I have some loose number and letter stamps that I found in a tool box I bought recently. I am keeping the set of 1/2" number stamps but will sell or trade the others. I would be interested in finding a 0 in the 1/2" size to complete a second set. I will tape the stamp to a piece of cardboard...

I got these three items with a bunch of tools in a tool chest at a garage sale. The other tools seemed related to working on heavy equipment and some machinist stuff. All three have recesses that look like they might seat a bearing ball. All three have 16 threads per inch, which is quite fine...

I have a Fluke model 75 multimeter. It has been sitting around for close to 20 years because it won't work. It powers up but the DC functions and the ohms always read OL (overload), even with no leads attached. Would it be worth trying to get it fixed? Or is there a troubleshooting procedure...

I saved this old box from the trash at an airport over 30 years ago. I used it for a number of years to keep extra tools in while working on airplanes. It has been to Alaska eight times. I saved it again a few weeks ago when my wife had it stacked with the trash. :( I guess she doesn't have...

This looks like someone had some time on their hands! CL ad: http://corvallis.craigslist.org/bar/3179897941.html

I already have one, so I thought someone else might be interested in what looks like a Cheney Anvil Vise. Here is the CL ad: http://salem.craigslist.org/tls/3197391791.html

Any of you tool box junkies know what this box is? It looks like it has holders for something and also a compartment on the back of the fold-out front panel. Not my ad nor do I have any connection to the seller. Just curious. http://salem.craigslist.org/tls/3167129396.html

Anyone recognize this tool? It has no maker's marks, is in a wooden box, and the instructions refer to a "Nu-Seat" ring, which I believe is an insert. It looks like something from the 1920's. The model number appears to be 677 or 672.

Saw this on a nearby Craigslist. It must be a very special vise, er...VICE! http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/tld/3114439186.html

The other day I checked out an ad in Craigslist for some tools. I saw some 8-point sockets in the photo and thought it was interesting. After taking a quick look I made an offer and he took it, so I came away with a 1930's box with 28 sockets (one 3/8" drive, the rest 1/2" drive) of which...

I noticed this on a nearby Craigslist posting. Not cheap, but you'd be the only kid on the block with one of these! It appears to be similar to the Sun Distributor Tester, but with maybe a few more features. I'm pretty sure that the box on the left is a "Trouble Shooter" condensor tester that...

I picked up this wrench a while ago but only used it for the first time yesterday. It works very well. It seems to grip the tube nut better than my old 6-point Craftsman tubing wrench, and of course the 12-point design allows you to work in a tighter area. On one side it says "1/2 22325...

Yesterday I was in a local second-hand store to look at used furniture, which is their specialty. I wandered back to the used tool area which is usually a wasteland of asian junk. To my suprise I found a variety of interesting items. I saw several Barcalo and Vlchek end wrenches and there was...

I recently bought a Rockwell 10" Contractor table saw. It is a Model 34-44C and I can't find any information on the web about it. All the saws I find are Model 34-4xx numbers, and the 34-445 Series 1 is closest to the one I have. Can anyone steer me to information on this saw? It is a nice...

No connection to seller. Been listed on CL before by this seller. Very interesting old vise! :thumbup:

Not associated with the seller!!!!! http://salem.craigslist.org/tls/2824824357.html It hasn't been snapped up yet. I wonder why. :headscrat

I have a couple of 1/2" drive Snap On handles with an extra set of detent balls higher on the square. The square section is extra long in order to accomodate this. Any idea how old and what the mating sockets look like?

I checked out a sale of shop items on Craigslist the other day. No vises listed, but I called the number and the seller said he had two. I asked for names, and the first was a Harbor Freight. He then described the other as "rusty" and had the name "Parker" on it. I decided it was worth a...

I have an old condenser tester. It is called "The Trouble Shooter" and must date to the 1930's or 1940's. It seems to work for mfd and voltage. It has a "micro sensitive leak detector" feature that uses a screw-in light bulb. The bulb is missing. The base seems to be an normal Edison light...
