C'mon, fess up 3bay... did you pilfer those from Wright's secret archival vault? I've never seen that many together. Great collection! Bill

I didn't get out this past weekend, but I did pick up this Snap-on 71N (1945 dated?) 1/2" drive ratchet today. Bill

Thanks @four.cycle! Now the only mystery is who manufactured it for them. From the looks of it, I believe it could be either H-P (BlueLine) or Vanadium Tool Corp (VTC) from the 60s.

Some recent pickups... Craftsman 1/4" SAE socket set V/VV marked Proto 5649 3/4" ratchet Handful of wrenches. The Sentry combination was a new one to me. Bill

Picked this up for two reasons... first, I've never heard of Sentry. Sentry hardware? Second, hex/V gullet. Reminds me of BlueLine or VTC. Bill

Target Of Opportunity

Found this 4088 ignition set while I was cleaning out some things at my parents' house. It looks unused. Packaging appears to be different in this 1974 catalog on ITCL but the contents are the same. Bill

I had never seen this logo until I saw it on this DS-24 3/4" deep 1/2" drive socket that I picked up today. Bill

Not strictly a garage sale find, but a local purchase just the same... Sometimes it's nice to remember the nice experiences, too. Found this lot of Williams 1/2" drive sockets when I was trawling eBay looking for some 1/2" 6 point users (I was reminded the other day that I live in the rust...

I needed a change of pace so I went to the flea market in Rogers, OH this morning. Didn't come home with much. Found a 1937-dated Bonney T35 3/8" ratchet and some bells for my daughter's collection. Bill

I was passing through my parents' garage after a visit today and I saw this 1920s-1930s era model N6 adjustable hanging in a cabinet. I had never seen one with the knurling on the handle before. I thought that maybe it was applied after manufacture by someone along the way but I see @wrench136...

Small haul Friday... Plomb WF-36 1/2"-drive 20" extension and Petersen Vise Grips - just because you have to. Bill

Not if you want this one.

A little catch on the first sunny day in a while. Williams DuoHex 8027 DBE, Plomb pebble 1125 DBE, Plomb pebble 3032 DOE, and a 1935 dated Plomb 1136 DBE. Bill

Picked up these Plomb bits recently. The first grouping is a Wright Field (WF) 9/32" drive lot: WF-5 extension, WF-8 ratchet, WF-10, WF-12, WF-13, WF-14 (2), WF-15 (2), and a WF-7 hinge handle/breaker bar. I was thinking a bit about the WF tools. Does anyone know how the USAAC/USAAF...

The tiniest Lectrolite that I own... Bill

Picked up this itty bitty #87 ignition wrench (11/32" x 3/8") yesterday. Bill

Picked up this early DuoHex 7023 DBE yesterday. Bill

Pretty cruddy when I found it, but it cleaned up nicely. This 377 (3/8" shank - 9/16" blade - 6-1/2" OAL) offset screwdriver came into my possession yesterday. Bill
