At a recent pub meet I was given the spanner shown below, as the donor knew of my past life as a Ford Motor Company employee.

I find it an odd little tool, as :
a) The sizes are not marked (approx 5/8 and 9/16 inch)
and
b) The trade marking as "Ford Dagenham". I would have expected "Ford", "FoMoCo" or "EnFo", never seen "Dagenham" as an identifier.

Anyone know where this item may have originated?
