2018 Garage Sale Thread

[damon18]

Damon,
What size is the D-I socket at the bottom left of this picture? I might be interested in trading for that one.
Thanks,
-Don

I believe it's a 1/2 inch drive 1 1/8 socket, I'll clean it up, can't read the part number now.

 

[Outlawmws]

Damon, its probably not for car body work but lighter copper or silver smiting work.

 

[damon18]

Damon- I have a question too., what make is the little 4 way offset screwdriver in your third picture? That old Wright socket is different looking too.

Can't tell on the screwdriver, what would something like that be used for? If it had four different type tips I could understand but they are all slots.

It is stamped something like "PT CO MADE USA".

I was guessing this might mean Plomb Tools since there are some other Plomb items. But haven't found that Plomb (or PROTO) ever made anything like this.

Check the pics and see what you think. Hard to take pictures of this, the item is only 5 1/2 inches long and the shaft with the stamping is less than 1/4".

Speaking of my new GI Joe toy box..., it came with its own Field Manual, and a jeep on the back!

Somewhere there is a toy collector with a mint GI Joe and no box that would kill for that.

 

[Hexen]

I cleaned it up a little and it says PEXTO Made In USA.

It's exactly 4 inches between the two faces.

Seems kind of delicate for body work if that is what it's for.

Yes, this photo (which I came across months ago and have been saving for just such an occasion ) of a silversmith's collection of shiny hammers includes similar designs:

Nice! Maybe I should polish mine.

 

[Provincial]

I had never seen those before so I grabbed them. I couldn't find any manufacturer marked just part numbers and the range of travel of each spanner.
Here are some more pictures.
I also want to know what the thread's host is doing with my wife's matchbox on his new GI Joe toy box?
-Don

The largest crowfoot adjustable spanner looks like it has a pin instead of a hook. Or is it just the shadow in the photo? The W-8000 numbers often indicate Wright Aeronautical, and are seen on tools used on Wright aircraft engines. The Navy used Wright piston engines into the late 1970's.

Thanks for checking. I’m looking for an 1-1/16” socket it that’s what it turns out to be.

Thanks, Arne. I didn't know they came with a top tray. What held the tray up? I don't see any slots or tabs or anything. The only thing on the inside are the retainers on the ends of the rope handles.

And lastly, this EJ McAleer box with contents,

What brand and sizes are the ignition wrenches?

Nice haul, btw. Love the badge on the Indestro box.

Been having trouble loading pics on the site the past two weekends. I'll try again later. Keeps saying a security token issue.

Are you looking for just any 1 1/16 socket, or something special?

If you're not keeping, put the Bonney, Duro and Williams aside for me, please. Future trade. Those AT-8048 dupes look like Merlin-Packard wrenches. Or possibly Fairchild. EDIT: Definitely Merlin. And its a size snapmom needs. Link.

You have to re-size them. The site isn't automatically re-sizing photos anymore. I've been using 700 x 520.

I think you touched on the one remaining brand whose resale value had not yet been inflated by GJ discussion. The last pair of those sold on everbody’s favorite auction site recently for...are you ready for this...$0.06. ...[ ]... Out of curiosity I was just looking to see if there were other tools under that name, and there are.

Too funny! I guess the buyer got HIS MONEY'S WORTH. But where did you see other tools with the same marking? I had the same thought, tried the same thing, and found a Tire Repair Kit and a Sear's hat with that slogan on it. Thinking it may have been a Sear's brand, I searched on any number of combinations with and without Sears, and with any number of tools, with no luck.

Wait. You don't already have a bin for me? Now I need to go back and try to remember what things I wanted in the past. I know I have a massive 1920's Bonney wrench set aside for one of your boards.

Now that is cool, that Field Manual is just like a real one LOL.

 

[madison069]

This was today's haul, a Craftsman 3" vise, Craftsman 3" machinist vise, and husky tools with a lonely snapon wrench, and a clench wrench. I also got a Harley Davidson brake fluid can. All for $16

See if the resized pics worked.

 

[madison069]

Thanks lugnutz! It worked for me that time!

Or you can upload one at a time, that error seems to only happen if you try to attach multiple images in one go, IIRC. Can keep going back to edit the post to add more, one by one.

HAHA. Okay, will do. My stash was recently depleted in a trade, but I have some stuff left.

I only searched Ebay listings. There is an old auger drill bit. Under completed listings, the pliers and an old wood chisel.

Is that a Craftsman drill bit box? The blue one? Also that Craftsman ratchet is in nice shape!

 

[ecotec]

I already posted this in the oiler can thread, but I bought this Rainbow branded Eagle at an estate sale today for $2.50. The original price, in the 50’s or 60’s, was $1.69.

It is a drill bit box.....Some of the chisels and punches were in the blue one

Craigslist find, 80 bucks. 3 year old large view lincoln viking. Small crack on the filter lense but I haven't noticed it welding, probably wouldnt have noticed it if I hadnt replaced the outer plastic lense and battery. Its a little cosmetically rough on the shell but great functionally.

 

[mattblast]

One sale today. It was an estate sale from a local architect. Ugly house but it was huge. Finished basement with 8ft ceilings. Lots of space.

One small workshop in a section of the basement. Here is what I got for $15 (the asking price)


Brass and copper


Consumables. I’ll eventually use all of them.


Panasonic KP-33. I’ll be able to sell this more than I paid for everything.


K&E 12oz plumb bob
Esterbrook pen nibs
Dietzgen thumbtacks
Various pen and pencil refills


Lab clamps
Compass
Folding metal yardstick (made in Germany)
Pipe clamp inserts for vise


Body hammer
Sargent punch
Eyelet tool
Parallel jaw pliers


Yankees and brace bits


Sears chainsaw sharpening guide
Pruner
Grobet Swiss files
Craftsman 4” adjustable wrench
Snapon 7/16” combo wrench
1/2” 9/16” tappet wrench


Two odd drivers
Craftsman 1/4” driver that has a 1/4” female fitting at top of handle
Spintite 1/4” nut driver with a shaft that can be pulled about an inch up.





Wilson spectacles. Also probably worth more than I paid for everything.

 

[BlueBomber]

Nicely done, Matt.

Nothing in range for me today. Instead, I got around to scrapping the Craftsman radial arm saw I got last month. I dropped the motor and rail off at FedEx today and should get the recall check in another month.

State auction today...picked up two Vidmar cabinets for $600. They were used to store electronics so they're in fantastic shape, though the bearings need a bit of greasing. I'm going to remove the casters and put them where my blueprint cabinets currently are...going to be hard to get rid of those.

 

[Outlawmws]

OK wasn't expecting to spend anything like this much at an Estate Sale ever, but I did. First stop too... And I STILL completed the planned rounds...


$2800 at stop one...

Lots O Drill bits, more in the envelopes...

Couple of books, I really like Jack O'conners writing, even after 50-60 years his gun/shooting advise is good. and a couple og fly reels

The boot jack is sort of creepy, is it a "cow-boy" or a devil? in any case its solid brass. Door lock guide, Small dado, German dykes (Lobster logo?), and "Pearl Duck, Dubl Duck" scissors...

Makita Power planer

Plano box and Parts bin I'll probably use for Coleman parts.

Stanley mini router, and an old 5" Clamp

NOS 10" Hacksaw blades, and boot and shop brushes

More to come!
