If you haven’t had your picker-vision checked, don’t bother, because it’s 2020! Welcome to our NINTH ANNUAL installment! Purpose: to post and celebrate stuff bought, bartered, gifted, or otherwise acquired in the context of NON-RETAIL shopping. Appropriate venues include garage/yard/porch/barn...

Is it possible there is no thread for posting Crowntop logo Craftsman tools, supplies, and boxes? These products are about fifty or so years old, still functional, but often showing their age. I’ll start with my latest two purchases: a 12’ tape measure (today) and a carry box (couple weeks...

I picked up a worn-out EJ McAleer flip-top tote (with tools) on Wednesday, (originally posted on the Garage Sale Thread) and thought I’d see what I could do to refresh it. Initially, I thought it had always been black, but after reading fellow GJer d42jeep comment that all his were green, I...

Apologies if there is already a general thread for Bridgeport Hardware Manufacturing Corporation. I looked and only found the U.S.A.Nickel-Molybdenum and metric/SAE DOEs threads. If you’ve started a more specific thread, feel free to link to it here; the more discussion, the better! Here’s a...

It’s not my intention (nor within my ability) to recreate that site, so please check...

Ordnance Department padlock, one Corbin key with matching stamped number. As found, it had the split remains of a link of brass chain held by a brass pin through the shackle. This impeded removing rust from the shackle and created a slightly annoying obstruction to general use, so I removed the...

78rpm records are pretty much obsolete, and have been for decades. Some people collect them, and I do think destroying one in good condition is wrong, as no one is making new ones. Unlike 45s and 33-⅓s, which were made from resilient vinyl (I've had scratched ones "heal" themselves), 78s are...

Occasionally come up in other threads, but I don't see a thread on this brand. I'm not splitting the name because search ignores three-letter words. These two are the same size and model number, but different dates (patent pending should be pretty specific, and earlier) and, supposedly...

This is a pretty narrow-interest idea, but I was wondering if everyone would consider uploading images of Bonney Streamline wrenches, along with a short description. I noticed some variability among them, and wondered if conclusions could be drawn about the causes. I notice that some have the...
