interesting makes that are gone

are there any spanners worth something? i.e. size / brand / model etc etc

Sometimes those spanners branded with a car maker's name, or a military legend, can be worth a few quid a time. When I get a mo I'll take some photos of a few; best find to date for me was an adjustable spanner with Indian (motorcycles) on it. Smile
