A quick search wasn’t turning up any Dayton fiberglass claw hammers, don’t want to dig into the Grainger catalog, might be gone a few days.

Today was a rare calendar event: an unscheduled weekend, a tool-heavy estate sale, and a nearby venue of interest to SWMBO!
We set out at 6 am to Nahant Beach north of Boston for some sunrise shelling. Our timing was good--the tide was out, the beach was wide, and there were lots of shells to chose from. We brought home an even dozen of sand dollars and shark eye sea snail shells, as well as assorted angel wings and some large surf clam shells.
Cost: free. Time with my best girl: priceless
We next stopped in at a local eatery, the Capital Diner in Lynn (est'd 1928!) for breakfast and then headed to the nearby estate sale. The suburban backyard was overwhelmed by a huge 3-level workshop/carriage house just packed with tools, supplies, a Case tractor and even a vintage International Harvester pickup truck! I picked through the basement of the house and the workshop, but even on this second, half-price day, there was still soooooo much there, way too much to take everything of value. I passed on some vintage Craftsman and Kennedy tool boxes, an assortment of battery chargers, and a dozen plus bicycle wheels for SWMBO's yard art project (we have plenty already). SWMBO handed me her finds and left me to pick as she sat in the truck on an audio book.
I got the following for $50:
Box o' screws
Garden tools
Paint roller
Toilet valve and flapper kit
OEMTools 25239 brake adjuster
P&C 1706-L 6" adjustable wrench
No-name S-shaped DBE
Four more DBEs for the collection
A set of Craftsman metric wrenches for my daughter
Pittsburgh impact socket adapter set
No-name 3/4-drive 1" socket
Bonney 3/4-drive socket, modified to be a 1"-drive adapter
Snap-on SW-260 1/2-drive 13/16", 1940 date code
Plomb 5542 3/4-drive 1-5/16" socket
Snap-on LDH-422A 3/4-drive 1-5/16" socket, no obvious date code, but has the Blackhawk "LIC REISSUE" markings
Snap-on LDH-342 3/4-drive 1-5/16" socket, 1944 date code
Snap-on L-62 3/4-drive extension, date code 1944
Snap-on IM-62A 3/4-drive extension, date code 1960
Snap-on 3/4" stubby combo, dated 1997
Wright 6443 42 3/4-drive slider bar
Plomb 1234 1-1/16 pwbble-handled combo wrench
Craftsman "Screwholding" slotted screwdriver
HDX drill bit case
Box o' hose clamps, unopened
Air hose nozzle
Rockwell HR550A pneumatic angle grinder
Chicago Electric plastic welding iron, unused
Allstate clip-on vacuum gauge
No-name spark test light
2x25' tape measures
Small WD-40 can
Unopened box of 2" exterior deck screws
Chevy truck hubcap
Outfeed roller stand
Short square-blade spade
30" pry bar
I also bought these four pressure treated 6x6s for $30. I don't have an immediate need, but at that price, I couldn't pass them up.

Some things from “last day” estate sale this morning. Anyone know what the small “tri blade” unit is? It was in a handle but didn’t seem original. I mostly got it for the handle. A small gunsmith or jewelers screw driver, miller falls 199 driver, 2 big c-man drivers, a couple small eagle oilers, jacobs chuck, and some WM Johnson rivet sets

Great day BB and Patrick!
For me A bit slow as we got a small bit of rain overnight and its pretty overcast. Only 4 stops planned and one TOO that didn't pan out Neither did the first stop, (and had the ad been honest, it wouldn't have been a stop...)
Second stop was a good one:
Right off the bat, I've been watching for one of these aluminum fishing boxes for a couple months, once I realized the company that made the small aluminum fly and spinner boxes also made full sized boxes. I'd not seen a cantilever style, but I'm good with it! Especially AT $5!
I'm not planing it for fishing however, but for Coleman repair/fettling parts/tools. This one should clean up pretty nice. The one "front" angled surface is a little ripply, but it has access so I should be able to get most if not all of that out.
Fully open it has great access to the bottom compartment:
Side view so you can see the little side stub wall tilt out:
All this came from the same place: a sling, it could be for a rifle but I think someone had it adjusted for a Thompson Contender with a long bull barrel. Leather strap, Fuel fitting for a boat tank, a small folding saw with Japanese type saw teeth. super light so for my day pack. target shooters tape 2 Sears/Dunlap combos,
a small driver and an old bottle with Chinese markings cast in? A buck each:
Third stop: they were late opening and made us wait outside for 5-10 min. I was irritated. The can doesn't have enough to fill anything but its a handy size to have for spare fuel for say a night fishing trip. The little package is medium clay bar. I've been wanting to try some. And the red bag is a Lie, not MSR inside...
Its a 6-91 Coleman Feather 400 (400B) - Looks to be not used much? if it works "out of the box" I may take it on my upcoming hunting trip. and it did work even on the tiny dribble left inside. I'm wondering of that partial Qt. can was the only fuel it ever saw?
Last stop was an Estate sale - looked picked over, but claimed it was a "one day only" deal - just a cheap tarp, I'm throwing this on into the T-van for the upcoming hunting trip -its super light, but for a side wall on a canopy tarp, its fine.

These came out of the evaporust today and are now finished.Only one local sale shown in Craigslist so we headed out this morning to check it out. We appeared to be the only customers. There was a table covered with a mix of tools and as I started to look through them the seller suggested that I take everything for a ridiculously low price so I did. He brought out a Craftsman carry box to put them in at no additional cost which was hard to argue with. Many of the tools were quite rusty so the evaporust containers are now full. I cleaned a few up that weren’t too rusty. The Dremel seemed to work fine.
A few tools cleaned up.

@BlueBomber - I have seen that three-sided tool in old catalogs, but I can't connect it to anything in my head at the moment.
@Outlawmws - that Coleman 400 is a damn nice unit. I have one of those. Lighter than most of the other "Peak1" models. Mine's been absolutely 100% reliable (unlike a couple earlier models I've had to fiddle-fart around with.)

I used a Peak1 for most of my '80 backpacking, but somehow (Looking at you, Brother!) I now have one of the feather 400s.
After the '80s, my backpacking partner carried a WhisperLite, one of which I almost bought today.

So there was lot's going on around here today. There was a church Rummage Sale up the street but there was nothing garage related there for me. I did pick up several smaller journals that I use for work notes - can't beat 50 cents each.
We stopped at a TOO Garage Sale and it was a tool stop. He was a carpenter ready to retire and move to Cape Cod so everything had to go. We picked up a U-Line 4-wheel dolly for $10 (not pictured) and this box of stuff for $12.
The 8-inch square is Made in USA but no brand name. The knife is a Barlow with "Carpenters Local Union 620 Madison NJ" imprinted in the handle. He had 3 or 4 of them in brand new condition. The puller is a generic made in tawian special. The spring clamps are mostly new-in-box except for the 2 clipped to the boxes.
Cheers

Nice! It's been awhile since I reported my beachcombing finds. Good prompt.
Nice find, Andy! I found and prestorved one a few years ago. Start here.
It may have started life as a melon cutter, but I'm guessing it may been used as a Babbitt scraper, especially if it was in a pre 50s toolbox with pre 50s tools.

I had a whole list of sales to hit, and a schedule to make the most of it today, and wouldn't you know, the first sale was a no-show. So, figuring that they were just slow getting started, I hit my second sale, which was on the far side of town, and then went out for breakfast.
This was an estate sale company trying to get rid of leftovers, some of which were pretty good. I found a Long C chisel, Lufkin boxwood folding rule, box of pellets, and a newer Stanley rabbeting plane.
Checking online, it looked like that first sale had cancelled, so after some debate I decided to go back to that estate sale I hit on Thursday, with quite nice results:
It was half-price day, so I spent about twice what I spent the other day, but I am pretty happy: An Indestro 1/2" socket box with good decal, empty Stanley box (free!), Klein replacement handle grips, Delta replacement spindle in box, machine lamp (too dirty too read the label right now), various reloading and shooting manuals, and an Ideal 310 reloading tool, complete in box, for a caliber I have been interested in, .222Rem

I most definitely have a problem… an auction problem.
I got all this plus another half a pick up load and only spent $50
Got all these books for $4, mostly vintage small engine stuff (one of my many hobbies).
These two were together for a bank breaking $6. Anybody know the brand of the small one or info about the top one?
The other rolling box is a Kennedy with 2 drawers and a storage cubby for a buck.
Got a bunch of T handle allens, most of a set of Bondus drivers and some small engine tools.
Got all the stuff in this pic for $10 lots of specialty tools for working on briggs and Kohler K-Series engines(my favorite) been wanting some of these for a while now so now we are in good shape.
More pics after sorting hopefully.

That’s what I originally thought it was, a scraper. The old timer apparently made small sail boats. So maybe not Babbitt but wood.
Found zero tools yesterday, but got these for $5 each. All the metal on the carriage clock is solid brass, and it still has the original key. The wall clock is pendulum driven, nice sounding chimes. Both need a little bit of work to get working right. I used to love tinkering with these about 25 years ago. Neither are worth much, but cool nonetheless.

It's possible. With my Army background one might mistake me for a landlubber, but my pop was prewar Merchant Marine, wartime Navy, and postwar Merchant Marine, and I grew up in and around sailing on inland lakes. When we weren't on the water we were working on the boats, and trust me when I say half of that was scraping! Lol. Could be useful in tight places. I'm still thinking bearings though. All kinds of things (bearings, gaskets, etc) were scraped. I have a sizable collection of bearing scrapers, including a few clearly made out of old three corner files. As a side note, scrapers were still being used long after bearing surfaces in automobiles were poured with some alloy other than a classic tin-based Babbitt (50's).

That K-21 turned out great. I have a feeling this one may just get wiped down, a quick wax and then off to it's next home. I may have to look into a decal,it really does look great. What I was amazed with is the weight empty ,it's a chunky box, almost as amazed as I was that it was available late day of an estate sale.

It's truly one of might favorite all time big carry box designs. Like a portable machinist chest.

I think it will definitely be handy after it’s cleaned up. I have a spike buck antler shed I found that I think will become it’s new handle.

Been sidelined for the past 3 to 4 weeks but finally able to get out this weekend though not much going on tool wise. Only thing to show for the weekend sales and from a newly retired machinist, 12" Starrett dial calipers for $10.
