I recently picked up a Hazet Tourist round tool kit and I'm wondering about the style of wrenches that should be in it.
Mine is only supposed to have 3 small wrenches, 14 mm,10 x 12 mm, and the 7 x 8 mm.
Are the correct ones the small "a" or capital "A"? Also I've seen some that have just a raised number and some that have the number inset in a small square depression. Which is correct?

Thanks,
Dan

Yours should have small "a."

Here's some info: http://www.356tools.com/roundbox.htm

Pics of your box would help.

Since you have flock (not felt)... it's 56-59 style.
I think you'd want the rectangular depression in the wrenches.
... and "a" with plain underline... not "a" with "L" underline (which is earlier).
