A single wrench with four sizes and probably used on lathes or the like.

It's a fantabulator. You hold it against the fan belt on a running engine to remove the glaze that causes squeaking noises. The different sizes are for various widths of fan belts. Am I correct Sir?

That was a fantabulous answer but wrong. Here's a hint.
All you needed with this tool is a flashlight and a drip
tray and you could ride all day and night.

It's a sort of universal wrench for british bikes. 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 whitworth or bsf nuts, and the ones I remember had a 1/4 square as the smallest, which suggests brake adjustment.
There is a britich "cycle" thread, which is 26 tpi. lots of non standard things in use over here.

Congratulations Mart, you are the winner. When I had my
1962 Triumph I used this wrench to change the cooper washers on the rocker arm oilers ( regularly ) tighten
the distributer ( regularly ) adjust the clutch
( regularly ) tighten the chain ( regularly ) and tighten
everything else ( regularly ). The flashlight was so you could see at night. Lucas lighting sucks. The motto at the Lucas factory is, A good day's work and home before dark.
The drip tray was so your buddie's wife wouldn't freak
out when you parked on their driveway. Ahh! my Triumph,
I loved that bike.
Now here's the next one. Have fun.

Hatch rules. It is a door hinge wrench for late sixties and seventies GM cars. You win the honor of adjusting the next Camaro door. I adjusted too many of them, now this show
and tell is over I'm cutting it up so'd I'll never have to use it again. Hallelujah!!!!!
