Probably not true anymore but at one time, if one wanted to become a
machinist the very first project was to make your own tools. A few days
ago I was given these...they certainly do not look commercially
manufactured. Just wondering if any knowledgeable person here would know
if these might have been made by a machinist.

The screwdriver is a commercial made one. I've seen a couple of them
over the years and I'd guess at the date pre 1960.

The wrench does not look as finished as a commercial made too. The
shape is a common one and I had wrenches like that, inherited from my
grandfather.
