A couple weeks ago I hit up a building sale on facebook marketplace, what made me wanna go was that the ad said that anything and everything was 1 dollar. Apparently the building was an old antique shop, but the owner never sold anything and ended up passing away with a building full of stuff...

Thanks, she sure is really clean, jaw teeth look unused too, it is sheet metal though, where it looks kinda thick is just a 90 degree bend in the metal I think im gonna end up mounting her onto my workbench

picked up this 4" union parker swivel base vise today for 140 bucks, think I overpaid a bit, but she has a really smooth action and doesn't look to be used much, also came on a piece of sheet metal and a big chunk of wood for a base

Picked up these old ice tongs today for 2 bucks and was wondering if anyone had ever heard of the name on them? Since I couldnt find anything on google, I'm thinking they were sold at a general store and that was just their name on the tool, but was hoping to get a second opinion Thanks

Whenever I happen upon a tool marked "germany" I usually go for it and ended up grabbing these 2 pairs of pliers at the fleamarket for 5 bucks today, look to be really well built Anyone know how old they might be and what their intended function is? I'm going to underwater welding school now...

Yeah it was an old derelict blacksmith shop that I cleaned out, the sledge was in a pile of pressure treated wood along with a ton of spikes, I'll see how she cleans up

I picked up a big lot of railroad iron and a post vise today and along with it came this sledge hammer head. Did some work on it and it looks to say: A.B. CO and ALLOY 8 (I did weigh it, it is 8 pounds) on the other side. Could this be an American Bridge Company sledgehammer head? It looks like...

Thanks, that helped out a lot

Also picked up this little gunsmith/jeweler/watchmaker vise. Hadn't seen one before, so I jumped at when I saw it for 20 bucks, don't know if I'll ever use it, but looks really cool on the shelf all the same

just got into blacksmithing a couple months ago and finally found a post vise for a great deal today. Looks to be in pretty nice shape, not missing any parts by the looks of it. She has 4" jaws and right now is mounted to a really heavy base (not sure what the pedestal is/was?) I'm gonna clean...

Here's a cayuga I found at an estate sale for 3 bucks, needs some more work, but am really happy with it

Hit up an estate sale this past weekend in upstate Pa and found this double bit axe for 3 bucks, figured I'd get it because the edges were nice, did some clean up and it turned out to be a cayuga, still have to do some tlc to her, but really stoked with finding this one (This is my first post...
