Original Jupiter Tools

Post by Andrew Henshall »

I've been researching the original Jupiter tools for nearly 15 years now, and have nearly confirmed the details of every item, including the tool roll & tool compartment.

Can anyone confirm with a very high degree of certainty that the original Whitworth double open-ended spanners that came with the Jupiter (Mk1 and/or Mk1a) were Eagle Brand spanners, marked "SUPER CHROME" with the sizes on the front and marked 'EAGLE BRAND" on the reverse?

These are not black spanners, but in fact are chrome plated, but they do not have a polished chrome finish. The Whitworth sizes are 3/16 x 1/4, 5/16 x 3/8, & 7/16 x 1/2. In fact these spanners are double marked with the equivalent BSF sizes as well.

Here are photos of the 7/16 x 1/2W spanner's front & reverse faces.

Kind regards,

Ditto!

(See Original Javelin tools).

BUT . . .

I will keep an eye open for likely candidates at my local boot fairs / autojumbles.
