You know, I have several sets for that, but none quite like this one, but I think you are right. Often made for yard sticks.That's actually a piece off of a trammel set put a pointy stick under the thumb screw, clamp to a long piece of wood and away you go. If you don't ever find the second piece you can always just put a nail in the other end of the stick.

No slides. There is a complete set of Mossberg sockets, a number of Hinsdale sockets, a bunch of misc. a number of Schrader valve tools, a vintage lock, and the original lock (sans key) is in there.

Wow, you ****. Looks like a nice Starrett Automatic Center Punch amongst the goodies. Great haul.Had the day off and despite my better judgement decided to go to a pro run sale that was heavily advertised and stuffed to the gills with vintage collectibles...toys, jewelry, you name it. Saw a big tool box in one pic and decided I'd try and run by after the initial frenzy had died down.
It was a madhouse, by the time I finally got in they were on page 12 of the listplus I saw some of the regular tool guys and figured for sure the box would be picked clean. Was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of stuff and filled one of the provided plastic grocery baskets with about 30 pounds of ****.
They had the prices listed at $2 per tool and I was bracing for the worst at checkout. As I was waiting in line I tried to get a gal working the sale to price it for me so I didn't hold up the line and after some very rudimentary pawing through the basket she just said "we'll do a price on the lot, I'm not counting all that"
After about 1/2 hour of waiting in line I got up to the front and waited for them to hit me with a crazy number, but nope! The cashier says "How bout $25?" One of the guys working the sale was standing nearby and I'd heard him arguing tool prices with another customer earlier, thought for sure he was going to dime me out! He just says "Wow..." and off I went
With out further ado, here's the whole thing:
The old hubs are for a Chevy squarebody I think, don't know why I bought these other than that they were cheap! Drivers are Snap on and Mac, the swivel socket set is foreign junk but someone will want it I think. The Bonney tappets are my favorite, they still have the stickers on a couple of them!
Craftsman drill index is 100% complete, a few Proto bits and some randoms. The little metric hex sockets are Challenger.
Large pile of USA Craftsman stuff, I've pretty much sold through all my drive tools so it's nice to restock!
Gout is the worst! I’ve had it a few times and the flares lasted months. Worst pain ever.
Unfortunately the punch is a General…I can’t leave these behind when I see them though and I have a few Starretts in the collection.
You **** for the C-clamp!MrsLS & I set up at Jake’s Flea this morning under Venus and a waning crescent moon to sell some more of son-in-law’s discard pile of graphic novels, toy cars, decor. I found a few opportunities to slip away and had mixed results netting bargains.
BEST DEAL was the 3” LSStarrett Co vise - $15. Sometimes people just don’t know what they have. Guy also had a split-tail Parker welded onto a trailer hitch mount and a big Asian import as well, which I think he valued the most.
Small Bonney and Goodell Pratt table vises - $15. Sometimes they do know what they have. Frankly, this was a mistake on my part. I saw two other Bonney vises toward the end of my money that I liked better.
Bonney 3/8dr ratchet. My brain refused to read my phone notes correctly, so now for $10 I have a fourth T702K for no good reason.
PS&W 5” Steel Screw C-clamp for $4. Wahoo! Only had a 5” iron screw previously.
Big and very big long-reach landing nets (without tears in the netting) - $2 and $5. A replacement net (if you can find one) is 5-10x that. Now my fishing buddy can stop complaining that we don’t have one, and start complaining that it takes up too much room in the boat.
Shakespeare Alpha 5’ spinning rod with Daiawa reel - $4. (I said yesterday how much I like these rods - I feel like a teen again when I’m using one.)
Three small hammer handles $1ea. His signage said $3ea, but I helped Bob attach a third umbrella (which he said he got at auction for $5 - they retail at $35-45) to his outdoor tables. I would not have paid $3, but I don’t
mind helping Bob out when he needs it.
Box joint linemans pliers - $1. Probably German, by the shape of the cutters. We’ll see.
1954 Craftsman Jointer Shaper and Thickness Planer handbook - $1.
The VHS (which will resolve two disputes if it plays), dictionary, book, binders and sweatshirt were appropriated from our own hoard, but may be sold tomorrow, as we are going back for the bigger Sunday crowd.

But not on Disney.
Looks like a good project, but that's a great deal!
That's a USUCK deal!
Its solid, just paint flaking and surface rust. Around here people want $200+ for JUST a frame in this shape.
Well, don’t you ****! Great deal on a great classic knife. There’s a reason that design endures. Great find.Here are today's finds:
I don't recall if I posted this knife yet:
$15.
It's a Marttiini Lynx 121 puukko, a tradition Finish do-all knife. It's the first model of knife Marttiini made back in '28, and they still make 'em today--but they're different from mine. I sent an e-mail to Marttiini to see if they can date it.
Most modern Americans would find this grip far too short. It's 3 1/2" from the base of the blade to the beginning of the pommel, with no guard or ricasso--very easy to have your finger slip onto the SHARP Skandi grind.
