Richard,
The rare pliers I had were 35CP. Nothing wrong with yours, though!
No pics yet, but the thrift store yielded a pair of Utica Soft-Grip pliers and a small Vaco screwdriver,

Mattblast,
your leadpot was made by the Santa Anita Engineering Co right here in southern Ca. They closed shop in the late 70's but their items were the stuff of legends. Very well made and i wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if that pot still works.
YOu can melt your hammer and make a new one!!

I went to an estate sale the other weekend that was advertised with pictures of a garage loaded with tools, one of the key offerings was a Starrett 15" level. Scattered in the pictures you could see other red Starrett boxes too. So I thought I would get up real early and get there at 7am for the 8am opening. Got there in the pouring rain and there were already 20 in line!
Thankfully only half were for the garage and the other half had the hots for stuff in the house. I was behind two others on the left side of the garage. I could see all the Starrett boxes on the right side! Rats! While waiting for the opening, I was eyeballing what to grab. A tub directly in front of us had probably 50 pairs of pliers in it, a lot of them with the telltale blue Channellock handles, some with red handles that looked like Knipex. I was going to dig in there first. The starting gun goes off and the guy in front of me takes the ENTIRE tub. It is so heavy he drops it and some stuff spills my way and I grab a few things before he realizes what's happening and he knocks my hands away. I got 2 good ones though!
Picked up some solid tools and a couple items to sell to cover gas.
2 Plomb wrenches, one of them the hard to find small 3018 pebble wrench
An old old Bluepoint wrench dated 1942
Very fine Swiss tweezers and nice German forceps
Channellock 447 cutters
Channellock 350-S Ironworker pliers
Crescent needlenose pliers
2 pairs small Swedish snips and Kraeuter round nose pliers
A collectible discontinued BuckTool 360 from the mid 90s.
Estwing pick hammer
Proto 710 SL adjustable wrench
Plomb 710 adjustable wrench. This one is a little different from the ones commonly seen. Alloy Artifacts dates this type to 1941, followed by the PLOMBALOY marked ones in 1947.
A cool little tool I've never come across before, a small hand drill. There are maybe 10 different small drill bits in the handle with a small chuck on one end.
Also got 2 cans of DuPont R12 freon that looked brand new.
Total damage $20

Texas: that is some "little" table you found at the scrap yard. not too shabby other items either. by the way i know they probably had a fork lift at the scrap yard to lift the table onto your trailer or flatbed, but i for one want to hear the story of how it was moved from your trailer or flatbed into your shop or garage. care to share with some of us that don't know how to move a 1000 pound table?
also just an FYI, but this thread was designed for Craigslist, estate, garage, scrap yards, flea markets and generally non retail type sales and finds so you are in the right spot.
great score and once you get that huge vise i'm sure that new table should be able to hold it in place.

You ****!
Last time I bought Freon I paid $50 a can for it.
By the way, you have to be an EPA-licensed refrigeration technician to buy Freon. I happen to have such a license. (Took a test online, paid $25 and got it). I'll be happy to take it off your hands so you're not in violation of law.

mattblast, your "bores" look to me to be taper pin reamers. They are used to ream holes to fit pins hat are tapered 1/4" per foot. When the tapered pins are driven into the matching hole, they jam in tight. Roll pins and spiral pins have replaced them as these will fit in straight drilled holes.
Here are a few items from this morning.......
First is a tool roll $2
Second is a klein Bag, leather is is good shape and no tears in canvas $2
Lastly, I found a pair of sawhorse legs, they were sitting on the side of a outdoor shed and lady told me $2 a piece(I thought, is everything here $2) so I jumped on it and asked her to write me a ticket as quick as possible. After checking out, I was told by the cashier that they were supposed to be $20 a pieve, not $2! They honored the price and I thanked them. I even think $20 each would have been a good price. Anyone know exactly when they were made, or who made them, never seen anything like them, they are even height adjustable.
I plan on using a 1" think 6 ft slab of mesquite that I purchased recently and turning it into a sofa table for the house. who knows what with the other one.

Does the milk can have any writing on it? A while back I drug home, what I thought was an old milk can for my mom, looked just like that. Ended up being some old extremely toxic pesticide poison.
Hope yours is just milk.

Today's sale turned into an adventure, and not in a good way.
The main reason I went was to buy a vintage delta grinder on a stand.
Ended up parallel parking in a ditch and couldn't get out. After seeing the grinder no longer available I offered the buyer to double his money but he decided to keep it. I helped him take it outside and load it into his car then he offered to help free my truck. The rear wheel was not gripping at all and I don't have 4x4. He used his truck to give me a push a foot forward but that didn't help free the truck. And the pushing smashed my brake light and left a big ding in his bumper (sorry about that). Had to call roadside assistance and 30 mins later I was free.
Here is what I ended up with. Funny thing is the the tow guy parked and took a look at the sale after he pulled me free.
$44 total
Negative canister
3m adhesive remover
Jacobs 1/2 chuck
Craftsman 1/4 ratchet
Dixon Germany hammer (not sure it's function)
$10 for this photo
mattblast,
Nice pick-up on the 3M adhesive remover. That stuff works great. I am on the look-out for some of that also since it cannot be sold my state of New York anymore, at least to consumers. Bastards

Not exactly a garage sale find. Bought this Craftsman toolbox from the Habitat ReStore. May have paid too much but at $17, it was too nice to pass up. Thought that the corner detail was pretty nice for a basic little toolbox.

You guys are killing it!!! I had my first actual "boot" sale :lol today(last one got rained out). Did pretty good and definitely plan on going to the next one. I sold a few things, traded a few things and even bought a few things
Pics later once I get unpacked and settled.JB, very cool saw horses!
MC Nice save on the box: I'l go out on a limb and say early 50's maybe late 40;s as I don't think those corners made it to the late 50's...
Gorton: Wow, both nice finds! I've never seen one of the PC Tiger cubs, but that would be worth getting!

OK I had a good day yardsailing, an bad day at the Steel supply house...
Pretty good stuff saved, decent prices; the drought is easing up both for yardsailing and the rain after the past month. (and more rain in the forecast)
A later visit to the local steel supply house did nOT yeild a 3-1/2" OD X 6' heavy tube, not because they didn't have it, but they would only sell it new in 20 ft sections.. The used/cuttoffs stack had stuff too rough or too short for the DP post I want...
Right off the bat, at a church fundraiser rummage sale, a Sears Craftsman 1-1/2HP 115/230 reversible ball bearing 3450 RPM motor (seems way too small for 1-1/2 HP but it draws 17 A on 115...) Mfg 113, so it's an Emmerson. Plugged it in and it sings! from the crud on it I think it was from a wood working tool.
Off to the Col FM:
No pics yet as its torn apart and soaking, but first PU was a Babco (I believe the same as the old Vise Manufacturer, located in Oakland CA. and USA made...; way before they started importing everything...) hand drill powered jig saw for a buck. "frozen, but I suspected it was old grease/guck and I was right. The innards after getting some of the guck out looks new.
I couldn't resist these at a buck each, (except for the pocket knife, it was 2). The pocket knife opens and closes, and the snips work!
A J. T. Slocomb Co. (Prov. RI, U.S.A.) 1" mic (it zeroed out perfectly after a quick swipe with my thumb, so thats a good sign..), DBE Bonney adn Bollings wrenches, and a small 1/8" wood handled driver. $8
A Proto Calking iron (several available, I cherry picked one), Prot 4" Adjustable, Easco Torx, and a Speedo adjuster - $3
4" Williams clamp (this cleaned up nice) $2, and a SO and Powr Kraft DBE wrenches, $1 each.
Dies for a button making machine, $5 ea, and the 4" adjustable was thrown it! K. & B. Co. New Haven Conn. which is apaprently the Kilborn & Bishop Co. est. 1896. The back side is marked 22-1/2 deg! Kinda cool!
A pic of the K&B building about 1910;
More to come!

No sales, but I had to run some errands today so I made sure I went past the HoH Restore.
It's also time to play catch-up, so there's a couple extras here:
At top is a thrift store Oster Maxaw. Below that can be seen the thrift store Utica soft-jaw pliers from yesterday.
Everything else came from today: A Millers Falls No. 1950 Buck Rogers brace, an older Craftsman soft-tip hammer (with original handle! I thought this one had replaceable tips-it looks like I might be wrong???), screwdrivers from Vaco and Powr-Kraft, =Craftsman= nut driver, Tru-Test 1/4" drive spinner handle, KD No. 430 door handle clip tool, and sockets by OTC and P&C.

The Spoon is marked Allegheny Stainless Steel WB/W
The sheath has, (Drum roll please) the Boy Scouts of America Emblem and Seal!
I picked this up for my sister, since she is decorating with a leaf motif:
And last from a guy I buy from regularly at his home yard sales and the FM, a Billings "Special" short DOE tappet wrench, and a really interesting clamp that has a quick release on the thumb screw, and a final tightening lever (sort of the Vise grip concept but the lever does the tightening)

Headed to the local flea market this morning. I saw some stuff, but the prices were steep for stuff I didn't need nor did I think I could resell for a profit.
I did get this box of screwdrivers and other odds and ends. The square piece of solid steel with a threaded hole has me baffled
??
I had a complete set of precision screwdrivers many years ago that were left at a camp ground by an X-girlfriend. Even though this is mostly straight edge ones I can't complain. Some is better than none
.
Anyone need some leatherworking stamps?
What is this for??
I really dig this old Zippo pocket knife. The company makes turbines for fighter jets.

Nine -- missed your post. Glad that you liked it. Was pleasantly surprised to find it and further to see that it had been on their shelf for 10 days (based on the inventory date on the price tag).

Agreed, shop built machinist jack for supporting the edge of a large object while machining.
I tend to agree with the jacking tool concept.
It's finish is a bit rough for tooling in my experience, as a machinist would want the jacking surfaces to be 100% parallel, and the other pics in the other thread (That I'm too lazy to go ferret out at the moment) don't appear to be made with that level of care.
Many other places could use a short strong screw jack, if only to lift something to replace a leg or add a shim... so "mechanics" jack?

First post in this thread. This week was a bust, so here is the haul from last week's two stops:
FPU (Fabryka Przyrzadow i Uchwytow AKA Bison-BIAL) vise 5 inch jaws $15
Craftsman 506-51800 vise $13.00
Littco Corner clamp $7.00
Small wrenches $2.00 each
Craftsman catalogs $1.00 each
Aluminum rods both for $0.50
It takes so darn long to dismount a vise I usually lose out on the really good stuff.

Nothing like starting with a bang.
Those vises are both You **** prices. The "corner clamp" is also a vise not a clamp. Make sure to post in the vise thread.

Yesterday I was helping a friend at a Marine Flea Market. If I am working I can't be spending. Right?
Well I guess I was wrong. Here are my winnings from yesterday. First up is a tool box that I know nothing about except what is on the label. That tells me a lot but I have never heard of the company and there is almost nothing out there on them. Simonsen Industries, Chicago. Made for the Government. Very strong, well made box though. It has been painted gray, and looks like an aftermarket job, but it is a color I would expect from a military box. Paid $20 and don't think it was much to high. Considering the apparent rarity it might be a good price. It will be going up for sale.
Second box is a little Union box. It was free so I had to accept it. It needs help.
Third item is a Stanley #7 plane. Condition is good but needs serious cleaning. Even the blade is fairly sharp. $10
The screwdrivers are Ames, made in Germany. JIS, perfect for all Japanese motorcycles. 3 for $1. Should have taken them all as the seller did not realize what they are. Last was the thread cutters for wood. Overpaid at $20 but I have a current use for it and it is still way cheaper than buying new.
Picture quality is not the greatest as I used the camera in my tablet.
Oh I forgot the plywood. Almost a full sheet of 3/4", a half sheet of 1/2" and just under a half sheet 1/4" all for $25
Well I guess I was wrong. Here are my winnings from yesterday. First up is a tool box that I know nothing about except what is on the label. That tells me a lot but I have never heard of the company and there is almost nothing out there on them. Simonsen Industries, Chicago. Made for the Government. Very strong, well made box though. It has been painted gray, and looks like an aftermarket job, but it is a color I would expect from a military box.
Paid $20 and don't think it was much to high. Considering the apparent rarity it might be a good price. It will be going up for sale. Second box is a little Union box. It was free so I had to accept it. It needs help.
