I am often contacted by folks looking for four-speed freewheels. I've never had nor serviced one. It's nice to see a NOS one. I've never seen this manufacturer. Thanks for posting.
It's too bad the sprockets have rusted. The ORO/gold does not shine as well as Regina ORO, but they can be really pretty freewheels. If you'd like to send them my way for a rehab and de-rusting, I can see what I can accomplish in restoring them.
Thanks for posting all these pictures. I'd like to state, this has to be the best thread of the 2020s!

Thank PastorBob... but I'm going to see if we can find anything else interesting and cluster related in his used boxes

I was a conveyor mechanic for 30+ years and I've used chain breakers just like this. Now, I'm having flashbacks to a job I couldn't wait to retire and get away from . I just wish the ones we had were the same manufacturer as yours. We were on "radio call" and it would have been fun calling one of my partners and asking him to bring the King D*ck.

this is an awesome thread to watch. some of these items are quite rare, and to see them in quantity, in NOS condition, is pretty amazing. And then other items aren't particularly valuable at all, but still very cool to see from just a historical or "what the heck is that thing?!" perspective.

Thanks. Some of this I never had a need to see in the shop - the HTK stand, didn't realize we had it - and thought - maybe from when we were selling Puch scooters? Other things, just the mundane collection of freewheel removers remind you of just how many different manufacturers and their specific tools you had to be aware of. I just happen to like all the different spoke wrenches. I know there was another one I thought I threw in a bag that was a long gold/brass color knurled body with an angled wedge cut that was about 3/4" long at one end. Looked like you would hold it like a pen... At least I think it's a spoke wrench... when I find it and post it one of you folk will educate me on how it has some other purpose that will become obvious once you tell me lol. Still many cabinets and shelves to run through...

Actually found a guy who wanted this and two other partial frames that had the shaft drives intact (old, dirty, but intact). Turns out he's out of Alameda and specializes in Hi-Wheelers (Penny Farthings, Boneshakers whatever you want to call them) in fact has a shop making replicas "Rideable Bicycle Replicas" - said these could be end of same period as his specialty area, although different style entirely, but could probably find homes for the parts amongst the folk in his circle.

what tool?
Isn't this a bottom bracket fixed cup remover? When the cup face edges are rounded or screwed up? Or you tried really hard to remove a cup thinking it was British ... but it wasn't... and you ended up with the cup face edges rounded or screwed up

And I think your "Ringle" suggestion is the correct answer as I found an image of a Ringle for sale (below). You might note it has a rubber O-ring on the threaded end. Mine has the ridge space without the O-ring

Cyclo... what?
I have a vague recollection of asking Charlie about this ... but can't recall an answer. Thought some kind of adjustment tool, but I see the slot now and all that comes to mind is a spoke wrench...
Seems like a lot of metal and a wasted end just to be a spoke wrench... google image search didn't bring up anything in the first couple pages so I leave it to the cognescenti

"CYCLO Genuine VERY RARE workshop tool 1940 - 1950’s in excellent condition."
"Believed to hold the gear changer in place while replacing the movement SPRING or TOGGLE CHAIN"
"Purchased in the 1940's or 50's directly from CYCLO Gear Company when in Potters Hill Aston, Birmingham before their move to Belgrave Road, Handsworth for our Birmingham bicycle shop 1932-1998 and transferred to our Sidmouth shop 1993-2014"
And they refer to an old,old Benelux ad image of a derailleur that look like some of the old Simplex models with the pull chain and the big coil spring?

maybe the slotted side slips into where the chain pull comes out, the chain pull fitting the slot as you adjust...something?

TA Chainrings: 49, 50, 56, 60, 63, 64, 65 and 66 teeth
yeah... from how many 63 - 66 there are, well, guess better freewheels came in to get the same gear inches/development... but for the wall mounting decorations...

An unmarked chainring, but the squiggle before the teeth marking looks familiar
Recognize the brand from that squiggle???
