Case wrenches

[Jack695]

I have questions that I cannot find an answer to in research.
I came across some open end wrenches marked CASE with various number stampings.
I had always heard the company supplied tools with the purchase of a tractor or implements in the old days.
I wondered if there were people who collected these tools and where I might find out more about them, such as the color.
Some of the wrenches I have show traces of a red paint (flambeau?). Does anyone know how I could find out which wrenches and any other
tools were supplied with the VAC? I am currently restoring two of them and it would just tickle me to death to be able to put actual CASE tools in the tool box.
Thanks a million.
Also thank you for all the advice and wisdom I have gained over the years from reading your experiences and commentary.
You really are a very special group.

I have a book that lists CASE wrenches by Number if that would help in any way.

One of the things that seem foreign to us now days is manufacture supplied tools. However when the horse to tractor conversion started you have to remember that tools were very limited on the farm. Probably a hammer, anvil, monkey wrench and the like. Wrenches to actually fit the nuts and bolts were not common back then.

As to the point of your quest, I think gmcool might have you covered.
