    Open End Wrench Set with Interchangeable Heads - Who Made It?

    Found this at a flea market this morning. No markings except patent applied for and the tiny remnants of the original label. I searched but the closest I found was this: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/l-r-mfg-co-new-york-wrench-set-04-17-21.479491/#post-9042219 Any ideas?

    Vintage Toolbox Color Options

    Looking for pictures of old toolboxes that aren’t solid red or wrinkle brown. I’m not concerned about “correctness”. Just getting a little sick of red. I’ve been amassing 70’s Waterloo boxes under their various branding. I’ve been giving them a quick coat of Rustoleum Poppy Red but am looking...

    Help ID this very old socket set

    Hello all, I picked this up about a year ago and haven't been able to ID it. It's in a branded case that I can't decipher; but the construction of the tools and the wood tray make me think they may be home made. No markings at all on any of the sockets. Any ideas? Sent from my Lenovo...

    Woodward & Rogers Drill Press Looking for Info

    Hi guys I'm a long time lurker (just posted an intro) and have always found great information here. I picked up a Woodward & Rogers drill press yesterday for $40. I cannot find any information on the company never mind the press. All I have found is a few ads between 1890 and 1903 on...

    New from Mass

    Hi all, I'm 26 and working out of a 25x25 garage at the moment. My wife and I are looking for a house right now and a big barn or room to build one is a must. I collect old tools (and actually use them). I also have 5 pre-1970 drill presses and a late 20's South Bend lathe. I rarely have...
