Hey B17E1943, I think you over paid a bit. I'd go back and ask for at least 50 cents of your money back. 
That is a You **** deal!

I wasted my morning at the only Fri sale in my area. I got there early to get a low number, only to find out that the single digits are reserved for their big money regulars. Then had to wait an hour before they opened the doors. Once in, I couldn't find the tools that they said would be there. I asked and was told that the garage wouldn't be opened for another 15min. 
I was the second one in the garage, and the "tools" they said they had ended up being a few chinese pieces in a pile and the expected yard tools that get stuck in the corners of the garage. The last time my garage was that empty was the day I moved in. I did get one nice piece though, a Record #141 corner clamp (made in England) for $4. That's it.
Hopefully I'll have better luck at tomorrow's sale.
The first picture is "as found". The others are after cleaning it up. It's larger than my little aluminum Pony clamps. I only wish there had been a pair. I think I remember WoodWorker's Warehouse selling these in the 90's.
EDIT : I just looked this up. They're still available on Amazon for over $100 each !
This one might be pre Irwin. (still a wasted morning though)

I went to one garage sale today as it was just down the road from me(8 mins drive) and I was the first in line for the garage.
This is my $40 haul! (although B17 puts my little haul to shame....
Couple of snap-on hammers, and some body dollies but only one is marked snap-on
Air hammer, only one chisel and a broken spring, need to test it still but figured it's worth a shot.
a Fork, new Britain i think and a brass rod and a Milton tire gauge inflator.
SK Wrenches, i got MM from 19-7 but missing the 18,17, and 16. The standard set has from 1" to I think 9/16" and then the sockets are SK, a few MM and some standards. I got a few mid length too, hardly see theses styles in the wild so I snagged all I could find. The hex and torx are craftsman and the long hex is a Proto, the big flat head is a proto.
also this bin tray,
That was it today!
I need to go through my tool box and figure out what I am missing and what I got extras of that I don't need and see if I can trade for some of the ones I am missing for what i got.

One stop today, 2nd day of an estate sale, pretty far out in a small town. I paid $27.35 for everything shown:
At first I thought the box on top was SK, then I found the front cover. It's an Artisan, Gambel's department store brand (see AA for more info). It's in great shape:
There are two =Craftsman= lug wrenches on the white cart, which is for:
No, I didn't get the Porto-Power. Still a cool label, though.
I found some loose stuff, too:
=Craftsman= hack saw, chisels by Snap-On (1) and Vlchek (2), Champion DeArment (Channellock), er, channellocks, and various styles of slip-joint pliers by Crescent, Motor Spec (Diamond), and Challenger.
Finally, the wrenches:
Craftsman underline/long-C short offset DBE (Outlaw?), DBEs by SK and Williams, combos by Action, Armstrong, and Craftsman (the small one), and DBEs by Williams, S-K Lectrolite, and Vlchek.

Lots of SK goodiness on that one. 
Great lot for the price. Those Williams ratchets are nice. Is the selector just a screw and a pin type thing?
Way to set the stage.

Bluebolt sends out a pre YS award to 9 about 4 hours ago and where's 9? did he get mugged or is the item so heavy he needs to rent a moving truck?
Flatin: really nice looking box and cart and a few tools too. good job saving them.

I had full intentions of going out today... but overslept, lol. Maybe i'll run into something on my way to the car show in the morning...
Finally met the BlueBolt!! Hit me up later if you're not busy, otherwise let me know when you want to stop by tomorrow and I'll be around, got something for you.
x2!
Yes, thank god he showed up like 5 mins after I won those lots, he said there may have been a bidding war had he known about them.
SCORE!! Love the PP Cart and that Artisan box is CLEAN!
I think I have a SK-Tools wrench or two, I'll see if they're still around.

There were only like 5000 lots of mostly ****, ask BB. The auctioneer finally asked if there were any particular items that anyone would like to bid on in the many rooms, just so they could wrap up today. There is still 50-60% of the lots left but they were going for $2.50-5 per table near the end(5-10 lots per table)
before they let us pick. Worked out well for buyers but not so much for the Auction company or owners.Imagine what you missed...
Be sure to take pics of the car show. Pics coming soon after we unload and take a break.

Matt: we were just talking over on the Craftsman Block Grinder thread how those stands are worth almost as much as the grinders. nice find.
94: nice post a bit ago, but still not a peep about what WTF you bought. since BB posted a pre **** at 8 am some of us have been a little curious to say the least since we know what you usually are able to find. please enlighten if you have time.
