Here's the list :
- Kraeuter 16" carry box (empty)
The only reason I grabbed the Kraeuter box was because I had never seen one around here before. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. At worst, the handle would be good for repairing an old Craftsman box if I need it.
:
Use it to keep your Kraeuter tools!

On the lanterns, just keep the basics for personal use and the extras help to offset some of my buying of USA vises and old woodworking hand tools.
Mike
The 13/16" has a blown out driver end and the 31/32" deep has slices cut into the socket end, presumably expand to fit 1" or get over rusty nuts.

What ?? You mean the ONE 8" pair of pliers I own. The box is a bit large for that, don'cha think ?
My iPad has a lousy camera and my desktop is still dead, so I can't use my camera. Hopefully this pic is better.

Bummer. I figured there was a one-in-thirty chance I had what you needed. I have a Ray 11/32, a Larson 3/8, and a Mossberg 25/32 - all orphans.

Slacker. If you has 22 pairs like me, not to mention that one socket...

Thanks, Mike, LesserSon, and Outlaw (button holes punch makes a lot of sense). And thanks for the link, LesserSon! BTW, McAleer is one of three verified wartime suppliers of that style box, along with Union and Hamilton.
I am impressed with the simplicity of the Boynton's wrench design. The nut basically acts as a stop for the upper jaw. This is the first one I have ever seen.

View media item 63847That was it from the mornings boot sale, £1 English Stanley knife and English and German hex keys.
Underfunded trip to the flea market today; $10 bought:
No3 Stanley sweetheart-era level, Bonney 10" Stillson wrench, Krueter roundnose pliers, 4oz Plumb ballpein with Cayuga replacement handle, two Hinsdale and one New Britain 1/2dr sockets circa1930s, two small Dunlap DOEs, an AutoKit controlled steel combo wrench, and five NOS Irwin brace bits.
Spotted two small blue (1940s?) Craftsman pipe wrenches, maybe 8" and 10", one with good decal, but cash too tight today to even ask a price.

I have been on a little hot streak lately, which reached fever temperature this morning!Lug you are really scooping up the wartime stuff!
More photos, including close-ups later, but those lineman's climbers in need of some tender loving care are Kleins, made for the US Army Signal Corps! Very rare to find in the wild.
Started my day late at the flea market today. Not much to see as by 9am the dealers were packing up because the clouds decided to spit for 10min. It was like rats jumping ship because someone dropped an ice cube.
I did catch one guy as he was packing up. I was able to grab 11 3/8dr sockets for $2. All Bonney.
MT6 12pt knurled 6mm
MT7 12pt knurled 7mm
MT9 12pt knurled 9mm
MT10 12pt 10mm
MT11 6pt 11mm
MT12 12pt 12mm
MT13 12pt 13mm
MT14 6pt knurled 14mm
MT15 12pt knurled 15mm
MT16 6pt 16mm
TLH20 6pt 5/8" deep
(missing the TM8 8mm socket)

The next stop was a return to the tool sale from yesterday. I just couldn't get those air movers off my mind.
A lot more people were pawing through the boxes today, including one of my local friendly rivals. He picked up a roached out canoe. Not sure what he's going to do with it. As far as I'm concerned, it's only good as a planter or a big a$$ party bucket to fill with ice and beer.
The air fans were still there, but first I got distracted by a SnapOn wrench roll.
SnapOn C-92C 9 pocket roll w/
- Gearwench 15mm ratcheting combo
- Gearwench 17mm ratcheting combo
(price in the next post)

And now the fans.
He had three available. I was able to test them all. The first two were badly out of balance, to the point that one was walking around the driveway. The third was working fine, so yes, it came home with me.
Minuteman mod# C44000-01 4amp carpet drier
The price for the fan was $80 and the SnapOn roll and wrenches were $2.
I emptied my pockets and came up with $81.50. He was OK with that, but his prices were good so ........ a walk over to my truck and a little scrounging on the floor came up with two more quarters and I was on my way.

Some cool stuff you guys got this weekend.
Me I was batting 0-9...finally got a few things at my tenth and last stop this weekend. Screwball ratcheting driver, little utility snips, and 6 Xcelite Delux (#7-12) all for one big dollar. (of course I spent about 10 bucks in gas driving around...haha)

Nice haul, Brian! Would you mind posting some close ups of the two double box end wrenches offset on the DBE thread on the vintage tools section?

From a C/L ad today for $60.00. The grinder is model number 600E, 1/3 hp. I plan to use the base for my 3/4 hp Baldor buffer.

All cleaned up...
1948 CRAFTSMAN file handle. This patent (2479661) is the same patent on the General file handle I found earlier this year, and it works the same (the end cap is a screw that releases the clamps). Guessing General manufactured for Craftsman. Nice geometric C logo.
The half-moon DBE (9/16 x 5/8) is a Duro-Chrome G 2081.
The JP Danielson-made 8-inch adjustable crescent wrench is a Plomb model 708 S “PLVMBALOY STEEL”. 1947 date code.
Here are more shots of the Klein lineman’s climbers.

Thats something to look for !! It just looked like a quality tool and it was one those handful of tools for $3 deals, so it came with me.
If I find a name I will post it.

Gonna have to paint it Makita blue...
Surprised the guy who had it before hadn't.
After all, it's engraved (lightly, though) NBCC Carpentry on the lid. So someone at some point stole it from the local community college.

Those climbers have tree gaffs on them.

If you're referring to the type and length of the gaffs, as far as I know, that's perfectly consistent with Signal Corps lineman's climbers (LC-5), pete. The Signal Corps worked fist-in-glove with the Corps of Engineers to set up Lines of Communication, and they weren't always on utility poles, especially not in theater.
While this particular manual figure doesn't include detailed specifications, note that the tip of the gaff is even with the bottom of the climber stirrup.
And here are some examples from the US Army Signal Corps museum showing the same thing.

Flea market today. I have been looking for a hout drill index for a while now so I was glad to pay $3 for that one. Also got a Husky 3/8 set, a Greenlee auger set in a metal case, an SK extension and DBE, and a Barcalo DBE.
