Some Raleigh three speed bikes came with a bike bag and wrench decades ago. So, those could be Raleigh.

The hex holes in the wrench probably fit the axle nuts.

The bottom bracket would be cup and cone, the curved end of the wrench would be for that. And if you have no clue what that sentence said, that is bike lingo. The bearings inside the frame where the crank arms attach, that curved part of the wrench would be for the left side loosening or tightening the lock nut on those bearings.

I have a wrench like that somewhere in my tool collection, can't remember the last time I used it.

I mentioned in a previous post that you probably will need an adjustable wrench for everything because the nuts and bolts are not SAE or metric, but that wrench should work on some of them.
