Something else from the tool chest I cleaned out.... It's a 1" x 10" brass bar. It's beveled on one end and slightly mushroomed out on the other... so it's been beat on. Is this just a brass bar fashioned into a one time use tool or is it something manufactured for specific purposes. Thanks...

Hello, Been in the Covid bunker today sorting through boxes of things I unloaded from a Kennedy Rolling Chest I purchased. Had a lot of machinist tools and misc. Something I'd not seed before I could use an ID on. I can't quite figure out the purpose of this spring attachment on some drill...

Hello, So I got these pliers in an old tool chest recently. After cleaning them up I thought they were kind of interesting looking. They seem well made but look pretty primitive to me. No makers marks. BuddyC IMG_4565 by Buddy Clark, on Flickr IMG_4566 by Buddy Clark, on Flickr IMG_4567 by...

Ok... using some of the information offered here, I found that these files can be used in the aircraft industry. That would explain why they were found in this particular tool chest. A possibility. Any leads on manufacturer or age based on the mark "England"? Thanks all!

Interesting.. don't seem to match the rest of the collection but that's something.

Good Sunday morning, I found these files/rasps in a Kennedy rolling chest I purchased yesterday. What type of file/rasp would these be? They are just marked England but I've not hit on the right key words yet to find that type of pattern on the Google, etc. Thanks! BuddyC IMG_20200308_110637...

Since I didn't have a good Plomb sticker, I left this OLD oil change sticker on the inside of the lid when I cleaned it up. From an old Detroit area Pontiac dealership IMG_20200301_192720 by Buddy Clark, on Flickr

Thanks for that info. When I saw an example of the sticker I was so envious. That would be the cherry on top

Greetings, Went to an auction Saturday... 95% tools. Great place for a woman looking for a handy man, not so much for a guy looking for a deal on tools. However.... While everyone was out in the daylight I found this Plomb 9990 Master Chest in a dark corner of the garage. I was really...

I'll go along with that. That was my first thought after thinking about some auto transformers I've sold in the past

Being "garage Journal" my first thought was, what are these guys stirring up in their garages. Thanks for straightening me out.:thumbup: No telling what you might learn in such a great group as this. Thanks again!! BuddyC

Nada.... So I found a photo of an Eberback mixer that has the same speed control assembly but different motor. I think you gave me something to work with.... Thanks!

That sounds cool... I check it out...Thanks

Hey There, I picked up a couple of flats of misc. from an electrical engineer's estate. I'm curious if anyone here might know what this tool is/was used for? Not a mark, word, number on it anywhere. The knob on top adjusts the speed from 0 to ? RPM. It seems to work well, just not sure what...

This is the best group on the internets.... Thanks Private!

Well that made for some interesting Googles. Seems to be a very likely call. What I've found is lots of home made bulls foot files and clock maker bulls foot files. It's too bad this one doesn't have a maker's mark on it. I think it's a pretty interesting tool. Pvt Lugnutz: I imagine Stub...

So, my favorite things to find, when rooting through people's stuff, is things I've not seen before. So, can someone please tell me the proper name for this nifty little tool? Thanks! BuddyC IMG_20190511_155035 by William Clark, on Flickr IMG_20190511_155050 by William Clark, on Flickr

I've picked some up at estate sales and sold them. There are collectors. Probably won't retire off the sale but they get a new life

Maybe a bit quick.... Over the weekend I searched for just the patent date and came up with the Tesla patent on that date. After posting this I tried Googling "Motor made by the owners of patent, Dec. 26, 1893" and came up with a patent for a similar electric motor idea by Henry Parker White...
