MG TD TF 1500 - Ford/King Dick wrench?

Can anyone explain this wrench to me? It sez 'Ford' & 'King Dick' #370615646894 Thanks Jew

Gents, this is an EBAY item. I have never seen one before. FOG

English Ford?

Yes, it sounds like a wrench made by Abingdon King Dick for Ford UK.

Yep, I've got some just like it from our old Ford Prefect. It's legit.

Thanks all. Man I NEVER thought a monkey wrench was worth THAT kind of money! I'd better keep my eyes open more at swap meets I guess. JEW

The bottom line is that it ISN'T worth that! There is another almost identical wrench up now for Buy-it-Now at just over $10, and they regularly sell for $10-15. I believe it might be a standard MGA item?

I never pay attention to what people are asking for something on eBay; I go to the sold items and see what they have actually fetched. It's usually a dose of reality, even though sellers don't like to hear it. (I've stopped trying to educate on eBay - it's not worth the effort when sellers don't care about truth, accuracy or facts!)

Yeah, I agree, Tom... they're not really it hard to find and the asking price for this one is silly money. I see them often at swap meets for $10-20.
