Hey guys! Hope all of you are well and safe! I have mostly been lurking here since joining. Great stuff everyday. My question. I picked up a vv Craftsman wrench for a song. VERY light initials etching. I searched here, and a lot of comments say don't try to remove them. And I am of the...

That you Private Lugnutz. My question is 100% answered.✔

I am a newbie to vintage tools. Have some of my grandfather's and have picked up some older wrenches which I plan to use. One of my goals for 2020 is to organize my tools and my workbench and surrounding area. I have searched GJ and gotten some ideas for cleaning up older tools. The...

Very interesting! Thank you!

:thumbup: That's VERY nice !

Great thread!

I'd be happy to talk coins with you sometime. And on eBay you can definitely check the sold listings. If you are on a PC you click on advanced search. Then you check the box next to sold. If you are on a mobile device you need to click filter. Then you can choose sold.

Thank you to everyone for giving me SO MUCH great information. I have plenty of great reading ahead!

I am new here, and I hope this post is not frowned upon. If so, please let me know or remove. I am relatively new to the world of vintage tools. Most of my collecting experience is with coins/numismatics. I am not in a position to spend a lot, and am the type to try to do a lot of learning...

I am new here, and relatively new to vintage tools. This is my only Herbrand. I actually picked it up just a few days ago.

I joined earlier today and posted a welcome thread in the vintage tools section. I didn't realize this was here. This forum has been a great help to me whenever I had to Google something tool related, etc. And I have a relatively newfound interest in vintage tools. So I have found myself here...
