You might try a light rubbing compound or a paint cleaner wax. It might remove the rust and expose enough of the paint to keep it original looking. Great find!

Thank you. The catalog is cool. I did not see Model No 125 listed. I checked Internet Archive and didn't see another catalog. Maybe there is one out there.

Mine are not Italian shears. I’ve got a couple of my great grandparents garden pruners. One pair is Lakeside brand. They were sold by Montgomery Wards. I really like the brass springs. You can only see the "L" and part of "side." The second pair is made by Seymour Smith and Sons. I...

I've had the Worx mulcher for 3 seasons. I purchased it off Craigslists pretty cheap. It has worked well for me. I end up with about 10 40 gallon bags of shredded leaves per season.

Those are priceless and treasurable. Here are a couple that my father and grandfather made over 50 years ago.

I cleaned up the hooks today. One thing I learned from cleaning up a bunch of C clamps and these pipe wrenches is to soak the pieces in vinegar over night and clean them with the wire brush on the bench grinder the following day. There isn't any dust and they clean up faster. I don't think I...

Hello all! I have a couple of pipe wrenches that belonged to my Grandfather. The first one shows the marking E14.1 on the jaw and "PAT PEND'G" on the handle. I am wonder if this is like Private Lugnutz's 1/11/1928-9/9/1929 example? The other shows the marking B.4.10 on the jaw. Can the...

I located the rest of my Cincinnati C clamps this evening. I inherited these. I need to clean the threads up and decide if I am going to repaint them.

Yours looks very nice. Good job!

Those patches never failed. All edges were stuck to the tube.

Today, I cleaned up a J.W. Speaker inner tube vulcanizing patch clamp. I was happy that some red paint survived. This has been on our farm for probably 100 years. My father said Grandpa patched inner tubes for his Model T using this. The patches came on a tin diamond shape lid about 2.5...

That tie rod tool worked good for me on my Silverado.

Here are three Cincinnati Tool Company C Clamps that I restored not to long ago. I found just enough paint on them to repaint them their original color. The screws work great. I can't remember if these were my father's or where I got them.

Yesterday, I made a wrench extender from a piece of garage door opener steel and angle iron. I saw a few on GJ and decided to make one today. God willing, I will become a better welder some day. He is good.

Here's one that I made today. It's a short one, 9 inches long. One day, I'll be a better welder, God willing.

I have the same ratchet. Yours is stamped much nicer than mine. It belonged to my Grandfather-In-Law. I wish that I had all of the sockets. I'm lucky to have what I have. Maybe someday.

I really like my Craftsman V Series. I have both the SAE and Metric sets. I filled in the gaps with a Towallmark set that guys from GJ recommended. The only other ones that I have are the laminated type from the 1960s.

Here's mine. My father bought it in 1963. I love it. Once it is set up, it makes the cleanest cuts ever. I built this china cabinet with it in 1991.
