That particular one is not rare. It is not used because it is just unhandy. I would say it is worth 1 dollar as is and 2 bucks if cleaned up, working and nice. This is not to indicate that tools you have are not valuable, just that one is too common. Look on Ebay for similar tools to at least see what people are asking. Jim
 
I do not think such a place exists, if you find it please share! The best luck I have had is ebay for a generic search or else by searching the web using the brand, pat #, or official name for the tool to find values. You can always continue to post on here, we already "appraised" this first wrench for you with a pretty accurate value IMO with an accurate reason as to that value. HTH
 
I often go to ebay, search for the item and then click on "Sold" in the left column.
Not a perfect system but puts you in the ball park.
 
Old tools like you pictured at auctions will go for $2 to $5 for a box full,I have a bunch I've gotten over the years in boxes of misc.at auctions that had something else in the box
I wanted.
 
John, The long one in photo is a tool to put saw teeth in a circular sawmill blade. Used one many times and still have it in my tool box. Still have the sawmill also.

More like a Ford 9N tractor wrench. The car wrench had a square end on handle for use in a socket application. Had both types, don't know if still have them after a quick move. Years ago I bought a new one of a larger size and used it often as worked better than a Cressent style.
 
Some of those wrenches will sell for 40$ to 100$ or more on eBay If you can find out what they are for or what manufacture they went with
