A Stevens Speed Up socket set I picked up recently. I am thinking 1924-27 as it’s not in the 1923 Steven’s catalog. Very similar to the Walden No.68 Spintight set in the 1928 SWW catalog, though this set is a hex drive.

I think I know the screwdriver you are talking about. Ebay for around 50ish? If so I saw it, but it was above my skills to repair. Good idea for a FB group. I'll join for sure! I also do the online auction route and have picked up some good stuff. I'm lazy and don't want to drive around to...

I’ve hit the Elephants Trunk a few times and found a few items. I mustn’t be going to the right places. There’s several antique shops around me. I’m in the Canton area…but I never seem to find anything really good. I had a couple of good hits on marketplace, but that’s it. Maybe I’m too picky. Lol

I wish I was in the same boat. It’s the exact opposite where I’m at…if it weren’t for online auctions or a few friends hooking me up, I don’t think I’d have any tools at all lol. It’s shocking since I’m only 12 miles away from where the New Britain factory was. There just doesn’t seem to be...

Found this awhile back and forgot I had it. I’ll frame it and incorporate it somehow into my mini Mephisto collection.

Apparently this one was available at auction a few years ago. Shorter version and in nice condition.

Emphasis on “the”!

Picked up a nice Mephisto screwdriver today. Looks to be about 13.5 inches long and in nice shape.

Picked up this very nice set today. Guy who sold it to me said it was his grandfather’s…it came with the salesman’s card.

Thanks! I will look into getting the catalog online. I’m about collecting and sharing info not making the big bucks 😝

I try to pick up Mephisto tools when I can. Found this minty 1942 catalog recently.

Also solved the mystery of how the door stays shut 😊

Awesome. Thank you!

I know this is an old post, but I’m gonna give it a try. I recently found one of these cabinets only. It is missing the handles. I’d like to see if I can find something close. Would it be possible for you to take a picture of the handles and post it would be greatly appreciated.
