Paramount tool kit components?
I recently got a somewhat tired old Paramount tool kit pouch, along with my '71 Paramount I am building up. I have been collecting a few tools to go with it, but I have seen conflicting information about what really were the original components..... Here is what I have collected thus far, what am I missing? Also, what would be the correct Owners Manual for a '71 P-13-9?:
1. Pouch 2. Peanut butter wrench 3. Campy extractor 4. T wrench 5. Pineapple allen tool 6. Chainring nut tool 7. Seat spanner (not in pic)

I’ve never seen a Paramount kit that I know for certain to be absolutely correct with all of the proper tools in place but, I believe you need a 7mm Allen wrench for the Cinelli stem and I think some tire levers.

You're off to a great start.
Plenty of examples here, complete or otherwise.

Looks complete but for the special bendy-wrench for the two-bolt Record seat post. The hex key portion of the T-wrench is the correct 7mm size for a Cinelli stem bolt.
Although I wonder, would a pair of cone wrenches also have been included?

I've never seen a Campagnolo T-wrench that wasn't 8mm socket and both ends of the T 6mm Allen.

Now I look at your pic I wonder if a pedal dust cap wrench was also included in the Paramount kit?

More tools added....
Well, I think I have pretty much completed my Paramount tool kit, as near as I can tell, maybe other than a pedal cap wrench(?) The last, and maybe hardest to find, is the 7mm Cinelli branded Allen wrench...
"7 VAN. - Cinelli"
Brake wrench, crank extractor, pineapple wrench, peanut butter wrench, cone wrench, t-wrench, saddle post offset wrench, and Cinelli 7mm Allen wrench....
