HELP - Hardtop Wrench Survey - C1 C2 C3

[Jack M.]

Hoping to get some input and photos of C1, C2, and C3 Corvette hardtop wrenches.
If you believe you might have an ORIGINAL wrench (not one you purchased), PLEASE respond.
A photo of BOTH the FRONT & BACK would be very helpful (different text & markings)...
And if you have a cloth bag that came with the wrench, it would be nice to see it.

For tracking purposes, kindly include the YEAR of your Corvette, and the MONTH of production.
I've been researching this topic for a few years... I'm looking to finally bring it to conclusion.
(for those with privacy concerns, contact me CONFIDENTIALLY via forum email or PM)

Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Jack

Below are photos of the wrench that was supplied with my 1969 Corvette with hard-top only of which I am the original owner. The car was manufactured in mid-September, 1969. I am absolutely certain that this is the wrench originally included with the car. It was in the center rear storage compartment of my car the day I took delivery and it's still there today.

I'll definitely be staying tuned-in to this thread! I've owned my 'hardtop-only' C-1 since 1974. Very original
car and it has all of the correct wheel changing equipment. No hardtop wrench though, always caused
me to wonder about the appearance and characteristics of the originally supplied wrench.

Stay Safe Everyone!

THANX for the input, Ray... I sure hope we can get more responses.
I was starting to think Corvette had only issued ONE hardtop wrench during the entire 50's and 60's... and it was given to Joe.

Jack,

Here is a picture of my hardtop wrench from my 68 convertible with Hardtop born on March 4, 1968, SN 12836. The car is very original. I am not sure if it is the correct wrench for the year as it looks like it has been used a lot more than only removing the hardtop side bolts.
