Update tonight- after doing more research on it. Seems a lot are calling it a plant mister. So now I’m not sure if it’s even an oiler. Just pick up this Three Stars No.305 oiler today. Oh well. Looks cool. I will display it with my other oilers. Made in Hong Kong. it was made from the...

Thanks for the info. I just looked those up and it could be. The only ones I can really find that have a single latch and little metal drawer knobs is a Simmonds brand. But I cant find a Simmonds or a JcPenny with a plastic handle. Also all the ones I find that look like it, the holders for the...

Before and after of Eclipse I just recently got.

couple of before and afters of some saws I cleaned up.

Saved this rusty thing. Got it for a display piece. Will probably use it to display some of my restored vintage tools in it. Can’t see any markings on it. So not really sure of its age.

Picked this Eclipse no.55 saw today. Only bought it because how odd it was. Strange that it has a hacksaw blade on the bottom but is like the size of a coping saw. Also not sure the age of it

A couple Rosco drivers I had laying in a drawer. Gave them a quick clean up. Middle one is already done. just a pic comparing before and after. All 3 cleaned up.

My not too old oilers. Then I have these old small oil bottles by Muller.

Old Ford model A tire pump. I also collect vintage hot rod and custom car magazines. Date range is from 1955 to the 1970’s. Got a few drawers full of the little pages. And then stacks and boxes of full size ones. Last count I think I’m at about 300 magazines.

Cleaning the garage today and found this hidden in it. Totally forgot I had this. Not 100 percent of the age. Thinking late 40’s to mid 50’s. No markings on it. Need to find the top cap for it.

This is so beautiful, If I owned it, I don't know if I could bring myself to use. it. I would probably have it on display inside the house.

Only one in my collection.

This one is currently in the maintenance guys shop at my work. Pushed in the back corner and hasn't been used in a few years. Recently I've been putting the bug in his ear with the ol' saying "if you ever want to get rid of that. Let me know and I will take it off your hands." Hopefully he...

Just realized I bought two Kraeuter tools from the same person. Once again I only bought them because of the handle pattern.

That's a great article. Thank you for that. So we at least know they are newer than 1968 then. Also wild how bad these are for you. When I first got them I wanted to polish them, thinking it was copper. Then after some reading I realized its best to leave them alone.

Thanks. I'm fairly new to collecting tools. I collect whatever catches my eye or odd looking ones. I grabbed these because of the handle pattern. Good to know they are a little on the rare side.

Not sure if this is old or vintage. Anyone know how old this beast could be? I was offered it if I want it.

This was given too me a few months back. I know its a drum wrench. And I do know not to do try and polish it. Safest to leave it be. Anyone have an idea of the age on it?

Picked these up at a flea market in November. Still need to try and clean them up some.

My first attempt at restoring an Acetate handle screwdriver. It’s an late 60’ to early 70’s Fuller 802/2 angled #2 Phillips driver. It was in pretty rough condition. You can see where it was tore up by someone using pliers on it. Almost looked burned. I took as much material off of that section...
