My dad’s body tools. Some were more favored than others. What brand is the P S & W hammer ?? That was one of his favorites. Also some cool old Blue point , Plumb , fairmount?

so is there only 1 key? Or is the spacing different ??

Hi all. I have these two old metal Boxes , they are a great size but no key and no way to keep them closed. Anybody ever have luck finding keys for them ? I suppose I could switch them to a latch, or ?

Thanks for the info , i'm going to clean it up. It never had a pad / cover. I saw a pic or an old ad one time of a creeper like this. No idea where i saw it

further investigation shows the Dippsy doodle caster name starting in 1948 https://www.google.com/books/edition/Official_Gazette_of_the_United_States_Pa/mO6TskHC4ZEC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22DIPpSY+DOODLE%22+%22casters%22&pg=PA910&printsec=frontcover

My Dad had this old creeper since the 70’s, which was given to him by another old timer. We guessed this was from the 30’s?? All square nuts. The wheels say DIPPSY DOO or DIPPSY DOOD? anybody got any insight? It might not be the most comfortable thing but I remember sticking automatic...

picked this up at a local online auction. I believe this is a Frank Mossberg No. 14 set. Missing a few pieces, the ratchet is not correct, the wooden box needs a little work, but its cool as hell. Any others out there have one? I know there was different variations over the years, this...

My misc estate / garage sale finds yesterday. A few cool things. A set of AUTO KITT wrenches , some old craftsman channel locks (any idea of age?) starrett no.245 feeler and wire gauge

Thats cool, thanks for the quick response, you guys are awesome

My coworker sent me these pics. An interesting piece. What looks like a hammer head on one end and a hook on the other. But there’s no hole for a handle. We’re pretty stumped. It does look like it might be worn on the inside of the hook. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Do you have the Ratchet head too ??

Picked up this Weaver garage equipment book a couple weeks ago. 1928. It’s a very small little catalog, but it has 72 pages and quite a bit of info. I hope maybe I could scan it or take pictures and share. I don’t know if it’s already online somewhere. Pretty cool. If you want me...

picked up some old ACE dies at a garage sale today. Are they decent quality?? I would guess they are better than any china / harbor freight stuff today

Got a gift from my fathers old neighbor. Looks like a Hein Werner. Tag is completely unreadable. Any idea on the model or age?? Ton rating? I’ll be happy to keep it service the next 30 years

pretty neat to see the differences. I wonder if that makes some 'early' and some 'later'. This one had no company markings , only the patent date.

picked this today, its has a broken jaw but when i saw the Nov 2, 1880 patent date i figured i should grab it. Not much different from the adjustable wrenches of the time, except for the "speed handle" . From my patent searching it looks like it was patented by the Portland Wrench in 1880...

I was reading the thread , I just picked up a Perfect Handle screwdriver from HD smith with the “barber pole “ rolling stamp. Any info on when this was done ? Later in production or early on ? Some really nice HD tools on here. Being in CT, I do often see the old pipe wrenches at garage sales.
