Vintage Cast Iron J.A. SEXAUER WRENCH Slim Open Ended! - eBay (item 310014983374 end time Jan-21-08 18:39:48 PST) This vintage cast iron wrench is embossed on the handle with the maker, "J. A. Sexauer Mfg Co" and "U.S.A. And Canada." There's a small hallmark that I can't make out. I keep thinking it looks like the Phantom's Skull Ring, but that's likely just me. Being married to a cartoonist can warp a person.
It's an open-ended wrench that's very thin in profile, measuring only 5/16" thick at the jaws and 1/2" thick at the handle. The finish has patina and one chip. The white mark you see in the photo later scratched off.
The openings measure 2 5/8" and 1 7/8" wide. Or 66 mm and 48 mm.

Vintage Navy WWII U.S. SERVICE WRITING KIT in Orig Box! - eBay (item 310014980400 end time Jan-21-08 18:21:11 PST) This U.S. Service Writing Kit is a caramel faux leather paper folder with a gold embossed logo and "U.S. Service Writing Kit" on the front cover. Inside on the left is a pocket full of envelopes, a place to put your sweetheart's photo and a card to record your name, number, outfit, company, camp and location. On the right is a pad of stationery imprinted with a navy blue USN anchor logo.
There are 24 envelopes and the pad looks full. The envelopes and stationery age darkened. We believe it's a World War II era kit. The pasteboard box has a tear in one flap corner.
The pasteboard box/envelope is printed on the front in red with images of three servicemen, a mailing envelope, stars and a banner that says, "U.S. Service Writing Kit." Someone hand-wrote on the end "59 cents." There's a blue-printed or stamped "N" on the closure tab.

Vintage LONG JET AIRPLANE HOOD ORNAMENT 3 Mounts Plane! - eBay (item 310014978509 end time Jan-21-08 18:08:57 PST) This vintage chrome jet airplane hood ornament once graced a car, but I don't know what make or model. Inside it's marked "BM-16853-C" and "10369". Under each wing it says, "1/4 28."
The finish is cloudy and pitted on top and has pitting in the underside fuselage. The screws and nuts are here, ready to be mounted except the nuts need oiled and unfrozen. If you get it re-chromed, you're good to go.
It's huge, measuring 17 1/2 inches long and 10 inches wide. When bolted to your car hood, the nose is upraised as if the jet is taking off.
