Nice pull, @LesserSon … Those Wiss seamers are the best of the breed in my opinion. Best regards, John

Like RagTop said, onesies and twosies. If you watch the Garage Sale thread, you’ll see that most of us don’t catch more than a handful at a time although I have to admit that my introduction to Plomb came through this almost complete 5400T send found in Warren, Ohio in a thrift/pawn/antique/junk...

That's a beaut, OTG

Brilliant!

Well, I'll be a sonofa... Thank you, @RTM Looks like I'm going to spend 11 times as much on blades as I did on the plane! Aint' that always the way it goes? V/r, John

Today was one of those days where something you aren't even moderately looking for simply falls into your lap. I'm a hand-tool woodworker whenever I get some free time and have built a fair collection of user planes over the years. One model of Stanley that I've never even bothered to look for...

@Private Lugnutz I'd love to take one of those 5249s off your hands, but all I've got off of your lookin' for list is one miserable 4708 socket! Let me know if there is anything else on my list that could get us evened up. Best regards, John

Proto snags from a couple of days ago. The picklefork is Proto LA... and badly pitted.

The Plomb haul from a couple of days ago... This may be a GJ boo-boo (couldn't find a clear answer in the usual locations), but I know myself and several others are trying to complete Plomb sets (wrenches, sockets)... while also accruing doubles and triples of particular sizes. Have we ever...

Here's the haul from a couple of days ago. Managed a fair pull on the Plvmb with 2 tappet wrenches ('though one has been thinned even further by a PO). Plvmb Pebble DBE 1135 11/16 - 3/4 Plvmb LA DBE 1145 15/16 - 1 (7A) Plvmb 1220 Combo 5/8 (HC) Plvmb 3440 Tappet DOE 13/16 - 7/8 (7/8 end...

That thing looks minty fresh compared to a couple of the dual-marked wrenches I've found. I suspect that will clean up quite nicely. Good pull, John

It's a shame, as those 74xx sockets are not super common. I've located exactly 2 in quite a bit of looking, one of which UPS lost enroute to another GJ member. Best regards, John

A couple of stops today produced the following: Bell System Stanley 2101A Brace Greenlee Car Auger Bit #20 Winchester Auger Bit #24 Unknown Stacked Leather Handle Flat Driver... possibly shop-made? Plvmb 1224 3/4 Combo Plvmb 2822 Flat Driver P.S. & W. 6in Monkey Wrench Proto 9694 Clutch head...

A few pieces from this weekend... Best regards, John

Found a couple new ones for the kit... I don't run into a lot of the double squares in larger sizes.

We were over in Northeastern Washington this weekend, so I made a troll (not the under-bridge type) through a few likely looking spots and came away with the following: Proto LA 5343 5/8 x 1/2 Deep Proto LA 5280 3/8 Speeder (rough... real rough) Proto 7213m 13mm x 3/8 Proto 5436 1 1/8 x 1/2...

There y'all go again filling holes in my knowledge! Much appreciated, gentlemen. V/r, John

Ignore the sneaky Plomb wrenches... I found this Proto LA 1127 yesterday and thought it interesting. I don't remember coming across 19/32 regularly. Best regards, John
