I think it’s something from Indestro.Started cleaning up the "Thorsen" set and I mentioned Plvmb; the 12" breaker is a 1/2" drive WF-37.
But the 9-1/2" extension is a mystery - the only mark on it is 3211. This maps to nothing I own, not even as a "32XX" prefix.Not in Extensions anyway.
The unmarked 3211 is a Duro/Indestro extension.Started cleaning up the "Thorsen" set and I mentioned Plvmb; the 12" breaker is a 1/2" drive WF-37.

Wheel is roughly 2-3 inches wide. Probably 3 inches in diameter.
Rhode Island? You must know Charlie Kelly then, right?
. My fault so I don’t go back a third time.
This is me also. Two closest were repeats from a couple of weekends back, bought a squid extension cord with a pair of USB ports. Highlight was a sale with a Hi Lift jack for $20, and watching a couple looking older than me trying to figure out how it worked. He was clueless, she was deciphering the mechanism for him. I went over and stood by the seller, watching the show.
Friday I attended the swap meet bmw reported earlier. I was not spending much money until I ran across an item I couldn't resist:
Years ago I bought an Atlas 6300 (Clausing) 12" lathe, but it didn't have a steady rest. This is something you must have to really use the lathe very much. There is one currently for sale on Ebay for $650.00, so they don't come cheap. I managed to get this one for $150.00, which was quite reasonable. Neither the seller or I was absolutely certain it was the right one for the lathe, but it turned out to exactly match the image in the 1953 sales brochure, and fits the lathe perfectly.
As bmw pointed out, there was a lot of stuff priced at $1.00.
Blue Point BP 4 4 oz. ball pein hammer
Snap On (Vacuum Grip) #86 side cutters
Parallel jaw pliers marked "ARMEE FRANCAISE 44P 1992 008"

Walden 1850 double swivel box socket
D.G.M. "Chrome Vanadium" pliers. Crimper? end nipper?
There were plenty of $0.25 priced items, too:
Sockets:

Reasonably priced items included $5.00 for the Blackhawk 4219X wrench for Ford Model T main bearing bolts and wrist pin clamp bolts (9/16 sq. and 9/16 open end)
This ugly toolbox caught my eye because of the ratchet. Examination showed a Wizard 1/2 drive set with sockets from 7/16 to 1-1/16 (missing the 3/4 and 13/16, but I have a 3/4), ratchet and extension all supplied by Indestro.
Other goodies in there include SK and Craftsman -V- sockets, a Vlchek punch, Thorsen 1/4 drive spinner with 11/32 socket, and a Plomb USA 5476 1/2 dr. 12-pt. swivel socket 9/16. The box is missing screws to hold up the tray, so it isn't quite as bad off as it looks. I paid $15.00 for it.
Another deal was this hammered Kennedy box for $5.00. I hope to salvage the drawer pulls from it. It also has 14 good drawer slides and 14 retaining clips. Under the bottom drawer, which was jammed, was a Craftsman set of metric Allen wrenches.
The best part of the day was getting to see many people I knew, including Oregon Rock Crusher and his wonderful wife. I saw a pair of brothers that I hadn't seen in almost 50 years! Nice folks at this meet, and I spend a lot more time visiting than shopping.
Just got back from an all tool garage/estate sale. Not advertised well in a very small out-of-the-way town.
Lots of stuff left for a Sunday, and they wanted to sell. I am thinking about going back around 1 to see how low they will go on what’s left.
Walked out spending $20 total. I threw the number out, but I’m guessing they probably would have taken less.
Irwin tap/die set. I got to the car, realized it was missing the 1/2” tap and went back to scrounge through the others for one. They just let me have it, got back to the car again and realized it was 1/2-20 and not 1/2-13
Barcalo Buffalo 3/4 wrench and a Weil Adjustomatic.
Gear Wrench 3/8 7/16 9/16 and 5/8 ratchet flex heads. Couldnt find the 1/2” (I am noticing a trend…)
Channellock 420’s
A no name Ball Peen
And an old set of True Value snips
There were tons of USA made hardware store and Craftsman hand tools, I was cherry picking.
Also had plenty of tool boxes and stationary home shop tools. Bench drill press, vertical and horizontal band saws, various sanders, compressor.
If someone was looking to get a garage shop going they would have been pretty well set up with decent tools pretty cheap.
I will report back if head out there again this afternoon.
Oh….and there were 6 Ford 8N tractors for sale. They are too big to fit through my gate or else I would have been tempted.
It's the right B&S logo, for starters. GMTK called for a 41-R-2290, and the manuals and Fed Specs for that call out "Tempered" and "No. 4," which is the designator for an English-scale rule with graduations in 8ths and 16ths on one side, and 32nds and 64ths, "for quick reading", on the flip side. Stiff, not flexible.
Well, if you ever get around to really meaning it, I can get you started with a folding, laminated, military inspection outlines inspired 'cheat sheet' that I designed and made for many, many years on G503. com dubbed Wingnutt's Whiz, after my username there. Wingnut was taken here, but when some people here on GJ showed interest, I made a batch re-dubbed Lugnutz's Learner!
I think those are all gone, like the Whizzes, but I would be willing to gin a few more up at cost of materials and postage. (Not trying to pitch them. Trust me when I say those days are well behind me and they're kind of a PITA to make. Haha. But I would make some exceptions on a case-by-case basis.)
Rgr/Ack
I'm late to the pile-on, but anyone (besides us) aware of your assessment of your neighbor?And.., she's my neighbor!
Snerk. My son..., in less crass terms. He was her mailman! (Not a reference to the twice-ringing kind!) Even though he's in the middle, and only 31, he is our Classic Rock and New Wave kid, and was thrilled to discover she was on his route. He's on a different route now. I behave around her. Pretty much.
You nailed it LS! The "Made in USA" marking was hidden by rust, and there is a dash in the size marking.
.
Thanks guys, not often I find a good amount of truck brands at one stop usually drips and dribbles from cherry picking DIY's folks stuff.
Nice finds Patrick!
