A couple saved from the trash can at work. Both are pre OSHA warnings and pre UPC codes. With the help of everyone’s favorite expert. AI. Looks like the green A-9 is from the late 70’s to early 80’s. And the yellow can is late 60’s to early 70’s.

Thanks. Yeah most of the vintage tools I've been restoring have some kind of bright polishing done to them. I'm one of those that restore for display purposes only. So that's why I take them a little over the top. As for the process. I will start them all by hand with 2x2 inch foam backed...

It does have a few small bits in the handle.

Made stands for them. Yep. They are now displayed on the TV console.

Quick wedge. Seems like an earlier version 1965 to early 80’e since it still running b the US patent number on the inside lip. But it does have the registered trademark R. Which puts it on the newer side of that date range. I think.

I blame you guys and this thread why I've become obsessed with nut drivers. Another Vaco found

Restored this Vlchek hammer a while back. I picked it up because I was intrigued on how small the handle was for how big the hammer head was. After some research, I found out Vlchek made auto tool kits. And a short handled hammer was part of those kits. Sorry for the bad pics. Had to pull...

4 inch Xcelite. Also first Xcelite I've seen with a pocket clip on it.

2 more drills I finished up restoring. Dunlap Looks like a Defiance but has no markings.

Probably my oldest if it is what we think it is. Cant find much history on it, but from the folks on this message board. Sounds like it could be a Weber wagon wrench made from 1845 or it could be a Weber stationary engine wrench from the mid 1880's

I was impressed how well the color matched.

I'm too cheap to buy spray paint to use maybe once. So I had Ford engine red spray paint in my cabinet that I was supposed to on a valve cover but never did. When I get home from work I will see what brand it is.

I enjoyed restoring a my first eggbeater drill (see post above) that I went back to the same antique store and bought 2 more. Couldn't pass up his prices on them. First is a crusty Dunlap. Not sure what model it is. Also not sure if there is even various models of a Dunlap. Second one has...

Millers Falls 77A I finished restoring. This was my first eggbeater drill I've tried restoring. I liked it so much that I went out and bought 2 other egg beater style drill to restore. Before After

Not going to pass them up when they are only a couple dollars. Cleaned it up with some different grit 2x2 foam backed polishing pads. Might have to polish up some of my other ones now. Before and after.
