Recently acquired two 5 inch Quick Wedge.

Also picked this up last weekend. Don't see any markings on it. But the handle is very heavy. Unfortunately someone destroyed the blade on it. They cut it up to make it a key hole blade. Not sure how old the handle is or why its heavy steel. Some say it could've been a ice saw. Either way I...

These key hole jab saws are becoming a little addictive. They are cheap and they clean up and polish well. Picked these 3 up over the weekend for restoration. Millers Falls 525 Allway Handy Saw No.100 Aluminium handle. Unbranded but looks like another Allway. The handle on this one...

Picked up this close quarters Craftsman hacksaw. Did a quick little clean up on it this past week. Nothing too over the top on this one.

Cleaned up the Goodell Pratt ratchet drill that I posted above. Left the handle as is. I didn't want to lose the original black enamel on it.

That’s pretty incredible to have. I would assume those got toss in the trash not knowing what they were for. Especially with out the ratchet drill with it.

Couple Arch Hollow punches cleaned up. Before After

Thanks. That would be pretty cool to find one of these.

I bought it because it was odd and didnt know exactly what it was. And that is was Goodell Pratt so I knew it was really old. This is what some explained to me about the point. It’s designed to assist when boring holes in metal, the tip would be placed in a drill press quill/lathe...

Goodell Pratt ratchet drill.

Ended up with 3 more tonight. Plews oiler Not sure the age of this one. But pretty clean Eagle No.28. This one has no markings but I assume it’s a newer Golden Rod that the sticker fell off of.

Picked up a P. Wall oiler.

That’s what I thought it was originally. But the Record ones I see the main body where the gears are is square and blocky. Stanley also made a few blue ones. But thei main body is just a single metal shaft. This is the one thing I like with vintage tools. Tracking down the history is fun.

Well I went back to the antique malll and picked this one up. Been there for a few months. I originally passed on it because it looks like someone machined the outer lip of the big gear. Just didn’t look factory. But I had so much fun restoring the other 3 I did. So I grabbed it since the...

Picked up these two Eagle oilers today. Was going to pass on them as they looked to new. But on some research it seems Eagle stopped making these in the mid 1970’s. So old enough for me. Even though different AI apps are saying 1950’s to 60’s. They look too new. Even if they are from the 70’s...
