Sometimes it’s surprising what people have lying around at sales.

Sometimes it’s surprising what people have lying around at sales.

Indeed!

If only for a sense of completion, thanks to Don, one WWII motor vehicle mechanics' ignition wrench in a 9/32" (15* angle) x 5/16" (60* angle) configuration that was lying around in a garage or a basement somewhere before he acquired it has now been paired up with its 9/32" (60* angle) x 5/16" (15* angle) configuration brother inside the partial 41-W-900 ignition set, in original leatherette pouch, that was lying around in a garage or basement in NJ and taken to one of my flea markets a few years ago!

I even like the big old serif "3" stamps on it. 3rd platoon. Mechanic #3. Doesn't matter. I like it!

 

[d42jeep]

Your set looks great completed. I’m glad I had a spare for you.
-Don

 

[four.cycle]

oH! you completed it?!?!
I ran a mess of various searches and found NONE of those on ebay.
fabulous!

My Proto mfd era *metric* doe roll. The wrenches are a mixture of Proto la and Proto mfd but all are in good shape and I believe are original to the roll. These are not particularly common.

 

[d42jeep]

I have a few Proto rolls but none are metric. The last four pictures are of a cleanup project.

A few more rolls and pouches I’ve been meaning to post.

^ that set of little Nicholsons is fabulous, Don.

I'm amazed you were able to complete that big Xcelite master set

 

[RTM]

I love the Starrett screwdrivers myself.

 

[d42jeep]

I'm amazed you were able to complete that big Xcelite master set

It came just as you see it at the Tahoe flea. The price was right, too

I picked up this ratty LECTROLITE wrench roll from the flea yesterday. The branding on the roll is barely visible and the wrenches have a decent amount of storage rust. They’re soaking in the evaporust now.

I've been trying to piece together a set of period correct Facom tools for my 2CV, unfortunately I haven't found everything I'd like to have in a tool kit and until I piece together a period correct kit, this is part of what I roll with in my 2CV's tool kit. Got the canvas and leather tool roll from Epsteins. Even though it's new, it kinda has a vintage feel and looks good in the 2CV

 

[genog]

Maybe not Vintage...

These belong to a friend.
I do know that he's had this Wright roll for quite a while

3/8 all of the way through 1-1/4
It doesn't look like he's used any of them

This Taiwanese metric tool roll was in the Craftsman toolset I picked up at a moving sale on Thursday. Initially I put it with the other tools in the discard pile but the roll itself was so intact that I reconsidered. I removed the Taiwanese markings and plan to populate it with some US made metric wrenches.

BMW Isetta tool kit with Hazet wrenches, Bilstein jack, and Motometer tire pressure gauge

I like the Isetta toolset!
I put some Craftsman metric wrenches in the white roll and added it to a car toolbox

"Cen-Tech" (aka "Century Tool") was an offshoot of Steelcraft. the Century Tool catalog is available at ITCL. I didn't find THAT wrench set in it, though.

 

[d42jeep]

I found this Holo-Krome pouch with a random selection of hex keys inside at an estate sale yesterday. I’ll add some HK marked ones.
-Don

 

[d42jeep]

Added some HK marked hex keys and took a picture with the other two Holo-Krome sets.

I cross posted the Millers Falls glass cutter with pouch on the Millers Falls thread but it belongs here as well. When I went to add it to my user toolbox I found a similar Red Devil cutter in the pouch.

[bbbarracuda]

Picked this up yesterday. Seems to be complete 4/16 thru 16/16
Bits are all rusty so I have a couple soaking in Evaporust to see if there are any maker's markings.

 

[d42jeep]

One of the items I picked up at yesterday’s estate sale was this almost new sharpening stone from Federal Mogul.

 

[genog]

Got this tool roll with mixed bag of wrenches, so I filled them with S-K's.
3/8 to 1-1/8
I am missing the 1-1/16 so an extra 1" fills the void

 

[genog]

Working on a pair of eye glasses and these were my go-to's

 

[matthew]

Was my grandfathers. Sadly don’t have the original Allen keys from it. Not sure what I should use it for.

 

[Username already in use]

At just $10, I couldn’t say no to those K-D metric combination wrenches.
Not terribly vintage, but they sure are nice.

 

[d42jeep]

I picked up this Craftsman crown pouch at a garage sale today. The wrenches were half Craftsman and half Penncraft.

This unused Nicholson file and pouch was in a carpenter’s box from a garage sale on Saturday.

Here's a nice set of Ace Hanson extractors and a Blackhawk set that belonged to a good friend of mine.
The Blackhawk set has two extractors that are broken

 

[genog]

More tool roll stuff...
Bondhus hex ball drivers and Xcelite nut drivers (not quite sure why I bought nut drivers.....)

 

[bmwrd0]

I love ball end drivers like those. I use Grace in my shop in the basement, but Bondhus in the garage out back.

 

[mvcorse]

Rolls are always attractive

Here is a set of Craftsman metric ratchet wrenches patented in 1973.

^ I see you got your time machine up and running again.
Always wondered who made that unit with the plastic around the outer perimeter. Parker! Who knew?

 

[Mintgrun]

My grandpa gave me this old chisel roll thirty years ago, as well as a military brace and bit roll (no photos of that, yet). I figure this must be an old one, since it says the tools are for wheelwrights.







I've used the D.R. BARTON chisel quite a bit. The others, not so much.

^ I am assuming from your post that the other chisels in that kit are not stamped "D.R. Barton", correct?
It looks like the earlier Barton edge tools are held in pretty high esteem by collectors.

Barton / D.R. Barton, Rochester, NY / est. 1832, acquired 1874 by William R. and Royal L. Mack, renamed to Mack & Co., but marketed "D.R.
