Wow that Convair sticker is so cool..

Welcome..

It weighs 1 lb 4 oz / a 20 oz hammer. The logo to me looks European so I thought maybe the 600 was grams. Just don't know..

Just found this old cross peen hammer in a box of other tools I picked up this past weekend. From what I can see it is marked 600 (grams?) along with what looks like a zero or S (combined) with a small v on top of the Zero/S mark. I can't even begin to figure out the logo above the 600 mark...

My guess was Russian as well..

Very Cool Find..

Just some of a few vintage cans I have in the shop. The Christy's cone top cans I've had for awhile but they still display well.

No they just have the plain handles.. Would really like to find a pair of the raised letter handle type myself.

Just picked these old SuperForm pliers last week. Nice parrot head design. Jaws are offset to allow a grip it tight spots.. Patent # 1866771

Need help in figuring why these Stanley cutting pliers (Stanley 75-455 ) aren't really to be seen anywhere on the internet? Picked them up last weekend as I've not seen one like them before with the Stanley brand. They are in really good shape and are very sharp. Not even an image online...

Gave a donation Thanks.

That matches what I have. Still haven't seen a 2 1/2" jaw model before. Thanks for the reference material.

Tough to say with so much old paint / dirt. There are gaps where the jaw could swivel. I'm going to have to get it much cleaner to see if the pin or jaw frees up.. There may be a pin pushed into the jaw base but that is still not cleaned off enough to say..

What a great little vise.. Looks to be in great condition..

Oldest vise for me so far. Found this old war horse of a vise that's been around. Weekend estate sale find. $10. It's a Columbian Hardware Co of Cleveland Oh. Model 402 1/2. Narrowest jaws I've seen on a vise this big. (2 1/2") It has a swivel pin but looking at the jaw it looks only to slide...
