Greetings All, Looking to identify this Wilton vise I recently acquired. Google image searches have lead me to some eBay listings which claim it is from the 1940's but that doesn't seem correct to me, especially with the Schiller Park marking. I checked a few catalog archives but can't find it...

Duplicate post.

Made it to a few sales this past weekend with 3 producing some nice stuff. 1st sale was a continuation of a barn sale/living estate sale from last fall. Sadly the gentleman has passed and the property has been sold so the family was selling the remnants. Lots of good stuff, Snap On, Mac...

RTM, Yes, that looks like it. I also found one listed on ebay. Mine is in very rough shape but I will give it a light cleaning to see if it has any identifying marks. I am not a plane collector but couldn't leave it behind at a recent barn sale, it just looked old. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, that puts me on the right track. Much appreciated !!

Hello All, Trying to identify the maker and/or model of this plane. It is in rough shape and may be missing some parts. I can see no obvious identifiers but haven't cleaned it up much aside from brushing the surface crud off with an old paint brush. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Fresh from yesterday's barn sale. It was buried pretty well and required 4 men to lift it into my truck. Seems like a good candidate for a vice or grinder stand. The table with the wood fence is adjustable in both height and depth. Found some info and pictures on the internet, some type of...

RICKSTER : Nice pile you picked up. Is that post clean up or 'as found' condition?

Ordered some slides today myself, same deal - add 'W' to the slide number and I was good to go. Customer representative was very nice, helpful and even discounted the shipping cost. Happy Camper.

RTM: Nice pile of woodworking tools...the corner brace and mortise lock chisel are cool looking. Makes one appreciate the skill and time it took to use those types of tools.

I posted this #24 Wakefield ratchet on the Garage Sale thread and now adding here for those who may have missed it. I am not a collector these types of ratchets but acquired it during the last day of an estate sale as I was scrounging around for anything left behind in what was a very...

Shelbylex: The 6 point Craftsman combos in my pictures are - V inverted V - series, both SAE and metric. I have a few random Snap On 6 point combos and several S•K 6 point combination wrenches. My S•K wrenches are the raised panel type, 'C' series. I believe S•K still sells them in the smooth...

mikeinri : The plate has a slight "V" shape which I assumed was due to abuse or improper use. The MAC web site shows the plate as straight but a Google image search shows examples with the bend. Perhaps there was a design change over the years or it bends over time with use? As fate would have...

Picked up these items at the same sale where I got the MAC MB9200 roller cabinet (post #177) last Friday. Mostly mechanics tools that will need a good cleaning. Unfortunately many have a wavy line engraved/ground around the piece but all seem serviceable. The seller/agent was just wanting stuff...

Lugz: Thanks for the quick reply and all the details. I have picked up a few Pexto hatchet heads in the past but did not know the origins. The Wakefield has a 'patented July 12 1910' stamped on the backside. It will get the evaporust treatment tomorrow. I'll post them all in the...

So I missed what was listed as a '1 day only' estate sale on Saturday but made it on Sunday when the company extended the sale for a few hours while they loaded the dumpster and the scrap metal guy filled his truck. Nothing real exciting but I managed to find some useful items and a few...

Grabbed this Mac roller at an estate sale on Friday. It was the 2nd sale at the location, the 1st being in Dec of 2022, but somehow I missed the listing. Anyways, this roller was still there covered by random garage debris and a small, well worn, homeowner grade tool chest. After digging it out...

.......delayed reporting by the World Cup 2022 final and a nap. :) LOL

Got this SK socket at an estate sale recently. It's a 9/16 deep (semi deep?), 12 point, 3/8 drive marked S•K 42418 USA N+ 9/16. What does the N+ stand for? I called SK customer service and they did not know either, (emailed them the pictures and spoke with someone that has been there for 12...
