My grandfather had a HD sometime in the 1930's/40's. I have some of his things and this small tool bag was among them and happened to be with some riding goggles. Did this go with a bike? Does anybody recognize?
Hard to imagine a bicycle came with a tool bag with so many different odd shaped wrenches.I'd think that little clear bottle is not from the 30's or it would be cracked (maybe not) but usually anything from the 30's -40'd would have been in a metal can, not a plastic whatever that is( chain oil holder?).
Whatever it is, it's old because nobody give you anything like that anymore.
Did gramps play with model airplanes by chance? I had a wrench like the one in the bottom of the pic when I built RC planes . The various size spanner wrenches used to remove the glow plugs. Squirt bottle allowed priming them. Its been a long time since I messed around with them tho. I could be completely off base.
