I stopped by an estate sale yesterday on my lunch break. Didn't find much, but did get this 1/2" artisan, 2 SK extensions, and a 3/8-1/2" female adapter. For the grand total of 2 bucks.

Nice little lunch-haul. And calorie-friendly to boot.

Hah. Nice haul Catfish.
Bomber- cool pics. As you rode along the river you were blocks from where alot of wrenches were made. McKaig Hatch, Bergman, Barcalo, Keystone, Westcott, Williams, etc. were not far from the water.
That’s pretty cool about Idol. Didn’t know they were there. Canalside’s a great place. If you ever have a chance to go to the Naval museum there, it’s nice too.

Thanks! One of my favorite things to do on this thread from time to time! What the heck is that freestanding apparatus? A foot-pedal vise?

I am definitely on a little three-day hot streak here, guys!! Here is my early bird haul.
The tool cabinet in the back, on its side, is a Craftsman, with a Heritage Era =CRAFSMAN= badge on the inside. I'm going to do some catalog research later, starting in 1948. I'll post more photos later, probably in Drives' cabinet thread. It's probably a little late for Outlaw's Long C thread.
That OD green hip roof box in the front with the leather handle is a genuine WWII M1 Armorer's Toolbox and it even includes the removable top try inside. I haven’t figured out the maker yet. I will be posting more on toolboxes thread.
The loose tools include two (2) New Britain Bendix brake tools, M-105 and M-106. The little one is a Keen Kutter (my first ever Keen Kutter of any kind)! The S-wrench is a pre-war Bonney. A brass drift (unmarked). A 6" Heller Masterench. And the speeder is a 1/2-inch drive TRUTH. (Which is weird, because I hardly ever see any TRUTH tools out there, and now I pick up a sliding tee and a speeder in two days, at two different flea markets). I'll be posting close-ups of all these on their respective threads.
All of the above was flea market #1.
I almost drove by flea market #2 without stopping because I had to get to work, and because I was nearly tapped out. Glad I listened to the little red devil on my other shoulder instead.
The Thorsen combination wrench is probably unsalvageable, but the 1/2-inch drive "-D-I-" socket has a 12-point 1-1/16" service opening, which is not easy to find. Guys doing "-D-I-" sets for WWII GMTK's are almost always looking for these and the 1-1/8".

The Craftsman wall cabinets have been posted here from time to time, there were two versions - one for mechanic's tools and one for carpenter's tools (it had provisions for hanging a hand saw, etc.) They're pretty cool.

That's a nice Craftsman Box you go there. I've been on the hunt for something like that and the woodworkers version for a while. Great find.

Thanks, Stuart. It's a tough thing to search on without a part number. Do you have a part number? And do you know the first year it was offered? I haven't cracked a catalog yet.
Will do, Smokey!
So cool! It makes perfect sense, and I grew up in a factory town, but I have to admit I'm not sure I was aware of such a thing before I saw your pic. It was just intuitive.
Thanks. Honesty, I had no knowledge of a wall cabinet before I saw it, but when I saw it, I had to have it!
Do you have a model number? Do you know when they first started making it? Where did you get the picture? THAT example is freaking mint-y compared to mine. Gotta say though - I am loving the authenticness of mine. The stickers on it are radical!

Sweet find on the cabinet Lugz. I never see those.
This is all from a pricey sale yesterday. A speed shop with high priced but like new to lightly used tooling and equipment. I poked around till I found some stuff and think I did alright for $35.
Irwin screw extractor set
BRM flex hone
General wiggler set
Enderes punch
Wright 1” drive 1-1/8 socket
Jacobs collets and wrenches
Aircraft Tool bucking bars
Starrett edge finder

Yes, I believe it is. It's not in the 1948. So, sometime between 1949 and 1952. Model number 99C04387. It's the cover photo on the 1952 catalog!!!!
I honestly didn't even know it existed. Just one of those turn your head and there it is things!

If you don’t mind, what did you pay for the cabinet?

I don't usually like to dwell on that, but it was $35. Talked down from $50. The guy went partners with another guy on a house closeout. Ironically, I first went up to the other guy, who has always been really high, unreasonably high on everything, for a price. I was glad he pointed to this guy. I don't know how they did the split on selling stuff, but I was glad they did. They had two trailer loads of stuff to get rid of between them this weekend, at least 8 or 9 other guys actively pawing through stuff, and he was really dealing.
That's the woodworkers' version, Andy. The size of the cabinet is the same, but the hanging hooks etc and their placement in the cabinet and doors are different. Yours is really clean!
Thanks, Dan!
All,
I've posted more photos of the Craftsman mechanics' tools cabinet in the 'Show your Heritage Logo love' thread, linked here. Posts #202 through #205 on page 11.

Sorry for the uncomfortable dwelling on the price [emoji51] I was just asking as I don’t know the market very well on these and it helps me to have a number in my head in case I should ever find one of these beauties in the wild ! I would say that you deserve a you **** as I don’t think they are very common !

I don't know the market very well, Smoke. And I don't know how rare they are, either. My gut tells me they're not common and that a hard-core Heritage era collector with a hankering to hang his =V= tools in there might be willing to pay at least 3 x that! (But that's based merely on the fact that I would if it was Long C era!

There is a clean one on the bay now in the 3x price range right now! Either way I would say you could at least double your money especially since it the earlier darker grey.

GREAT finds guys!
Lugz, the cabinet was a definite USUCK. your guess on price is probably on the low end, dependent on condition of course.
I've got no wall space for one of those, but I'd buy one (either model) in a New York minute!

Thanks, Outlaw. Did you see the close-ups of the stickers that are on the door in the 'Heritage Logo Love' thread? One is humorous and the other is classic 50's motorhead.
All,
If anyone knows the sequence and date ranges of the different Heritage era badge variants, please reply in the 'Heritage Logo Love' thread. That Craftsman page that has been out there on the net forever showing the decals by date does not distinguish between Heritage badge variants within the Heritage era (1948-1963).

Decent day at the garage sales today! Craftsman 1/2 & 3/8 RHFT ratchets, new Kromedge tap & die set, Cornwell combination wrench set (needs a 13/16), old school Craftsman V series swivel socket set. Three Snap-on rebuilding kits for ratcheting adapters, complete with instructions. Probably 3/4dr I suspect.A really nice metric drill guide thats in three hinged pieces that can stand up in a triangle or fold flat.

I have the same set in SAE though my case is damaged.

In terms of the wrench, are you asking about the sears made Dunlap wrench or the Williams made super wrench? Also nice find on the wall cabinet! Looks like they are coming out of the woodwork this weekend[emoji23]

So I went out to hit up a couple garage sales in the area before work today. The first one had a lot of tools and I ended up taking home 2 planes that appear to be pretty much complete if a bit ugly along with an oiler and a True Value double bit cruiser. I then went to check out the other one and came away with the two pipe wrenchs. So I went back to the first one which had the big 1 man saw, they also had a bigger two man but it was a bit more than I budgeted today. There was also a Wright socket set in it's metal box but it was either that or the saw and I know I'll have more fun with the saw.
