KDF Wrench?

This is a wrench my dad found in a lw light ghia he bought in college in the late 60's. Anyone know what it is or what it may be worth?

What makes you think it has any correlation to VWs? The swastika could mean anything.

That fact that it was found in a VW is interesting, but could just be a coincidence. Are there any markings other than the swastika?

It is not the early "sun wheel" swastika seen on KDF items. I would date it post '41 at the earliest.

That's an alligator wrench. For working on pipes and boilers. Nothing to do with cars.

I think this is just a coincidental marking. It is probably 20 to 30 years before the German use of the mark.
