Original Cobra tools question
OK, you British car fanatics in our midst! Here's a trivia question that I can't find the answer to. The original Cobras came with small bottle jacks that read "SHELLEY" on the side. I have seen a pair of british-made pliers that had "SHELLEY" stamped on them, too. Other 50's-60's vintage sports cars used Shelley jacks, too.
So... Who is the company that made them? Anybody got any info on the Shelley tool company or whatever they were called? I can't find any info with the web searches I've done. Has anyone ever seen a catalog that lists the different types of jacks they made? I have seen all different kinds of numbers and letters on the jacks, with very little difference in the appearance. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Have you checked with these guys: http://www.britishtool.com/ ? They have a bunch of Shelley jacks pictured. Maybe you could email them and they would know?
