They look pretty sturdy.
Any idea how thick the steel sheet is?
AL.
Also, do they hold 20 liters or 5 gallons?

Hit an estate sale yesterday, and one today. Yesterdays was OK, but I wasn't expecting much and it was close by. Todays looked great in the pics, but it was kinda far. So I figured what the heck lets do it, it starts at 11 but I can't make it til noon. Get there, still have to wait in line, finely get inside, and the prices are sky high! 75 bucks for an old SK set kinda high. Manage to find a couple things that weren't too bad. Got the Speedex tin full of machine screws and the extension yesterday for $3 and the P&C rat and Whitney punch today for $10.50

Better than at the pawn shop where the manager called me a White Haitian when I didn’t care for a price he gave.

At the risk of angering those who are fed up with 5 gallon gas cans, could we see the markings on the bottoms of the cans?

You guys on the other hand are bordering on rabblerousing!Also, do they hold 20 liters or 5 gallons?
Nice find, LS! That's the first time I have ever seen one. Did you date it yet? Late 40's?...a Craftsman stubby anvil pruner with remnants of dark blue paint clinging to the aluminum handles...
You had more patience than me! I've shared my a-hole vendor stories in the past. There are two guys in particular who like to immediately insult anyone who dares even question a price or make an offer, and whose stuff I walk past on purpose now, eyes locked forward, just hoping they ask me why I'm not even looking so I can say, "I wouldn't take your stuff if it were for free."Sometimes you have to know when to walk. Especially when people talk to you like an a-hole.

Yes, looks like they were made from 1988 to 1990 as universal test leads for the military. They looked good for $2.Huh. Judging from the NSN and FSCM on the package, those were apparently military issue.

They hold 5 gallons if you're in the U.S. and 20 liters if you're not.

I won this vise on an online auction. Picture #1 was the only Picture the auction company listed. The listing said "8N 187 Vise". I couldn't tell how big it was so I put in a max bid of $15 dollars and won it for 15 dollars.
Wednesday Craigslist find. $25 for the Craftsman top and bottom box with contents. My favorites are the original Craftsman toolbox and Cole vise and drill pamphlets. I even found one of the Craftsman Chevron emblems for the boxes. I also found the KEYS for the boxes!
