Isn't the back saw non/Disston?

I like the mini bar/F clamp. That size can be very handy.
It is, but the handle is Canadian Tire, so while the blade might have drifted in from somewhere else (it's held in place with a wingnut), Im suspecting CT. I'll see if I find anything under the rust.

(And yeah, I am pleased with the clamp! One can never have too many. :) )

I was looking on Marketplace and saw a tool box with tools recently listed, seemed like mostly lower-end brands but I could see a yellow Snap-On ratcheting screwdriver in one of the drawers, so I decided to go take a look. Was only about 30 minutes from my place.

When I got there I was lead over to an old garage by the seller's neighbor, who had listed the tool box. I was only expecting to see the tool box and nothing much else. Turns out, it was an older guy selling everything in the garage! I got a bunch of stuff, mostly tool truck brand items.

But the best find of the day was his vise, a 1945 4" Wilton Bullet. It was the first thing I asked for a price on and he said "$10, you take it off." Sounds good to me!

Here it is after an extensive clean-up and grease:

Thanks for all the "you ****"s and the welcomes, guys. As requested, here's the rest of my haul.

Most of the misc. sockets are Craftsman with some Snap-On and Mac mixed in. Not pictured is a Matco 25-250 ft lb torque wrench.

I know where a nice 4-1/2" Wilton vise is but I am afraid to ask how much it is. I bought some tools from a woman selling her ill husbands tools. She was selling (trying to sell) everything at eBay prices including some Craftsman tools at Snap On prices. I only bought a couple things but the one item I got a great deal on was the original copper soft jaws for the Wilton vise since she didn't have time on the spot to find them on eBay.

I should have added 'the new orchard' the gate might be taller than some of the planted trees. But it's a work in progress, 10 trees planted. The 7 apple trees are heritage trees, which I love the idea of. There are groups here who go back over old maps to find the locations of old orchards, then try track the orchard down through the years, if evidence of trees are still visible on Google Earth for example they visit the site to see if Apple trees are still there., if they are they take cuttings. So we have a selection of these trees, cuttings grafted onto root stock, and a few of those they didn't actually know if they were eaters, cookers, or cider apples. Plum and pears also planted. I'll update when I can, but this isn't a priority project, renovating the house in the next few months will take most of my time, even with builders doing the majority of the work there is still a lot of logistics and planning work ahead.
Sorry to be so late to the party - just catching up.
Love the gate - reminds me of the one at the rear yard/garden of my grandparents’ house.
Where I grew up, the local dairy farm included disused pastures above the valley floor, reverting to forest, where we often hiked. Along the rim of the bluffs was planted a single row of a dozen or so apple trees - each different - grown old and unpruned. None of the apples looked or tasted much like the limited types popular in markets at the time, as we kids discovered when our wanderings coincided with their ripenings. Some were sweet, some sour; one had a flavor like roses, another almost like grapes (the dark-skinned kind), one was reminiscent of banana.
Those former pastures have been cleared again, but for new housing, and I think the apples are gone.

There were two sales of interest today in town, and once I had breakfast I made my way over to them.
54313500734_66a01688a7_b.jpg
From the second sale I went to: Stanley screwdriver, long spade bit, Dunlap ratchet. From the first sale (a sale I realized I had no money in my pocket, and so had to go out, hit the machine, and go back): boxed tap set, Snap-on socket, Par-X wrench, vinyl holder for taper pin reamers, drill gauge (wharehouse manufacturing, never heard of them), Craftsman auto punch, and this:
54313594915_ffd3b87df0_b.jpg
a small Presssteel roller, I think. It has all the hallmarks of one, the right type of casters, lip around the top, etc. But no markings that I have found. Anyway, I don't need it, but it was cheap.

After hitting the sales, I went to the local used bookstore, as I had books to bring in. I have plenty of credit, but you always need more.

I went to an estate sale a few blocks from home this afternoon. The rusty treasures I found today were really rusty. IMG_0504.jpeg
I seem to be unable to leave early Craftsman blow torches behind. IMG_0505.jpeg
The 8” and 10” carbon steel Crescent wrenches were REALLY rusty IMG_0510.jpegIMG_0511.jpeg
I removed some of the rust before putting them in the evaporust. IMG_0512.jpeg
I added to my brass nozzle collection including one that was Dunlap marked. IMG_0506.jpeg
Cleaned them a little. IMG_0519.jpeg
Ridge Improved Stillson 14” pipe wrench.IMG_0508.jpeg
I’m not sure who made the large ball pein hammer.

bmw, that cabinet looks very much like a Blackhawk DS "Red Rover" Stand featured on page 33 of the 1947 catalog. Those u-channels are just like the ones that held chrome trim on other Blackhawk cabinets.

Nice pick!

No, it is both too short and doesn't have the identifying details of a Blackhawk 100DS, one of which I have out in the garage.
@bmwrd0
Is the back of that roller painted red or unfinished? When I picked one up (also no logo, but choosing it to be Bonney rather than Blackhawk) it was red only on the sides that show.
Red, although it has seen the abuse of time. Here is a shot of the inside:
