Been focusing a bit on the rarer stuff lately and thought I'd post a couple things.

First, a Mechanics Tool & Forge combo set.

Second is a pre date code Cornwell wrench roll.

Very nice twertsy, especially with them being complete sets with rolls

I am in the same boat. I have been cutting back on the normal run of the mill stuff and now I am also on the look out for older unique stuff.

Especially like the old MAC set. I can't get over how much the older MAC, Cornwell and Vanadium Tool Co. wrenches look alike.

The MAC is missing 2 wrenches, 7/16 and 3/16. I fiound that on ebay last week, very early in the morning with a very reasonable BIN so I snagged it.

Lovely when you just happen to be in the right place at the right time, isn't it. I bought some propane torches the other week in similar circumstances. Browsing Ebay in the middle of the night, and came across a fresh listing, only a few hours old, with a good buy it now price.

That 1/2 & 3/8 set is a thing of beauty. Is the swivel hook thingy in the bottom right corner part of the set?

Wow indeed. Is the entire shelf above the wrenches on the Rotamat dedicated to punches and chisels? If so will have to check and see if I have any for you to fill some slots.

Yes, and you wouldn't believe how hard they are to find with LA on them. The top rung is Screwdrivers, Punches/Chisels and Pliers. As hard as those three are to find, my biggest issue is Snips. I've only found 1 and there are 4 more spots for different sizes.............
