These tools were under the front seat of the 27 Chevy I brought home Saturday and I pretty much know what all of them are except for the one on the left.
Spark plugs took a 7/8" deep socket. I haven't checked the actual size but it looks to be around 9/16-5/8"
I am asking about the T-handle tool on the left. The tool to its right is the lug wrench. The tool in front of the jack is the tire iron. The hex opening fits the rim bolts and the flat end is for removing the tire from the rim and also installing it back.
This is what I found.....Probably not the exact one but as manyolcars said, it is a Walden-Worcester. 2718 9/16 Long Tee-Handle Socket Wrench The Tee-handle socket wrenches were also available in a long version, as the next figure illustrates. Fig. 23. Walden 2718 9/16 Long Tee-Handle Socket Wrench, with Inset for Detail, ca. 1916-1918. Fig. 23 shows a Walden 2718 long T-handle socket wrench, marked "Walden-Worcester" and "Made in U.S.A." with a "Pat. Pdg." notice. The overall length is 12.3 inches. As with the previous figure, the patent pending notice refers to patent #1,282,028

Alloy Artifacts is an online tool museum and resource center for information on 20th century hand tools. You'll find thousands of high-quality photographs of different types and makes of tools, with background history on the tool companies that helped shape the industry. We also provide tables of patents and trademarks, logo images to help identify unfamiliar tools, a timeline of tool industry events, and finally a Site Index to help find everything. Examples of Tools in the Alloy Artifacts Collection (Click on photo for more information.) The Quotidian Artifact Sun Nov 05 2017 Ten Years and 5000+ Tools Later ... Alloy Artifacts is 10! September 2015 marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Alloy Artifacts website. From a modest beginning with three articles and ten or twenty photographs, the site has grown to offer more than 5,000 photographs of tools, with historical information for dozens of tool companies. Long-time readers may remember the "dark ages" before this site came online, when an internet search for a tool or tool company likely found nothing at all, or at best a mix of speculation and misinformation. Alloy Artifacts provides solid information in the form of photographs, references to printed material, public documents such as patents and trademarks, and (when possible) links to other online resources. Tool Sales Underway. The previously announced sale of our tool inventory is now underway. Please refer to the Tool Sale Announcement for details. Major Policy Change. Please see the new Announcements section for a major policy change regarding our Tool Inventory Policy. Correcting the record. We've just moved the "Pick-Up" wrench to a new entry for New Britain Manufacturing, based on new evidence that this company was not affiliated with New Britain Machine. A New Look for the Home Page We've given our home page a long-overdue update, with an expanded slide show of sample photos. The slide show needs Javascript to operate though, so we've also added a warning in case you have Javascript disabled. Breaking News! We've just found a long-sought example to associate a well-known maker with the Sears "AF" manufacturer's code ... see the Merit 6-Piece Wrench Set for details! Best Wishes for the New Year! As we roll into 2016, Alloy Artifacts would like wish all of our readers a happy and prosperous New Year. We're glad to have made some important improvements here during the last few months of 2015, and we hope to build on these changes in the coming year. Planned improvements include a more mobile-friendly layout, better indexing, and of course lots more tools. Please Update Your Links! The old Comcast pages are now gone, and we would like to ask our readers to update any bookmarks or links that refer to the old Comcast address. If you maintain web pages that refer to this site, please make sure that your links point to our new address. Accessing the Web Pages Our new hosting site is working very well and all pages are now accessible at http://alloy-artifacts.org, with an alternate address at http://alloy-artifacts.com. We've taken advantage of the move to dust off our pages a bit -- fixing broken links and other bit-rot -- as well as adding a few minor updates. The new site will allow us to do some things that are not feasible with static pages, such as online surveys and generated pages. We hope to add some new features and content as time permits.

Thanks for the help. My wrench is a Walden 2718 9/16" but it must be a few years older than the one posted above because it has an Oct. 22, 1918 patent date on it instead of pat. pending.
