bmw, that Yankee tool set box is outstanding! the North Brothers tools come along fairly often, but the boxes never seem to be with them. Thee outside label/logo is a work of art, and that inside label is in awesome shape.

well - I tracked the unusual bicycle wrench with the odd tang, or "rectangular extension" to design patent 29520 issued Oct 18, 1898 to Charles H. Metz. It is a design patent for the bicycle wrench frame but does not explicitly call out the purpose of the "rectangular extension"...

1/4 inch square. I agree that it looks like the piece you see for drain plugs on other wrenches. I have looked it over carefully several times and still can find no markings, or indications that there ever were any.

forgot to add... this weekend got me these two items. An odd little unmarked "bicycle wrench" with an odd nub, and a short Harrold "non-twist" screwdriver. I suspect there was more, but these were my fun finds, and I would really like to know more on the wrench, especially the purpose of the...

Speed racer, CL / FB / estatesales.net / gsalr.com - but my real comment is - Are you in Kentucky? Go to the world's longest yardsale / 127 sale the first Thursday in August through Sunday. 690 miles of yard sales / fleas / vendors - I have seen some amazing vintage tools along that route...

Well, nothing compared to some of the finds you guys have been finding.. but $1 got me a pair of stamped steel Indestro pliers with a great logo! I am getting to the point that I almost don't dig through the bins of cheap pliers anymore, but today it paid off. there is a matching logo on the...

The wife and I took a 2 day trip out of town this weekend and hit a few flea markets. I got and old wooden multi-tool, a Millers Falls No. 59 ratcheting screwdriver, a RAST Fits-All wrench, unmarked calipers, an AH Reid push drill and bit, a couple prints from an old book and a cool Kiwanis...

not real old... saw one on ebay that said they bought it at Sears 25 yrs ago. But VERY cool thermometer! They were apparently made during the time of barcodes...

I waited till the last day of an estate sale because I did not want to spend much. But I did pick up a cool quick adjust EMPIRE pipe wrench, a little Dille & McGuire model 1893 lawn mower wrench, and a bunch of old extension cords that I use to replace the cords on vintage Dazor / Desk lamps...

That green parts cabinet has a great look! regarding the red toolbox: something you can try (CAREFULLY )I have successfully used oven cleaner to remove the top coat of paint. I used the dollar store spray on oven cleaner and try leaving it on for a few minutes then wiping with a paper towel...

Mr. Wonderful - wow YOU ****! what a great haul! Not a clunker in the group

I have attached a PDF with the 6/20/11 patent into.. (and the full text/explanation) I am still confused as to the operation. Nice piece. It does seem that J. L. Young had a number of patents for different pliers, many were dental Update: while browsing down the patent search rabbit hole...

Lugz can post all he wants! He always brings great info, context, or humor to the conversation!

Lugz is trying to run up his post count!

the patent was awarded to Edward Huber - the Dec 27 1888 patent is US375675A an improvement to the May 3 1887 US375675 patent. (I may file that under... "I think". Those dates look more like application dates) Apparently manufactured by the Huber Manafacturing Co. of Marion OH. who were...

Wow... I had some catching up to do. Lots of great stuff here. I hope to get out this weekend but have been using a 'little' more discipline lately. Are any of you Proto guys interested in this box? Not exactly local for me. Stafford VA EDIT: FYI - my first attempt at inline pictures after...

Thanks for all the great past experiences, and this new effort to make things even better!

GM Co. I just picked up this GM Co. Driv-O-Socket set. Technically it is a hex set, but I am posting it because it is made by the same company that makes the little 10 piece 1/4 ratchet set that shows up from time to time. I thought it was interesting because it is the first time I have...

Glad to see everything back online! I was going into serious withdrawls... A couple goodies from last weekend. I picked up a little 'Driv-O-Socket set because it was made by GM Co. I see the older, 10 pc 1/4" set (for reference) fairly often, but this more modern looking set was new to me...
