A good day, but only three stops had anything worthwhile! (other than I did get two sockets for 50c at one other; one SK one Proto)
Stop one was the big one:
Two carry boxes (Well one was an old 40’s metal tackle box…) semi-full of tools and almost all were good ones. Here are the boxes; Contents pending:
Second good stop had a few tools and an interesting small box, with some Stiletto inlaid bench snips, and what I think is my first Plumb screwdriver (if I have any others, it will be with wood handles…) An interesting flat plumb bob, Near new Vaughan claw hammer head, a small old “brownie” clamp, some really old Barcalo pliers, and three fine detail tools for leather. The tiny envelope has more of the tips for the tooling tools. All went into the (empty) box for a total.
Also not shown was an old (Antique?) V hoe, light duty, not kid sized, but not fullsized. that is going with my similar small spade and small maybe 8" wide iron rake), and from a free pile, an old iron (not tin) ash shovel.
A stop later in the day while on an errand, got me a Roper Whitney DA-5 Aluminum rivet set, (air craft use I believe; retails for $499!! ) and two govt’ issue body hammer, (both have ABC cast in, one handle is marked US Govt. and one head has USN scribed on the edge of a hammer face)
Next two posts for the first stop’s Tools from those boxes:
