Got back from a long Christmas break visiting family in UP Michigan, came back to open my Christmas present from notlob - many thanks! Lots of great vintage stuff here, Proto (one of my favorites!) odds and ends like breaker bars, a pair of adjustable wrenches, DOE wrenches, center punches...

I'll still be the guy buying 10 USA-made wrenches at the flea market for $25. Sometimes less than that. I still pay $500, I just get 20 sets of wrenches for the price the tool truck buyer pays for 1 set! :) He who dies with the most toys, leaves the most **** for their kids to sort out. LOL

Got mine yesterday at the shop, no tree this year but here's proof it arrived! Can't wait until the 25th to open!

Tracking says my package was delivered to my victim's front door yesterday, but no word from him yet in this thread. Hope he got it and the package thieves didn't, you never know in this world anymore.

Mailed mine this afternoon, should be by his place on Thursday, right on time!

Slim pickings at the fleas recently, very cold on the weekends and little time. Here's my saves over the past month or so: -pair of shears marked "H.K. Porter, Inc", handles made of bent sheet metal -antique pliers with a hammer underneath it (???), no markings anywhere -2 pairs of tin snips...

I'm in, again! This is always fun and I love sending toys to their new owners!

I can find no markings on it anywhere, possible the BSA has been worn off sometime, or it's a good copy of the BSA knife. I agree it's probably patterned after a Scout knife, since the handle is a little too small for an adult's.

Only a couple saves, and a small box full of gift tools as well: pic 1: an Audel's book on Layouts, Foundations and Framing, a 4-oz Craftsman ball peen in excellent shape, and a Kodak camera close-up attachment, No. 13, all for $3 pics 2-4: gift from a friend, was cleaning out his toolbox and...

I believe that NAF marked double box was made by Bonney, mine is identical to the one pictured on AA site, but without the BONNEY name on it. I only started getting together my GMTK stuff in the last 8 months or so, maybe a couple dozen pieces or so. All pieces were locally found at fleas...

Haven't gotten much in the way of garage sales recently, every weekend it's been raining! Been getting a lot of rain in recent months.... Also need to get a new camera, my cellphone takes crappy pics. Got a pile of vintage stuff recently, total price for everything was $20 or so. Lots of...

Nice haul! I like the Plumb hatchet, I believe that design is called a produce or a crate hatchet, designed for taking down shipping crates used in the food industry.

Pouring rain all weekend, no garage sales or fleas. I stopped in an antique store on Saturday and rescued these: -bottom is a socket wrench made by I believe Mossberg (not the gun mfr.), only markings I see are a 623 and looks like an "M" inside a diamond logo. Cost me $4. - top is a HEAVY...

Only snagged a couple items at the flea market today - beautiful weather but only a 1/3rd full of vendors. Guess they are all on vacation. small hatchet handle for $1 S-K Phillips head for 50 cents pair of vintage Ridgid 14-inch pipe wrenches, one looks pretty close to the 1937-1948 type...

Been a while since I've been on the board, and been a while since I went shopping too. Here's a few things I found yard sale picking this weekend: Pic 1: all for $8 two large DOE wrenches (no-name and a Fairmount 1-5/16) two box wrenches, a Cornwell and a "Forged Select Steel" Craftsman small...

Got another handful of vintage stuff this weekend... Pic 1: all for $10, the hand vise was $5 of it. Hand vise is unmarked. Baltimore cat's paw, Craig-Hatch nippers/crimpers, a tractor wrench of some sort, a few clips and a set of 4 pressed-steel early sockets. Pics 2-4: another $10 for all...

Thanks, but I'm keeping it. I'm building a WWII GMTK as well.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. I think I misunderstood what this thread was all about. Please excuse me.

Not much saved this weekend, mostly vintage stuff. Handful of sockets, Craftsman and Herbrand Lowell 50/50 QR cast iron socket wrench set of 4 Utica 7-6 slip-joint pliers, I think these are 1940s pair of antique crimpers of some sort, no name four wrenches, 2 are Craftsman (1 VERY old and needs...

Yay! More stuff! Pic 1 - 2 pairs of tin snips (1 Craftsman, 1 Wiss), two tape measures (1 Craftsman and 1 Evans), a spark plug gauge, set of Ryobi driver bits, a ring gauge (never seen one of these before!), and don't know what it's called but a tool used for copying patterns the needles...
