    Craftsman 1/2 HP Motor 115.5829, J30 date code

    I am a fledgling poster, so be advised. What started out as a cord replacement, blossomed into a motor restoration, mostly because I wanted to. The motor was running fine on a 103.23130 Craftsman 100 DP, although I had only used it a couple of times. No hot smell, just a little bearing noise...

    Ultimate Stanley Level Thread

    crguy....I figured that might be the case, but it never hurts to ask. I may experiment with the one I got out. I got the level for almost nothing, and I like the looks of it, even if it just hangs in my shop. We'll see.

    Ultimate Stanley Level Thread

    RTM....Thanks for the line to the Archive. I was able to determine that my level is older than 1909 as that seems to be the first catalog that shows the level frame embossed STANLEY and the model number. So that is one question answered.

    Ultimate Stanley Level Thread

    Looking for some help here guys. I picked up what I thought was a Stanley 37 level (24 inch). The long center glass is in good shape but the two smaller glasses are broken. All of the glasses have the rotating shields. I have a couple of questions for those of you with more knowledge of these...

    Anyone familar with this makers mark?

    I'm thinking they are Bergman O' Buffalo, just abbreviated, which does make some sense. I think I will go back tomorrow and buy the snips if they are still there. Kinda fun to have something different and a little mysterious. Thanks for the help. I'll post more pics after I get it home.

    Anyone familar with this makers mark?

    I have seen two other snips on Ebay with the same marking, so not thinking it is an owner, but who knows. Just figured I would ask you guys and maybe get lucky. The other handle markings are pretty benign.

    Anyone familar with this makers mark?

    I saw a pair of tin snips at a local Restore yesterday. The picture is of the makers mark. I have looked around the internet to identify the maker, but seem to have struck out. Anybody familiar with this one? Thanks. Kirk

    Williams Adjustable Pliers Model PL-1521A

    Anybody have a resource that would tell me approximately when the PL-1521A was introduced? I see the PL-1521 in catalog 401 (mid 50's), but not sure if that catalog would make the distinction of a variant like the "A".
