Is anyone familiar with a pneumatic riveter made by the United Shoe Machinery Company? I just acquired one and I am trying to figure out what the maximum psi is. The listed maximum psi was either worn off the label or it was never stamped. It is a model 92844.

These are some of my latest finds.

What type of machine is this for?

Oh sure, there are plenty of nice vintage drill bit indices posted here - but how many of them have a spot for your 14/32” size drill bit?

This is my B&C wrench as found at a yard sale. I find it interesting because I think it represents a time when things were repaired instead of thrown away.

I've never been sure - how do you pronounce Starrett?

With few exceptions, all of my tools are vintage that are found at yard sales, flea markets, etc. I own this Stanley 04-413 drill guide. I have never tried it so I can't give you much of a review. It does seem to have some slop and angle deviation. Largest hole is for a 1/4" drill bit. I did a...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like a very useful tool. Too bad it is missing the cutters.

Any ideas what this is?
