Between some ww2 stuff i've found this spanner.
Is it ww2? Perhaps some artillary tool? Or just from some farming machine or tractor?
Measures about 25 cm / 10 inch.

Anyone who recognizes it perhaps?

Thanks for your reply.

That should be of a big heavy bicycle with huge bolts?

Excuse me

. I've forgotten to mention it's measures. The spanner is about 25cm/10inch long.

Could be right. I don't know.

It does look like an old motorcycle spanner.

It is a cycle spanner. I have one in the toolkit for my hobbyhorse. On a more serious note the older cycle tools didn't have as many sockets on them for the different sized nuts.

The shard of pottery is Ming dynasty. And the two round things are probably coins looted from the recently discovered grave of Richard 111.

yeah right

for your information.
shard of pottery is a part of an 18/19th century Köln pottery.
the two other things are pistol musket balls. also a war relic, yet a bit older than WWII
