Good morning. We periodically seen tools from Pierce Arrow. However, I never saw tools from another luxury car made in USA. In 1919 Rolls Royce acquired a plant in Springfield MA and produced Phantom and Ghost Models for more than a decade. They became known as SpringRolls among collectors. I...

I found this tool set. The owner did not know a lot about it but thinks that his father bought it in 1930s. The set is not at his home and he was not able to get me more information (will send me more images and names of the tools this week) For the vintage car set gurus: Is it possible to...

Lets share Snap On commemorative tool sets. Got this one for $34 I will start with Bel Air screwdriver set. Corvette, Harley and other set owners - show us what you got!

I found a Herbrand tool box for sale. I do not think I every saw Herbrand boxes before. Please let me know how rare and/or collectable are these boxes. How old is this box? They might be just rare where I leave... If you have another Herbrand box - please post it!

I just wanted to share some pleasant surprises I found under the rust when cleaning some of my hammers. Found the following: Vulcan Dynamic Craftsman Handyman Champion DeArment True Temper (this one was not cleaned up yet - I just put some chalk on it to show the name) Out of curiosity, how do...

What is this tool? Resolved: Can Wrench, original 216B design. What is this tool and what is it used for? It had screwdriver bits inside on the opposite sides. They are directed in the same way and rotate in same direction via the shaft. Just a random find among motherload of tools I...

Well, seems that I slowly started attracting tools which need some fixing and a new home. I still try to get rid of some, but some type of magnetism started appearing here. I was given a Delta Shoplifter GT350 grinder, 8" for an adoption. I just brought it home, plugged it in and everything...

MIT mechanic Torque Wrench 1/2" drive- help with manufacturer and possible repair. Good evening. Before I catch the brick - I apologize if this tool is not vintage. I tried to look up this model on google and could not find it, thus I assume it's not modern (could be wrong) MIT is probably...

Got 3 pliers from my rust pile which got restored. NEW YORK TOY - never heard of the company SAMSON WO6 made in USA ACIEN FONDU (molten steel, French) 1 HT Does anybody know those brands? I think I saw Samson vise before somewhere, but no more info... Please share your tools by the same...

Found this thing at a yard sale. Looked like a clamp, but vulcanizer made me thing about the process we used to fix tubes in the old style bike tires back in the old days (jeesh, that makes me feel old - I bet no kids patch their tires our days...). Decided to get it as it looked interesting...

Good evening. I am restoring some of the stuck old tools as a hobby. I got a couple of curved adjustable wrenches. It took close to 48 hours of Evaporust and a lot of effort to open those 2. Westcott required some gentle moving of the nut with slight hammer hits to open in 24 hours and after...

I found this completely frozen and somewhat rusty. Some restoration and a bath in Evaporust helped it a lot. Both sides have BERNARD stamped on them and in the top there is SARGENT & CO, NEW HAVEN, CONN sign Does anybody know how old is this tool? Also - what is this tool. By design I would...

Good evening. I partially restored an old Speirs & CO wrench recently which was made for Whitten Godding Cycle Co. I did some search on it and I think it is relatively rare, especially with the sign on the handle. The problem which I am facing is: 1. WHITTEN GODDING CYCLE CO PROVIDENCE RI...

Minor restoration of old rusty tools/update APRIL22 ...I decided to make it a longer thread and instead of creating new ones for just the pictures of updates, I will add pictures to this one. Please look towards the end for new pictures. PLEASE GO TO THE END OF THIS THREAD FOR UPDATES (I do not...

Good evening. One of our members, Gregaz, had a great idea about having a trading platform. Some members previously mentioned recycling less desirable tools, sometimes by good companies like Plomb or Fleet when they can not sell it. Even though I do not know how to make a platform, I have an...

Good afternoon. I need some advise for experienced people who buy/get tools in relatively large quantities. How do you get rid of non-collectible extras? Do you sell them on Craigslist? Do you put them on ebay? Do you just donate them? For example - I am going through my last large tool...

Corsair Unusual tool Good evening. Going through a box of rusty screwdrivers found this little thing. Could not find another one online (may be I am searching a wrong tool name). Cleaned it up a little bit, will clean further when I have more time. Does anybody know the possible use? Seems...

I found an image of this parts cabinet attached to sale of another tool. It looks very interesting. E-mailed the seller x2 , but no response. Tried to look it up online, but no luck. Somehow I feel I saw one of those somewhere on GJ, but can not locate it. The only other version which showed...

We have a lot of fans of Blackhawk art deco jacks. Today I saw a 5ton one on Craigslist. I really enjoyed reading about several restoration projects and decided to post it on GJ in case somebody is looking for a project (I am not sure if $100 is a good price for it or not as well) The link...
