2774. Flight case for .....err..... no idea.
2775. High level valve key.2778. Ring spanner :o)
2775. Valve shut on/off tool 2778. Automotive distributor wrench.
2774 Is obviously a shipping case, probably for a musical instrument.
2775 I see that several people have said 'valve key'. In the 1964 Burt Lancaster movie, "The Train", he uses a tool exactly like this to undo the track fastening bolts on a WWII french railroad line.2776 Fasces
2776 An ornate steam whistle

Or a prop for a movie fantasy... which, of course, would also count as a work of art.
I'm going from memory here, but I say not exactly. In the movie, the bolts in the track have hexagonal heads, and the business end of the tool is like the socket you'd find on a socket wrech.
2776 - Perhaps a Gas Sconce
2773 - Armor ... glove and shield for left arm.
2774 - Rifle case (?)
2775 - Wrench for water main valve2777 - Cap for a tube or pipe
2773 - What you get when an overzealous armorer decides your plate armor just isn't heavy enough.... (it's a lantern shield, with a retractable sword blade) 2774 - Travel case. Possibly for lights?
2775 - Water valve shut off tool.
2776 -2777 -
2778 - Sold as a water pump/starter wrench originally.2776 Iconographically it is a "fasces", an ancient roman symbol that became the symbol of the Mussoloni's Fascist party.
I don't know why it was filled with sand, but it is more than likely that it was finial off of some flag pole and brought back as a souvenir from WWII.

Thanks, didn't really expect to get an answer for this one.
Correct
I was thinking brake bleeder wrench but I'm not 100% sure.
Brake bleeders are 3/8 or 7/16, this looks like 9/16 or 1/2"
The owner said: "Both ends are boxed and 5/8 size", what size are distributor wrenches?
Brake bleeders typically 3/16 inch, and typically out in the open. The brakes I've bled used either a common box wrench, or socket wrench. No need for the offset.

IIRC, my old Dodge Dart was 1/2 inch.

IIRC, most american cars were 1/2" or 9/16"... maybe even a few 7/16". I think 5/8" is a bit big for distributors. Not too many metric distributor wrenches, I think there might have been a 15mm for some Cadillac and VW applications. Most foreign cars were 10 or 12mm and didn't require special tools.
Now thinking 2778 might be a special... like maybe for getting to Diesel injection pump hold down bolts. But thats just a wild guess.
