Indeed, a lot of interesting stuff. I may go back tomorrow for half price day, although it looked like they were already starting on the discounts to move stuff along, if the pricing I got was any indication.
I have 5/8" and 11/16" in 1/4" drive, but made by Armstrong. Seems they were special order, and not cataloged.
That would be my first thought , but then I nabbed this picture off of ebay:
I dunno if true, but I like it. Never seen one beforeMy wife picked up this mystery tool. I guessed wingnut wrench but I really have no idea.
A couple nice finds early this morning. I left the sale 10 minutes before the start time!
$5 each, 24" and 18" Crescent adjustables.
I don't go to many garage sales. This one was a few doors down and I saw it while chatting with a neighbor.
Took a look and didn't see much. Then I saw this tennis bag with the wo racquets in it.
My son is starting tennis next year, so I figured some extra gear would make sense. Asked how much. She said make an offer. I said $10. She said how about $15 as the bag cost more than that. I said sure.
Got home and discovered the bag had 3 brand new containers of Wilson balls in a pocket.
Then I looked up the two racquets. One is nothing special, about $25 new. The white one was some prince pinnacle limited edition that sold for $100 when new.
This grinder was sitting on the ground at an estate sale this morning. When I bent down to check the hp rating, I heard the gentleman running the sale that he had just taken it out of its original box. Unfortunately it is only a 1/4 hp. Never been assembled or used. Any ideas on the year of this? I can not find a date anywhere on it. Thanks
I saw both of those sales and was thinking about going todayI went to two sales today, both large shop sales out in the country.
The first one, I hit around noon on the second day, and apparently it had been non-stop all the time before that. It was the estate of a farmer diesel mech, and there was a lot of interesting stuff, but the tools had either been picked clean, or removed beforehand. But I managed to find a Victor hacksaw box, some woodie drivers, bearing scrapers, a small wrench, and MT1 and MT2 drill bits. $10.
Oh, and the Victor box is full of tooling
The second stop was also for the shop of a country mechanic, tractors this time.
A Proto three jaw puller for a slide hammer, Remington 740 magazine, and WWII ammo can. $5
So the diesel mechanic sale in canby still has stuff left? I was thinking about going to that today as this is the soonest I can get there? I don’t want to waste my time however if there is nothing left
New in box with figure?
Thanks for the feedback, the box is 24” wide. I don’t see any evidence of a label, but maybe it will become evident as I begin cleaning it.@SC Fly Guy
How wide is the Snap-on box?
As stated in @firstyearchevelle ’s catalog shot, 20-1/4” is a K22 and maybe doesn’t have a decal; 24” is a K23 and probably had a decal under that red spray-over. If the decal was oval, it would be from the late 1930s. If triangular, then the 1940s.
I have a K23 with the oval decal under red spray as found. I’ve since repainted gray, but don’t seem to have an updated pic on my phone (away for weekend).
The backsaw (at least, the medallion) was manufactured by Disston, but branded generic “Warranted Superior” probably from the early 1950s. A closeup of the medallion might clarify - maybe a replacement, but the handle seems to be the same age.
If we rely on Google AI we get this story which in my mind makes sense:
Nah, played with. Looks like everything is present, the canopy was in the box. Free box has figure placards, newsletters, etc.
I give a YOU ****! What a bargain. Some of the best toys.
That's good to know in regards to the trigger as mine is exactly the same way. Oddly enough, I'm really enjoying plugging away with this gun as it has such low power I can pretty much fire it at anything and not worry too much about where the bb going if I miss. The bonus is that it's the perfect gun for learning how to do gun spinning tricks. I've can almost consistently do a front and back roll and now on to bigger and better.
It is a 4” jointer.
Duly noted. I blame my high school shop teacher for the misnomer … I’ll go kick some dirt on his grave tomorrow!
Possibly Oxwall, I just threw away a Oxwall tool kit that had sockets like that in it, all marked USA
Can anyone ID these sockets? Just the size U.S.A. and vertical lines around the body.
I used to build models when I was a kid.
Hot Rods, Warplanes and tanks.....
I painted them with a Paasche airbrush that was powered by a spare tire
I would have truly burst into tears of joy if I had gotten this compressor for my birthday or as a Christmas present
Fast forward many years..........I'm entirely delighted to find this Paasche compressor at a sale.
I've been looking for something like this to do touch up paint work
