I recently found this wrench in and old toolbox that was given to me. Someone told me it's a Model A brake wrench? If this is correct, is it valuable?

That's what it is. I paid $5 for one of mine and $10 for the other.

There is an EE stamped on it. Is that normal, or was it possibly stamped by a previous owner?

You will find them on ebay or at swap meets price varies, there were several different ones being made at the time. A very handy tool for adjusting the brakes we carry one on the trouble truck for the Summer Tour gang.

i think i heard this off that Pawn Stars show: Just because its old doesn't mean its worth anything.

To me the model A brake wrench is more valuable as a useable tool more than a collectors piece. So yea $5-$10 for a good wrench is good to me
