A.L.A.M. Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers The A.L.A.M. was organized in 1903 in an attempt to coordinate all automobile manufacturing under one standardized umbrella, and significantly, to have some level of control under the terms of the Selden patent No.549,160 of 1895. A...

I see old hammers pop up in all kinds of threads. How about one place for all old hammers and related objects? I'll start things off with an early J. YERKES. small straight pein hammer. "J. YERKES PHILA _ SOLID CAST STEEL" May be the original handle. I forgot to add that picture. May be for...

Does anyone know anything about hand carry tool boxes, likely for carpenters, that included some kind of punch-out to accommodate a 16x24 framing square? Thanks

My brother-in-law is trying to re-construct a Craftsman tool set, with box, that his father was given when he was in some kind of carpenter’s or builder’s school about 1946 under the G.I. bill. He thinks that the set included two hand saws, four chisels, a brace and auger bit set, and possibly...

This set of six DBE wrenches are nicely forged and finished. They are oval shaped shanks with sizes ranging from 3/8 to 1”. I don’t know who actually manufactured them, but the style of the raised lettering does seem to resemble a particular era that Bonney made. Interestingly enough, Bonney...

I don't know anything about this 3/8" dr. ratchet. About 6 1/2 OAL with an interestingly shaped forged handle profile. The ratched seems to function, and the reversing lever is operational. I didn't see any maker, but there is what looks like "No.2887" on head. Any help?

Been here a little while. I would like to add an avatar picture to my profile. I don't see it when I 'edit my profile'. Anyone give me a hint?

Alloy Artifacts presents the 1919 claims of Herbrand for the first use of alloy steels, in tappet wrenches, although AA found no documentation to support that. Herbrand began using their script logo in 1921 and the earliest example of an alloy steel tappet wrench on the AA site is marked...

Visiting Denver from Kentucky and visited a small but well-stocked used tool store. Practically in the shadow of Coor's Field. The owner was friendly and knowledgeable and the store is pretty well stocked. Vintage tools in the basement. Brought home some Dodge Bros., Walden, Williams, Ford...

I have these three forged 'S' DOE wrenches. I can't identify the maker by the oval and stylized M (or W) logo. Anyone recognize these? Lugz referenced this here: post 484 https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=274782&page=25

Anyone know who made, or sold, this hand Valve Grinder/Lapper? The body is a casting and the knob is wood. The reversible drive piece is held with a cotter pin. Look familiar to anyone? (Sorry for the poor picture. I still don't have the hang of it yet!)

I came across this Williams little board. Worked out great as I already had the wrenches. All are NOS except the largest 12". All have the panel logo of the 1970's. (I had to mount the wrenches kattywampus so the board would hang straight from the original single center eyescrew. Need to make a...

I found this in Kentucky just across the river from Cincinnati. What do I have here? Kind of looks like an old Snap-On K-9 or K10, from the pictures on the web. Decal seems to say Old Forge. Then there is a partial Patent No 167548###. Is this the Old Forge that AA refers to as Quality Tool...

I have a couple of older items that I would like to clean but preserve the original paint and decals. I do not want to strip and repaint. (kind of ruins things) Any suggestions for degreasing and cleaning a crusty toolbox of old grease and oil while retaining the original paint and decals? I...

Any good flea markets or junk stores selling old wrenches and other tools in the greater Cincinnati to Dayton area? I might get up there in a couple of weeks.

When I access this page, I used to see 'active' only those threads with new posts since I visited last. The others were 'grayed out'. Now, everything is still bold, and only the threads I have hit are grayed out, no matter how old. Anyone else experiencing this, or is it me again? Thanks

Noticed these prices a few days ago and assumed there was some kind of conversion error. But no, the crazy prices are still there. The seller has a number of lots with similar pricing. Especially for Williams items. Whatever. eBay lot # 222433534453...
