I seem to have acquired two pair of the bent nose pliers. I believe the one with the WILDE-KCMO logo is very early. It also does not have the rope knurled handles, and different finishing grinds.

Here is the final product. Pretty happy. WT Bayonet from 1942 with correct scabbard, web-belt and two pair of pliers!

OH - I love it when hobbies overlap! I have a general interest in (of course) tools, and also tool/industrial companies in the Kansas City (both Missouri and Kansas) generally where I now live, and a more than passing interest in mil-surp firearms. It all came together with my recent...

The long drought has ended - 3.5" Wilton Shop King. From an emergency garage sale today - the Previous Owner suddenly passed away and the family was trying to clean out the apartment in just a few days. Really dirty and lots of coats of paint. Missing the pipe jaws, and has an inch missing...

A moment of silence please for the suitcase that gave up its handle for the pseudo restore of the Single Latch Vintage Craftsman Socket/Ratchet set above. Handle is too long, but looks great. Suitcase is full of "really bad" bathroom cleaning products as "they" left the rental (not mine/ours).

This 1/2" Drive non-reversible ratchet is from a recent tool box find. It is missing the coupler that makes it useful! Prefer Craftsman H-Circle, but any/no brand is OK. Picture shows the ratchet.

Here is my addition to the survey from today Craftsman Circle-H Non-reversing 1/2" Drive, OAL 10" MADE IN U.S.A. (on same side as "Craftsman (H)" T-S FORGED 7-46

Cleaned up the box and sockets. Still need to work on the long tools.

Never ceases to amaze me what is randomly out there to be found. This H-Circle ratchet set was CHEAP - the booth owner said it had been in storage for years, and it needed to be gone - I said OK! I need to research the archives a bit on what should have been in it from the start - but the...

Charles Parker No. 60 - Age of Steam - Sugar Creek, OH As seen while pursuing another hobby. Newest full scale railroad roundhouse in USA.

And - for the size of various handles and wrenches - 1957 GTD Catalog

Well - I looked closer briefly before my appointments this evening. There is a wear ring at the lower end of the notches, and the lower part does insert into the upper part - BUT - the set screw with dog that fits into the groove on the inner part is offset by the amount shown in the picture...

I have a Greenfield GTD 338 Tap Wrench. The ratchet mechanism was broken and parts missing, so put a 3/16" pin in so I can use it. The appearance is different than what I see by searching on-line and on CG with the square openings showing. Is this put together or a different version or even...

Thanks. Someone in the distant past had painted it blue, and being different is OK so I did too. And yes, Pat Pen and I knew that!

Yep - the pins are one of the "Great Mysteries of Life". Took me a LONG time to figure it out - it was a single low pin as well, although broken

Here is my first Wilton - 4" Pat Pend. It was such an interesting learning experience! Lots of pics here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/46064258@N08/albums/72157684394529983

Super interesting story and a real time capsule of a vise.

As seen on recent road thru Eastern Kansas (still there) Did not do any real inspection No pipe jaws H.B. Smith 2A $135

Likely a better deal than first appears - there are FOUR of them, and two have vehicle mounting plates!
