Two 1934 Chevrolet Jack Handle Tire Iron Lug Wrench Patented 1929 on 2040-parts.com
Salem, Oregon, US
two 1934 Chevrolet combination
tire iron, lug wrench, jack handles
Both irons have a 3/4" wrench end. The shorter
of the two irons features a patented tang meant
to index into a period jack.
I believe the 2nd (longer) of the two irons is also
intended for 1930s or 1940s Chevy because the
profile is similar (though the 2nd is minus the
contoured end. This iron instead has a bladed
end).
Photo #5 is an extract of the iron's 1929 patent.
The image illustrates the multiple functions
of the handle.
Photo #7 is an example of a 1934 'Standard 6'
which included a tire iron such those featured
here as standard equipment.
