Did Chevrolet dealers supply a hubcap wrench for 1929-30 cars equipped with disc wheels? There are a couple of new wrenches being made but I would like to know what an original looked like.

So here are the two that I have. The open ended one is the one is shown in the March Service news for 1929 and apparently made available at that time. It was made by Kent-Moore for Chevrolet. The second with the smaller end fits the hubcap and water pump packing nut. I found a catalog page from 1934 for Western Auto that shows this one so its an aftermarket. The manuals show how to use the adjustable wrench (third picture) from the toolkit to remove the hubcaps. The correct adjustable wrench opens large enough for the hubcap.
