Re: Craftsman 1/3-HP flat-top Block Grinder m-397.19580, restore Hansen Rivet may have those rivets. Maybe I missed it but how did you restore the metal front tag? I must have about ten of these grinders in my basement and garage that I have picked up at flea markets....waiting on me to...

There's an awesome craftsman vintage block grinder on ebay..item number 272579016310. The 3/4 HP is pretty rare. I have a couple of the 1/2 version. SOOOO COOL

Here's a new pic...it says warranted steel...the word steel is where I thought a date was.

WOW how awesome! Any idea what era this is from? thank you so much!

I am having trouble making out this manufacturer name on this hand axe. It appears to have a date of 1867. The manufacturer is xxxxxxHILL TOOL Co. ??? Not usre. It had a way-too-cool vibe I could not pass up for 8 dolllars. Still very usable.

The walker turner is gone. And I'm down to 4 drill presses. 3 Delta Homecraft and one delta from the 30s that is very clean and rocks!

So I gave my 272 to a friend and he worked with it and eventually heated it up to get the pin out and the swivel moving. Nice vise. The only issue is 1/3 of the collar is broken off (the part that holds the screw from backing out....it still works but , well, ya know...I want a good one on...

It should be added that I have in my possession several bullets with PAT PEND lettering that have no date stamp (presumably early than 1945) and several with PAT PEND lettering and date codes indicating 1945. I have not seen the pat pend lettering past 1945. I also just acquired two number 4...

Just acquired this one and have already listed it on ebay (I don't know how many vises I have here...too many to count). It is about 50 pounds...Columbian model no 304 M...I am posting on here just because it seems rare...I cannot find another one anywhere! Apparently a rare model with the...

I have the exact same problem. I bought a 272 for 60.00 at a flea market in beautiful shape....but the pins are unmoving. Otherwise everything is wonderful condition...swivel base and clean smooth jaws...screw works great. Any suggestions other than electrolysis which I do not have access to?

I have 6 old drill presses here...I will never be able to restore them all. If someone would like to have the Walker Turner pictured, please call me I am in RHode Island. It runs great. Just dirty, greasey...begging to look like new again. It is not sloppy and loose by the way. 401 419 0621

I picked up a walker turner but do not have time to restore it ...it runs...if someone wants it, call me...I am in Smithfield Rhode Island 401 419 0621

Here's an odd one that I can't find out much about...a PAPEC pedestal for sanding..or something....some kind of sanding disc? Papec manufactured farm implements starting in 1901... but I can find nothing out about this piece...it's cool though with fantastic build quality. It has a RH threaded...

I had a blast last week at Brimfield Flea Market, one of the best and most well known flea markets in the country....the largest inventory of machine age and industrial junk you will ever see...:)some incredible tool finds and antiques came home with me...I went four days....now I can't get my...

Just picked up one of the craftsman king sealey saws in gold..model 103.22161. Man what great quality!

Here's a baby bullet that I just refinished. It has Chicago on the side (so probably from the 40s) but has a stamp of 1967 on the key, which I assume is the date it was finally sold.

I'm not sure which model this is that I just acquired a couple days ago...it has DP400 cast in the head...it has what I think is the 1930s patent number yellow label, and the 1/3 HP repulsion motor that I think is original. The thing is in great shape! I cleaned it up a little tonight and...

Here's an interesting little known factoid: SK tools made socket sets in the 30s (and 40s?) with the name Brazil on them The sockets are identical to "modern" SK sockets but say "chrome alloy" rather than "SK". I read that some of these same sets were left with no label on them so that local...

I just received another number 3 that I purchased. see pics. Someone did a nice refinishing job and this example has very little wear to the jaws....very nice early example with Pat Pending lettering....also showing NO date stamp on the slide. My theory is that circa 1941 vises with pat pending...
