Can the date range be narrowed down by someone with a collection of the old catalogs?

Good to know. Thanks for the insight.

The knob in the lower corner of the photo turns the shaft inside the sleeve (2nd knob) with the 1/4" drive at the end of the flexible tip. I don't know if it had a specific purpose. Will see who else weights in. It has Blue Point USA on the end.

Carburetor Adjusting Tool Blue Point. Not sure of vintage. 1/4 drive, about 24" long. Info added in post #8

Wow, big timbers Tom, will last a lifetime!

Great idea Doc

Check your local fire department.....some of the folks may still have some of the older steel air pack and oxy. cylinders. They make great chimes. I will get a picture for ya, a local fella makes asst. chimes from old cylinders. He has one using an "M" size welding cyl. It's huge!

With that said you'd be the last guy I'd want to get into an arm wrestling match with!

Great starter bolt wrench, love looking through boxes at the swap meets. Still looking for Craftsman starter and speciality wrenches and C series ratchet to complete my set.....and so goes the journey. Never enough tools! Thanks for sharing.

I resurrected an old steel bench frame, the top was shot. I had 2 sheets of OSB. Cut 36 x 72 and laminated 3 layers with glue/screws. Topped it with a piece of 3/4" horse stall mat. Great solid surface, handles heavy car parts, and cleans well.

Spot on 3 bay... Here is a picture of the back side? It is used to adjust mechanical brakes on the 28-31 Model A, and 32-36 Fords. The long handle is a feature which gives leverage for turning the brake adjusting wedge which is under tension of the brake shoe springs. Other tool makers offered...

Thanks for pointing out my typo. Agreed there were lots of square head bolts used in days gone by but it has an intended purpose for those who are still guessing. My moniker will help to narrow it down.

A speciality wrench made for craftsman. Marking is a series "V" wrench for 1/2 and 7/16 square heads. What was it used for?

Fender repair - 1950 Ford F1 Had a friend help me form the panels needed with a brake and shrinker/stretcher tool. I cut off 3" or so and welded in the new sections. Used a Miller 185 MIG with .023 wire. Used a hammer weld technique and finished with a little bit of filler. The new radius...

Identified two. Lower left Model A/B, upper right EFV8. Not sure about the other....maybe Fordson?

Lol, funny Bruce. Good eye Bruce & Rookie2. It is a Cotter Pin Puller, pretty slick tool.

Now some old timers will know right away. I found these in the bottom of a tool bin at an antique store. I was stumped when I first saw them. Have been a handy tool in the shop. Whatdaya think?

My mistake...shot from the hip.....I have a 5300 series. Nice job on the refurbishing. I dissasembled mine when I bought it to clean and lube. Replaced the cross feed nut and adjusted the ways. Still needs a couple of bushings replaced. Will do a complete dissassembly and paint in a year or so.

Anyone else out there with a 6300 lathe? Oops! Realized as soon as I saw your picture my typo..... I have a 5310 and not a 6300.

Posting a link to a website with Claussing history and model info. May help rule them out..... http://www.lathes.co.uk/clausing/page11.html
