Picked up a Dewalt DW708 Compound Sliding Miter Saw off the curb this morning heading to work (was only 2 minutes from my house). Just got home and tried it out. Works Great and looks like it was only used a couple of times. Can't beat FREE Stuff!!!
Went out and got some actual pics of it.

I would guess it's from a previous incarnation of Parker Hannifin, they're big in the hydraulic and pneumatic product world and they still sell flaring tools. https://ph.parker.com/us/en/products

A few things today: A Blue Point #1020 screw extractor kit, a couple Bernard pliers and a cute little 6" Rigid pipe wrench. The larger Bernard pliers is an oldie, it has a patent date of 1890.
I have that extractor set in my WW2 Navy NAF toolbox. Snap-on sourced those sets from Ridgid and some of the components have Ridgid markings. I had to find a second partial set to complete mine.

I found some tools at local garage sales but was shut out at the Tahoe flea. I’m hoping for better results tomorrow. The Stanley hammer desperately needs a new handle but the US made Craftsman sockets are mostly unused -V- and -G-. The first picture is everything, the second is the metric sockets and the last is the american sockets.

Snap-On Blue-Point still sells a 1020 extractor kit today that appears to be substantially the same thing, except in a plastic blow molded case: http://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Extractors/product/Extractor-Set-190 I wonder if they sell individual replacement pieces for the kit.

A GOOD day today; but the scores were from unexpected places!
First stop (and one of the bigger scores) was just a few blocks away, The pics and all made me be sure to get there AND they had an early start!
What was Bizarre was NO ONE showed the entire 20-25 minutes I was there!
They had several sets of boxed or racked sockets, BU if the Porto and SK were any indication most were Asian import?
I left those behind...
Three buckets of Wrenches, DOE, Combo and DBE... I rummaged all three!
From the top: Herbrand, P&C, Proto, Plvmb, Indestro, Bonney (but NOT marked "Zenel"?
Barcalo, SO and.. (Drum Roll) Handy Andy! 
Then Odds and ends from all over:
A Stanley Sweetheart 743 2" clamp on vise, virtually unmolested! Western 5" folder with two blades, wil need considerable cleanup; Odd Hammer, Simplex mini jack, USMC "Safety Pin" that also had the giant paper clip on it, A couple of odd adjustable I need to clean up, Slim pliers, the wood capsule has small Yankee bits, he metal one the bit actually sue the capsule as a handle! see the slot? tees in right there! (Needs a corkscrew! )
and a GIANT two handed screwdriver! Bridgeport hardware! all this for $25 total
THEN it was off to a huge Block sale that is usually pretty good. It was OK but not spectacular
$1 for the Bag of W-W brass 38 cases: $1 for the pewter Deer head shot Glass; .25c for the hand drill missing the operative parts of the chuck; $1 for the punch with the "handle"; .25c for the little leather note book it has a Celtic Knot embossed on it.
$1 for the half can of Coleman fuel, $1 for the Hot pads (for camping - these can double as "gloves"; FREE shingles (wanted these for stove shims camping. easier to get the stove level than mess with fine tuning a table...) and a new ten foot redwood bender board that may provide the lid material for the "cheese Box" utensils box I made.
This all came from one place, but two stops (I got there early so drove through 2X as many were still setting up)
The oiler was a buck (the guy thought it was for injecting cattle or horses...) the slide button on the side moves the rod through the "needle". $5 for the rest- Craftsman RHFT 1/4, SO Extension, Mac impacts, Long C Craftsman, P&C, and Plvmb sockets,
A bit more to come!

I went back to one of yesterdays estate sales and brought a volt meter and tested there batteries: All fully charged! for $10 I bought the car battery for my daughter Project Samurai, and two of the other smaller battery - these will probably become secondary batteries ob my Sami and the Toy Van project with old school Ford relays so I can self jump by touching a button, they will also drive accessories like a winch and driving/cargo lights.
Another non Block sale find was the smaller aluminum teapot, which I will use camping (2 cup capacity) for Hot cocoa and instant oatmeal hot water. A buck for it and a quarter for the small bandage scissors. (larger is Germany, the smaller, Italy... Second Italian tool in two days...)
The larger Tea pot was from my last stop and is actually exactly what I wanted for camping! 4 -1/2 cups, copper, tin lined! two bucks for it and the Spring loaded soda bottle capper. (The ladies of the house like root beer and Cream soda in glass bottles lately...)

Thanks, Stuart. The monogram looks like otvincludes an L too. A L Parker. History on Parker Hannafin is sparse unfortunately.
The adjustable alligator is a C.S. Bonney patent, from after he sold the company and moved away from Philly. He licensed the design to Kraeuter and another mfgr I can't recall. Kraeuter called theirs "The Victor." I have one. I'm out, on my phone, but I will post it later. Or you could search the Bonney thread. I've posted it there before. I'm curious about the other one.
EDIT: I take that back. That is probably an Elgin. The Bonney's adjusting nut was central to the housing.

Went to a sale today advertised as the garage contents of a mechanic who passed 20 years ago but the family is only now selling.
Buckets, boxes, and two Craftsman roll caps filled with tools with no organization at all. Heat index was 105 so I picked through looking for fill-ins that I needed and also a few random things that looked cool.
Like the stainless steel Model 240 Amerex water-based extinguisher (they still sell it at Grainger) last certified in 1978 (and needs a new pressure gauge), and two old DOE wrenches labeled Yamaha and one labeled Triumph. Anyone know about the wrenches? were they for motorcycle carry repair kits?
The sockets are almost all Craftsman V or VV with a few S-K, Proto, Indesto. Really nice 100 foot tape, don't recognize the brand.
All for $35 including fire extinguisher.

These two DOE I don't recognize the brand mark, they both seem kind of odd, one is 17/14mm and the other is 12/8mm
Is that normal or some specialty?

Ah thanks! Honda Motors would explain the HM on both wrenches. I was searching alloy-artifacts.org for manufactures with HM in the name.
Could they be motorcycle wrenches?

A very nice couple of sales for BMWRD0!
There was an estate sale about an hour away that looked really good, so I checked sales around there to make it a worthwhile trip. I will go in reverse order, so, starting with a garage sale I stopped at last:
The sale was for an old HVAC tech, which was a field I did, but it was mostly newer stuff, and they knew what to price things. But I found that tin in the free pile. Never heard of them, but it will get filled with Proto LA.
Before that I hit a couple of Restores:
The first one yielded a Plomp pebble driver and a vintage Triumph ratchet. 4 bucks.
The second one turned up a P&C wrench and hex driver, Bonney ratchet and a box of lumber crayons. $3.50
The estate sale was an oldish small farm out in the country that had been sold recently and today was the last day before the scrappers came. They said to just start making a pile and the price would be good. So: (to be continued!)

Here are closeups, and yes, the Alligator is an Elgin, Patented in 1897!:
The other is a BOOS...

Nice wrench .. looks like you had a good day!
AA has some info http://alloy-artifacts.org/other-makers.html#boos
Here is the 1941 patent information on that BOOS wrench http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?pn=D130015&id=34712
I cannot make out the date codes on those DBEs from the group photo. Usually for that pattern, the specific alloy would be forged-in on the opposite side. That pattern was produced in Chrome Vanadium, Zenel, and Bonaloy, with significant overlap (even contemporaneously) over a period of maybe two decades, after which some tools continued to be produced from the dies, but with no specific alloy shown. Also, during WWII, alloy restrictions required some alterations, so they may not mention a proprietary alloy for that reason.
The streamlined DOEs came out after the “unique” alloy craze had largely faded into the past, so they won’t have their specific alloy on them.
I have two of those Elgins. One was my grandfather’s, broken, like many of his things. I bought the second one because I could’t figure the geometry of the internal spring (what was broken) in the first one. I have had them both apart in a box for a couple years; I can’t remember what stopped me. Could be small design changes - I think they may have been produced by different manufacturers over a period of time.

So, I made a pile at the estate sale, and this is what I got
The rusty (Plomb WF breaker, MT2 chuck, TAC ratcheting flare nut wrench, MTC socket, Plomb wrench, PEXTO chisel, and an unmarked ell.)
The cased (old drill bit/screwout set, Blue Bird battery set-complete, partial Craftsman set.)
The wrenches (Plomb, Craftsman, SK, Bonney, Proto, Fairmont)
And the drive tools (Plomb speeder, Craftsman T-handle, JC Penney extension, Thorsen flex-head ratchet, MAC Proto P&C, and Williams sockets, and a Craftsman spinner)
They only had a few things priced, but of them, I picked up the next two items:
A Dazor (not working yet) and
A Heritage Craftsman blowtorch. All of that came to $22.

OUTLAW - the odd hammer is a "creasing" or "border" hammer. I have one I use for silvesmithing (clean it up and surprise the daughter who does jewelry making. Just de-rust; smooth any imperfections in the faces, lightly soften the face edges and mirror polish).

OK on further review they are both CR Vanadium:

Outlaw, that lock looks like an Illinois Duo. Two sets of cuts on the key correspond to the wafers in the cylinder. There are 6 or 8 different blanks with different side cuts.

We use on them at work to pull pallets out of a semi truck if you don't have a loading dock where you can drive into the truck with a forklift.
Marketplace find. New in box Mitutoyo micrometer. 30.-
Thrift store find. No idea what it's used for but I like the looks of it. Forged and well made. Jaws grip tighter when you pull the chain.

CV had the longest run, about three decades, so dating the year can be ambiguous.OK on further review they are both CR Vanadium:
Here is one date code - one seems missing? or they changed systems?
Both date codes seem intact:
FU (June, 1929 or 1943) I think 1929, because of the color of the plating and the abrupt transition from shank to box end. A 2844 is for a Chevrolet-6 manifold.
LV (December, 1930 or 1944) I think 1944, because of color and the gradual transition from shank to box end.
