Thank you for that. My Uncle did cherish his things. Folks are glad to have them. Makes me feel a lot better about passing them on.

OK, makes sense. He built a long custom wood lather. He did automotive, machine, and wood work. Loved his shop.

Going through my late Uncle's shop. He has a lot of vintage USA made tools. Does anyone know what type of tools this set is? They are Craftsman with no part numbers.

Re-reading my thread. This is hilarious! Thanks for the reply. Put a smile on my face. :)

Thank you folks for taking the time to post replies. Helps a lot.

I'm going through a shop looking to find homes for a gentleman's shop tools who passed. A lot of stuff I've not seen before. Thought I'd post some pictures here to see if someone out there is familiar with what I have. I believe his stuff is old. He restored Ford Model A's. Here is a photo

I just read a thread on another forum on a lathe value question and man were those guys rough on the poster! Thank you everyone for not beating up on me and taking the time to give advice. I value it very much. I saw used crimper dies on ebay but how would I know if what I found are usable?

I like this line of thinking. Thanks much for the advice.

The tool boxes look old to me but there are a lot of them. I'll see if I can get a list going. I'm not sure if the John Deere runs. May be a deal to be had on that.

Yes I believe there is some ok items. The table equipment I posted may not be a good representation of some of the finds this place has. The lift does look newer to me. I'll check for a name plate.

This dosen't sound like a bad idea either. A lot of misc hardware and small items. Initially she didn't want a lot of people on the property so I'm facing taking individuals to the place running ad's. She is coming around with the idea of a garage sale however.

She doesn't need the cash and is in no hurry for the shop to be liquidated. I'm fortunate in that I do have a lot of time to invest in a clean out project. Not necessarily fun but she can use the help.

That sounds good. I'll check with a few. One problem is I wouldn't want to haul stuff to them if it is a fruitless effort. Thanks for the advice. If not leaving a lot of cash on the table is the case, this would be a great avenue to take I think.

Yes sir. A lot of stuff
