Be honest, I can take it and figured this forum is well equipped to answer the question without offending. There are no manufacturer marks on these and other ones I've seen for sale don't have any either. Just wondering if I'm asking too much for these.

The dynamo wrench is painted black and has a kink in it towards the end. Yours are silver and are flat.
Mine is an original 356A version, think they are all the same. From memory not seen any numbers or maker on mine either.
To make one would or have one made makes your price reasonable really. I wonder though if they are original factory ones.
Only my thoughts !

Roy, the earlier generator/dynamo wrenches were indeed painted black like your on your A and were that way until 1963 model year with only a few variations like thickness and sharpness of the edges. Later 356C abd 912 wrenches were silver like these.
Also, original wrenches had no markings of any kind. In my opinion they will always be a $20 to $25 part. Much cooler to keep it than to get that amount of money IMHO.
Best to you,

It's also only been 2 weeks.
I had a VW fan, for $20, take 9 months to sell. The price was fair, it just took that long for someone to need one. _________________ Glenn
