Wow I hit an Indian Summer bonanza estate sale today. No GPA (well, I left a prop lantern in a plastic suicide case) but probably my best single stop (only stop) score so far for the year. Claim was 3 generations worth or stuff - I believe it!:
First item I picked up was the hewing hatchet. 4-1/2" blade and markings obscured by hr rust - Have to do something about that... A close second was the leather - I found the double buckle strap after I got it home... I'm guessing that is from Binocs or a camera case. Vaughn 6oz BP, and an unmarked clone of a Stanley 593A plastic face hammer
One of my last pics was this Pick! it has a mark I'll have to carefully unmask:
Grommets, another GAM Driver, 3 blade imperial and M. Klien and sons Knives, Yamaha and Plvmb wrenches, a nice German made mortise marking gauge, and a Waldon Drag link Driver Socket.
A Civil Defense box to be identified for use; -watch for the next CD object! - A Yankee #41 drill in box - I may be able to get the old masking tape off? its that old... - A sanding block, I have at least one other similar - maybe the same - and a wood plane;
Socket sets! 2 of SK deeps, one of the 3/8 is not SK and the 1/2 drive set may have one MIA - I need to find a catalog page. the Plvmb box is different, as it has rounded corners instead of being bent up from flat stock square.
Inside the Plvmb box is mostly Craftsman all metric - with 3 Taiwan orphans and a frozen RHFT that needs a soak.
A Roper Whitney #5 Jr punch with 4 of 7 sets of punches and dies. - Now my orphan non-Whitney clone can move on. I have one for each size of punch now.
Tap and Die sets! 2 are Greenfield Tap & Die (GTD) first one is all fractional, 1/4" or less - very unusua!, #2 is Numbered machine screw taps and dies plus the 1/4"; Third is very tiny taps and dies, likely gunsmith sizes. only one had a brand - Winter?
A Millers falls box with a Milers falls depth gauge:
A Cincinnati Drill index -steel, not aluminum, 2 short step blocks marked "Sarge" on one side and fractional heights on the other, and 2 Bernard compounds, -wire forming and nippers. I think the wire formers are missing a spring, I have to research that, but these will be users. for sure.
I've been wanting one of these vises, its a clamp on bench vise but modeled on the Blacksmith's vise. If I can find a "Wagon tongue" vise I'l have all three major varieties of these. The angle was added; Probably for stability, but the spiked claw pad on the bench screw indicates to me likely German origin. No marking so far...
The other Civil Defense thing; A geiger counter! I'm wondering if the other box is for calibration of the GC?
Inside are clean (both boxes) and both take D-cell batteries.
One of the first things I looked over, but added to my pile late, was this Mercury outboard tank - My second, like this; #1 I converted to a White gas/Coleman fuel refill station; This one after a clean out gets a new hose and my electric pump moved onto it and its a reserve for my rigs. 3 gallons is a nice size, fairly small anad not too heavy, but 3 gallons is plenty to get you to a gas station.
It will need cleaned out, it has near gelatined gas on the bottom (Napalm?) - I plan on giving it a long strong lye soak after some initial scraping.
Last pic was a curb PU from yesterday - Aluminum Extrusions - 1-1/2" X 47" and 1" X 48"
The little box is for "recharging"/calibration of dosimeters 
No worthwhile sales for me this weekend. I did grab this stuff out of two free piles. The universal belts are new. I thought the handle and screw might be for a bench vise but the smaller threaded are at the end and shorter threaded area makes me question it. Any ideas? Also from the free piles was two sets of Thule locking ski racks with keys.
