I picked this up at an estate sale a couple of years ago. Nothing special - just an old screwdriver. But I have no idea who made it or how old it is. I am thinking pretty old, but could be wrong. The ferrule is unique in that it is solid on the bottom, with a whole punched through for the...

The caps from Brownell's work on these three.....

Brownell's sells replacement caps. I have bought a couple, and can confirm they fit on Stanley and Apex (and a couple of no-name) hollow handle bit storage screwdrivers. BROWNELLS MAGNA-TIP #84 Hollow Handle Cap, White | UPC: 050806007956

Yep, both were made by Hubbard & Co.

Here's a couple of mattocks. Both made by Hubbard. Bridge Tool was a secondary line sold by Shapleigh hardware stores. The Cyclone - I think - was from the Cyclone Seeder Co., which later sold long-handled agriculture tools (according to Google). The Bridge Tool one has been used WAY more...

I think you found your calling. (pun intended) :D

Here's a Montgomery Ward Powr Kraft. Made by Camillus - same as their #72. I think this variant is a #80. Still has the "Powr Kraft" etch, and fancy milled liners.

Going through my mom and dad's estate. Mom worked for Southwestern Bell for 30 years. I was sorting through Dad's tools and found these two. I asked my wife why do you think they would have tweezers, and she said "To pick out the splinters from climbing the poles." Duh! :)

Picked up a few of Dad's old tools from mom's house last week. I think Dad bought these back in the early 70s, if I remember. A set of open end SAE wrenches and a set of metric. Plus a set of 1/2 SAE sockets with 77 ratchet and an adjustable wrench.

EC Simmons Keen Kutter, model K341. Circa 1924-1942.

Here's a couple of Electric Cut Co. single blade jacks from Newark, NJ....circa 1890-1910.

Nice line up, Don!

Here's an unusual pair of (Linesman?) pliers. Diamond Edge is a Shapleigh Hardware house brand, so these were made by someone else. At first I thought they were welding pliers, due to the round prongs on the end. But then I thought they might be for bending copper wire into a circle to put on...

Yes, I have seen some discussions on that was well. I tend to think of a whittler as a 3 blades, with two small ones on one end, and a main blade on the other end that seats between the two small ones. I think the Schrade 863 (and Camillus 72, Ulster 63) is unique in that it is a balloon or...

They did - according to Sellens book. They made the model K6559 in 1912 only (just 1 year) with "Be Prepared" on the shield, and the boy Scouts of America etched on the blade. I imagine one of those would be worth a pretty penny if you could find one.

Very nice old Scout knife. I like the old bone scales. Here's my E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter, model K6559. According to Alvin Sellen's book, my camp knife (with sabre spear blade) was made 1913 to 1920. Most of my collection is old Simmons Keen Kutters - I always liked them - don't know why.

I'm sure he was happy to have that one. Don't you wish it could talk!

Hi BH, what year and who made yours? If it's a Kingston, I think they put the name on the bail. If so, that's a very early one.

Cool old knife, NotGrownup. I don't know about the Canadian military's version. In the U.S. military, the demo knife (MIL-K-818) was developed at the end of WWII. Kingston and a few other manufacturers made them over the years on government contract. Then Camillus made them for decades, up...
