Are the ones with shiny inside Revere Ware? If so, it sells alright, but I hate using it. The liner is stainless steel and everything seems to stick to it--IME.
Those aren't Revere Ware. They're copper cookware with a tin coating for the food. Quite desirable if cleaned up.Are the ones with shiny inside Revere Ware? If so, it sells alright, but I hate using it. The liner is stainless steel and everything seems to stick to it--IME.
That looks much more like an SS liner than tinning. You can get tin to look that bright--for an hour or two before it grays again.Those aren't Revere Ware. They're copper cookware with a tin coating for the food. Quite desirable if cleaned up.
My first set of pots and pans was the hand-me-down Revere set, I kinda wish I'd kept them.
It was @WabiSaabi who had the Mauviel pots.Pretty good morning today, a decent amount of sales to hit.
$1
Milwaukee razor knife with bit holder
Stanley 295a rasp needs a little handle clean up
Next was $20 for the ratchet $5 for the rest
Indestro super 2278 3/4 drive ratchet
Standard tool drill box with mismatched drill index. Still cool though
Starrett 245 gauge set
1000 grit stone
Nice old magnetic knife holder in the box
Proto LA 1/2” wrench
Millers Falls tape measure
Next was a few copper clad pans 1 has made in Portugal for $20. I know someone recently found a whole bunch them on here, can’t remember who though.
Last was $15, 10 for the hammer and the rest from the $ table,
Plomb double box pebble pat. 3/4 - 7/8
Billings double box 11/16 - 19/32
Billings engineers wrench 5/8”
Herbrand phillips driver very nice tip
Stanley North brother push driver. Needs a good scrubbing.
Marples 7715 4” mallet
This is the last, just some V & VV 6 point sockets $5

Bonus shot of a very sad wooden toolbox.
the quick release chuck on my drill press has been jammed forever

Revere made a line of copper pots and pans with the SS liner. I've had a couple of their skillets and passed them on to friends who don't have as many shits to give about the utility of cookware--just about the appearance of it.
I have several tinned cooper skillets and lots of CI--which you're welcome to when they're pried from my cold, dead fingers....

I was thinking it’s not a horn.
You would have earned a "You ****" for the pressed steel socket set alone, but for $5...Wonder of wonders, there were three interesting sales in my neck of the woods, and two of them didn't disappoint.
\
The first sale I hit was run by a woman I know, and she gave me a great deal. Here I found the 3/4hp electric motor (untested), pressed steel socket set, 9/32" socket driver, pencil sharpener burrs, Snap-on screw driver, and brace drill chuck for $5. The second stop was a family run sale, and they were trying to scratch every two nickels together. A lot of interesting things, but they wanted way to much for most of them. I picked up the Duro/Indestro braker bar and Walden flextension for $1. Finally, another family run sale that had no pics in the ad, but mentioned a full sized shop. Well, it was full of mostly cheap tools, but I did manage to find a bunch of small taps, 10-32 all they way down to 2-56, a Starrett box with a couple pieces of HSS steel, and a few US made end mills, again paying $5.
So, a nice day for $11 total.
I think it's a set of copper pans, for export, from Portugal from the seventies.
I'd say walrus like Patrick due to size and shape. Too big for a pig, too small for an elephant. Still illegal to sell or buy but should be fine to own technically.
Warthog!My guess is walrus. @Mr. Wonderful
Walrus tusk. Pretty sure it's on the "no-no" list.









Some nice scores guys!
This morning I left the house a bit late, but with a plan to go to the tiny flea market.
I only made it to the corner when I spotted a yard sale sign on the next block. Something told me to check it out.
I pull up to the house with the sign and see one small table of stuff out back.Another sign read “More stuff inside”. Things were looking up. It was about 8:30 and the sale looked dead. I pulled into the next driveway to make 3 pt turn and park. Suddenly a work truck comes barreling down the street before I can even back out. I assumed they were passing through but no, they slam to a stop facing the wrong way exactly where I was about to park.
Two guys jump out of the truck and rush into the backyard. I was slightly irritated but parked and followed in behind them.
No one in the backyard. Just a table of misc. household stuff, and the guys hustled to it. I saw a sign “Just walk in” by the back door. I opened the door with the two guys right on my heels. I was greeted by two nice older ladies who said come on in and a room full of household goods and collectibles for sale.
My eyes shot around the room and stopped on a big tray of tools at about shin height right in front of me. Big neon green sign read “.50 each”. As I’m bending to look, the two guys barely through the door behind me, I see a Snap-On ratchet handle buried in the mix. No way! Here? Knowing I needed to act quick or step aside, I blurted out “How much for the whole thing?” One lady jokingly says 100 bucks. The other says, “Hmmm, $8.”. SOLD! I wasn’t playing around with those bozos after they tried to beat me out.
The one guy asked if there were any more tools. The lady said no that’s all they had and the guys immediately split. I thought they might go mess up my car.I felt slightly bad but hey, I got to them first.
Anyway, it was almost all ladies stuff. My wife and I went back this afternoon and dropped 25 bucks on some nice clothes and jewelry for her. The women were super nice and prices cheap. I think she left with about 20 items.
A further look through the tray of tools and I was quite happy! Turned out to be a long Snap-On 1/4” ratchet, several extensions, an S-K extension, Blue-Point screwdrivers and socket driver, hiding in there too! Others are Craftsman, Stanley, Commercial Electric, Vaco, Gearwrench, Diehard, Klein,etc.. I made a good quick decision for once. The flea market after yielded nothing, but the sale certainly surprised.

It’s been broken on the tip. It’s not hollow for the length. Just the first two inches if that helpsNot a horn I think that's tusk? but from what?
That looks to have more of a chisel tip? can you verify?
If a tusk of the 7 animals in contention, warthog, and Elephant are most likely is it hollow fill elngth? elepht fil sas i grows.
Once the vise grip is on the chuck, how do I lock the spindle or what do I lock onto?start with Murphy's oil soap and then rationalize your re-glue plan for any de-lamination going on, then assess, any structural.
Translation: It'll buff out!
get a larger pair of Vise Grip "LW's 7LW may work 10LM will work.

It looks like walrus tusks can grow as long as 39”. Federal regulation exists, but more applicably, some states outright ban it. Not sure about your stateIt’s been broken on the tip. It’s not hollow for the length. Just the first two inches if that helps

I think two options: rely on inertia, and whack the visegrip with a hammer, hard, or use two visegrips against each other (opposite directions), the other on the drill bit.
Not sure if these should count, since I got them from my FIL’s garage after his passing - three decades ago (they were mounted on an oak plaque, which I also have). I had them over my desk at work for years. Now I plan to remount them and gift them to my SIL-to-be.I'm going to wander over to the Craftsman drill press thread as the real solution is to get rid of the crappy quick release chuck, otherwise it's the ol' heave hoe.I think two options: rely on inertia, and whack the visegrip with a hammer, hard, or use two visegrips against each other (opposite directions), the other on the drill bit.
Thanks! Yes, was exactly $8. At first I was thinking I should have dug through, but then I realized I’d have easily spent $8 or more anyway.$8 for all this?!? You do **** if that's the case.
I’ve been told that, and do believe in Karma as well. I’ve found and returned 3 wallets found on the road in the past year+. Good Karma.3bay. I am a firm believer in Karma/balance, and your story is a perfect example.
On the opposite side, when I had a cleaning out sale here, the first guy in immediately rushed to the bin labelled Snap-On (had stuff nearly sorted by brand), yelled at others trying to look, and after a couple min, grabbed the entire tub (probably chafing dish sized or larger) and asked me how much for everything. He didn't like my answer of "Several Hundred $$", and after he put it down, wouldn't let anyone look in until he was done. His prices at checkout were substantially higher than the guys who put up with him and were polite to me as they shopped.

EDIT - maybe combine the two: lower the bit through the hole in the center of the table, then grab it with one visegrip, allowing the visegrip handle to engage with the underside wall of the table, then lock unto and whack the visegrip on the chuck. I think there’s still a good chance of just breaking off the bit, but this method is probably slightly better than torqueing on the bit with you hand.
Together, they’re “as long as a man.”
“That long?”
“Aye.”
“Some men are longer than others.
