I saw this at an upcoming auction and was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on the brand? It's obviously a juggernaut compared to my 1/2HP Craftsman block grinder and looks to be in a home which would make me believe it's not a 3ph unit. I live local to the home the auction will be held...

I scored a CP No. 206 last month off of ebay. It was missing the swivel wrench. What size wrench should I be looking for:dunno:? I know they numbered them. My CP no. 975 has a number 2, and they are about the same size and weight.

A buddy of mine scored me a nice Chales Parker vise at an estate sale last week. It's a No. 2300. Anyone have any info on it? Definitely looks old, but it's in really decent shape for its age. It has a center style mount with the large wing nut and washer. I will take some pics tonight or...

I'd be all over this if I had the room http://cnj.craigslist.org/tls/4274041994.html. Someone on here grab it please!!!

Epic failure are the best words to decribe the outcome of hitting this gem. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4272144390.html

Here's a nice 147#'er Trenton anvil in the Lancaster, PA CL. Probably was procured from the Amish since it's their "hood". http://lancaster.craigslist.org/tls/4229377436.html

Saw this on CL and was wondering if anyone knew what brand vise is on the bench:dunno:?? It looks like a Record or at least a European style, but I'm no expert. Could be Chico **** as well. I stumbled upon it on CL since my father-in-law is looking for a workbench for the garage. It is...

I picked these up today for $60. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4242093363.html I called him Friday night to pick his brain as to the size and makers since the ad was picless and pretty vague. He said they are "big suckers", but didn't know who they were made by. Once I got him to...

This is the first year I have done the SS, and I'm all sorts of grade school giddy about it. Anyway, I have gone through ALOT of the "items" I've accumulated within the last couple of years that I feel SS worthy. (Back story) I'm an auction/yard sale/flee market nut who loves the old, unique...

I scored these off of CL today. I saw that the seller had a ton of ads on CL listing some really cool old items. Come to find out that he bought the contents of an antique shop over the summer and was blowing the stuff out. I'm sure the box with glass was from a doctor's/dentist's office...

I started collecting leverlock knives about a year ago. All of the ones I have work and though may have needed a little polishing or dab of high grade knife oil were perfectly working knives until I acquired this one. I have no idea who the manufacturer is(no tang markings other than ROWE)...

Anyone know what type of vise this is on the workbench? Sorry for the crappy pics, but this is all I could get from the site. I'm heading to this auction tomorrow morning and hoping to grab it. http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/photopanel.cgi?listingid=1930063&category=0&zip=19734&kwd= My...

Look at these beauts all lined up together. It takes my breath away. If I needed another DP I'd be all over it. http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/tls/4191313934.html

This guy has had a bunch of machine shop tools for sale on CL. They have been listed for quite some time now and I was going the send him an email to see what he is willing to sell items separately. He has been looking to sell the contents minus the welding equipment for $14k. I was...

A guy I work with is an antique guru and scored this at an estate sale for me. Only paid him $20 for it:D. I was wondering a few things about it. Does the color appear to be original? Can anyone see what the year of manufacture was (I'm guessing June 69??)? What's the deal with the pin on...

My father-in-law picked this up at a flee market today. Anyone ever see one like this before? Looks like a hammer head minus the hole for the handle. It should work well when you can't get the handle in a tight area, but still need to hammer a dent outwards.

Here's a bullet I just finished a couple of weeks ago. It's for sale on the site though I really don't want to part with it. I bought it at the end of the spring from CL. It was left outside for some time, but it worked fine and operated 100%. It looked like it had barely been used once I...

For starters I scored this guy in the late spring of this year through CL. It was apparently left outside for a while, but other than the surface rust it operated 100% and had minimal use (or should I say abuse?). The first pic is when I first acquired it. You can see the transition to what...
