Last Friday hit a sale,good prices on what I was able to grab and scored on the copper. I spied the copper flashing hidden in the corner of the garage partially hidden by dust and grime. The guy didnt even know it was there and said 75 each. No problem on that price. The one is a 20" roll and...

I didn't think much of the estate sale I hit today after looking at the posted pictures. Glad I went and prices were very very good. The most expensive item was the 33sj Simplex vise at $40. NOS meyers HJ50S pump and NOS Kawasaki generator $25 each. NOS Yankee vise $15. Griswald Odorless cast...

The tube is full. Most well protected item I have come across. Tube is coated in wax. It took 5 min to get lid the off and the item is protected again AND wrapped in cosmolene. Crazy.

Pants are 36x28. Thanks for the info on the 530.

Hit a garage sale I saw on the way home today. Really nice 88 year old woodworking guy and his daughters running it. Stove was $12 spoke shaves $6 unkown contents tube $1 and the Carhartt Pants were $6. I wasnt thinking about the pants but needed to round up to 25bucks so he could change a C...

Got a total of 5 coal truck plates.

Thats great. I have been using a POS Igloo Playmate for the last 2 years. Junky no seal cant use as an arm rest worthless cooler.

Good deal on your wife finding your pocket magnifier You still would have been bummed if it did not turn up. Here is a pic of the stamp on the hatchet.

Great story and outcome on your radio, it never hurts to ask the company. I have a Burly firepit I bought 4 years ago, use it plenty. The bottom screen on the insert was getting warped from hundreds of hot fires. I emailed them with pictures asking if I could buy a screen and weld it myself to...

Just like the way the lid closes tight and its perfect size for my work van. Had the same one for 20 years. I ran that one over after cleaning out the work van. Forgot it was behind van and crunch. I will head out to the garage if it stops raining soon and check on the hatchet.

Got some more descent finds over the weekend. Very happy about the mini Gott cooler, had my eyes peeled hoping to find one. I dont know if the socket sets are complete but they are in good shape. This lot set me back $53. I saw the Gott after I paid for my pile, had to go back.

Hit one sale today with mostly newer tools and manage to dig out some of the better stuff. The prices were not on the low end but a mismatched pile always seems to help. This pile cost me $35, the files will come in handy. I thought the green box was SK when I grabed it because most of the...

Yup, and all the stuff I left behind contemplating and now I see what they were and the value. Should have just made another pile.

Yes, old time mechanic. It was fun, you don't see many original 1920s 1930's dust grime sales anymore. Maybe once a year, it used to be every weekend 25 years ago.

Another mid week appointment only sale. Got an appt 1.5 hours after a 10am start. Dirty dusty fun and some good stuff left. It seems most of the guys were not digging deep because of the grease and grime. I had no problem. Make a pile she kept telling everyone and I did. I dropped $150 on my...

I wish it was 1/2HP or better but I definitely can't complain.

Mid week appointment only sale today. I got a later time but was glad a few keepers left. Had to dig, here are a few of my better finds. Might go back tomorrow as the place is horded up. The guy running it gave some fair prices. $15 on the hog splitter $5 on the draw knife and $40 on the...

Last day of an estate sale and this was still nailed to the wall with about 10 nails. We agreed on $50 and was able do drill the heads off the nails. Kinda beat up, there was no need for so many nails that damaged the back. Now I need to find a way to get rid of the white paint and bang out some...

One more picture.

Looks like a 1930 date code but not sure. I looked through some period catalogs and cant find these. Maybe these are later than 1930. Thanks for any help.
