Would love to hear what anyone may know about Mr. J.F. Brown and his hand-stamped framing square. I've seen a few other tools marked as made by "J.F. Brown," and that the DAT has a "J.E." Brown (typo perhaps) from 1841, but I'd like to know more - if anyone has more. Would really like to nail...

My search of the net found little to no information of examples or similar open-end wrenches from DE Shapleigh. Any thoughts, directions, or information you might be able to provide? I appreciate it! Standard No. 33 U.S.S. Sizes 1/2 and 9/16 Length, 8-5/8" Weight, 14 oz

Wow! What a difference a bit of white vinegar will make! This clamp was nasty-ugly when I stumbled upon it at an estate sale, but for .80¢ it was a no-brainer. Vinegar, a wire brush, and a coat of Briwax and she's downright beautiful! Size: 3" Weight: 1 lb. 15.5 oz.

I'm looking at two Morgan #30 vises, both of which have damage/broken slide sides. I've attached photos of each. The seller's asking $45 for either. Is either worth that price with this damage? I don't "need" either, I've just had my eye out for a good vise for the garage. Thanks!

Just picked up a Kennedy Kit K20 tool box with what appears to be the co's older decal. Any resources out there to help date the box via the decal/emblem? Any ideas from you guys? It's in really good shape and will look great once cleaned up a bit. Thanks, all! Tom
