So I finally get out to an estate sale.. only hit a couple so far this year... bought a couple users but left this amazing frankenclamp!

Got out to an estate sale today and struck out on tools. But I met a nice fellow, planning to retire South soon and surrounding himself and his wife with some great vintage stuff. A few minutes before I got there, 'Billy the Kidd' snagged this Delta grinder with stand, guards, and quench cups...

Interesting. I am fairly certain now that Don's Baxter example was made in Derby Connecticut. Your example of a 'Derby Poland' marking (although definitely not the same company) is interesting, and makes me even more curious about Farmer J's socket end wrenches. As long as nobody objects...

looked around a little and I think Don's wrench was made by Hawkins Hardware MFG of Derby CT. Now, to check on your sockets... Hawkins Hardware Mfg. Co. of Derby, Conn. was one of several manufactures of the Baxter patented wrenches. similar...

I will check the cabinets tonight - I think I still have a couple.

Lugz, the Baxters as shown by Ragtop show up pretty frequently at low prices. Unfortunately, that design was very prone to rusting shut. I often seem them at $5 and below but completely rusted shut. And several have resisted all of my attempts to unstick them. The design in the patent you...

Hey Lugz! It sounds like you were in my neck of the woods today! I took off to help my daughter move so today was truck loading day. Tomorrow it's off to the courthouse to see my son and his wife finalize adoption on his little boy and then we take off with the truck early Saturday morning...

I think BRIDGE TOOL CO - I can't find a clear example on the net but here are a couple to give you an idea...

OK .. so about the Starrett plumb bob in my Billings box picture... I mentioned the other day that my dad had some tools from my great grandfather that I think were from the Ford River Rouge plant. I talked to some folks at the Henry Ford museum and that's what they think. There never was a...

a quick rundown of stuff I got this weekend. I have a VERY busy weekend coming up. I hope I can catch a sale down in Chesapeake VA. Found a 1 3/4" hydraulic ram with brass gauge pulled from something. It doesn't work at the moment. A couple articulating desk lamps. I ALWAYS buy these if I...

I will let you know what they find out! Thanks - That is probably the closest that I have seen. I will pass that along.

I saw this on a vintage items identification thread and nobody has been able to identify it yet. Apparently it says Lincoln on one site and Detroit on the other. I thought this group might have some ideas... FYI - I finally got out this year and bought a handful of stuff. I am in the midst...

More than we can imagine... I have heard stories of wooden machinists boxes being dumped some they could sell the box. I have seen buildings sold with the contents and emptied once they were bought. As a kid, we had an old (wooden) toolbox where many of the tools were etched with the Ford...

Well worth it. Nice hoses

WOW! You **** sir! Beautiful sign!

tack and staple remover - in the category of leather working tools. https://www.csosborneleathertools.com/product_detail.php?p_id=444 Having fun watching you go through that amazing haul!

I have seen a Starrett item that was attributed to the early Ford Rouge River plant and it was hand etched with the stylized Ford logo and 'RR' (confirmed not be be 'rail road') However, I could definitely see that with an item like a screwdriver they would do a bulk order with their logo.

I think your bottle opener is really half of a window sash lock.

that pattern on the handles is patented and someone recently attributed it... I will try to look. I remember it being called xxxxx and dot pattern but can't seem to find it now.
