That is a lot of Williams goodness

Was at Discount Tire to swap out a wheel/tire b/c they scratched up my rim when removing the stick on weights. They're sending it out to have the barrel refinished. Checked estatesales dot net and came up with one less than 2 miles away. I was 15 min early, but they were already open.
Started grabbing a few things that were interesting, needed or just wanted. I'm just a home owner so not a lot of mechanical work, but I picked up all of the CM -V- DBE that I could find. The smallest one is metric which is strange b/c everything else in the garage was SAE.
I missed the boxed hitch set until the very end. But I grabbed it. It looks complete: ball on the extension, two safety chains, another ball w/plasitc cover, and a locking hitch pin with both keys!
I was 1/2 off day.....so a total of $46 and some change for everything.
Stanley Defiant level (a little dirty and the wood looks dry, but the vial/bubble look good)
2x ball peens: one CM (new) one Plumb
Adjustable pin spanner?
Tiny Stanley plane
Carbide masonary bits, new
Hole punch - nicely made
Proto adjustable pliers
4 x Stanley chisels
1 x Powercraft chisel
Jacobs chuck key
2 x small flatheads
SS foreceps
2 x nail sets
Small CM needle nose vise grips
Roll of string
Land Rover hitch kit
Any ideas on the two gauges?

Took one last trip back the the neighborhood estate sale 30 minutes before closing, today on 1/2 off day. I did not expect to see anything useful left but did manage to find a few more goodies.
5 more cans of spray paint, 5 quarts of unopened gear lube, a small connect 4 game, full bottle of leather cleaner, a die cast model of the Mustang III concept car, a can of GM Lubriplate Lube, a Craftsman ratcheting wrench and most of a Craftsman 3/8 drive socket set + 3 extra deep well sockets. The ratchet is missing but most of the sockets are there. They were just dirty and a couple with surface rust so they got passed over all weekend.($2.50)
Also got (not pictured) 2 angle iron bed rails. The whole lot for $21.50.

Ha! It turned out to be a pretty good sale for me and I love it when I don't have to spend a lot of gas money getting there. You picked up some good stuff. I looked at some of it but did not have an immediate use so its cool you were able to get all that.

Found a 15 day old ad on CL for tools. Met with the guy today. Ends up being my dad's buddy from way back. I didn't need anything I bought but he had good tools with good pricing I thought and for some reason I have to buy tools if I think they are a good deal 
. I ended up with some goodies but im pretty sure fellow member eborcim beat me to all the good stuff. Anyway bought this for $80, and on the way home I got a working shop vac from the curb.
SO impact driver, Mac 24in adj, matco screwdriver, coil spring compressor, matco drop light, SO punch holder, HF puller

52Ford, if the jaws are the wide model, I'll take a jaw, knurl and spring for an 8"! Lets see.. .30 +.12 + .05; Comes to .47c + what do you think shipping is?
Sorry, they do not look to be wide but they are for 8". This was the entire contents of the box. 5-8" jaws, 1-4" jaw, 1-12" knurl and 1-6"knurl. No pins or springs. And the other piece...I am slightly clueless.
I did not get any information on the original owner but this was painted on top.

With what I found in my box I was definitely thinking plumbing repair in some sort of factory setting.

All that stuff is cool and the box is straight off a Roadrunner/ coyote cartoon. Nice!Been awhile sense I've had the time to stop by a yard sale, but I seen one on the way home from work yesterday way out on a dirt road, and figured why not. I stopped by, and didn't see much accept for this box of goodies. I asked what they wanted for it, and the guy said "Oh, $10 bucks". Already knowing I was going to buy it at this point, I went ahead and asked if he'd take $5 just because lol. He said sure, than I realized I only had 4 one dollar bills in my wallet aside from a $50 and he said the $4 bucks was fine. Not a bad score for the weekend.

Few more saves this Sunday. Always fun picking up classic USA tools!
pic 1: all for $7
a T-handle and offset socket wrench made by Walden-Worcester
Craftsman USA orange stubby screwdriver
pics 2-4: all for $8
short "206" wrench
small tool marked "Potomac Valley Brick"
Proto 5449D dog-leg handle female-drive ratchet, military issue
The 5449D I've been looking for one for a while! Paid $5 at the local flea market for it, money well spent!
The two mysteries to me are the 206 wrench and the Potomac Valley Brick tool. I would like to know what they were originally for. The 206 wrench, I found one listing online saying that it was an adjustment wrench for antique sewing machine trundle setups, but that's not confirmed. Nothing known on the Brick tool. ??? Any help is appreciated.

If you'd like I can take a picture with my feet in a bucket of shiny chrome sockets. That way you can get your *********** and tool fetish fix all in one picture

Thanks, that mental image will replace the white whale in my nightmares.
Love your negotiation tactics Filson
Haha, I always do that kinda thing. Split my $ up between a few pockets and my wallet. Get them down the price I want than be all "oh damn, I'm a few bucks shy." Lol
Lol, I'm going to clean it up a little and find some sort of use for it, it's pretty cool
I managed to sneak off to the flea market on Sunday for an hour and a half to score this booty. I paid serious coin for the creeper because the chinese one I bought broke the 1st time I used it so I'd decided if I saw cool old one I would grab it. The Record chain wrench and the bench top clamp weren't a deal but I thought they'd go good in my record collection ( ; I also was thinking I may be able to convert the clamp into a key slot clamp fairly easily which is something I do want.
Snap-On Creeper $40
Record Bench Top Clamp $10
Record Chain Wrench $7

The Brick tool is called a line pin. You drive it into existing masonry then attach your line to it, run your line to another pin, batter board , corner board or line block. It establishes your courses.

I was sniffing around at one of our local thrift stores, and saw a little red box sitting on a shelf. I have had some machinist training, so anything in a Starrett box is probably good.
What I found was one of the last word indicators. The picture shown is missing a few pieces, but a couple of days after I bought it, they found the other pieces and let me have them.
Not too bad for $8.

Many thanks! Guess it will have to go in the toolbox - I don't know how to do brickwork, but I can always learn in the future!

Brick work is easy. Slap some mud on the brick and stack.
Now, making it look pretty and clean - that's a different story.

Good finds this week everybody!
WNYflyer, that K.R. Wilson catalog is awesome, we need more pictures! I think the price may have been worth it. I've been catalog shopping myself and paid up for a couple this weekend. Nice Williams ratchet too. LMK if you happen to be interested in selling...
Duct Tape Man, nice flea market find on the Proto!

Bonney Tools catalog from 1950
and
Trimo Ferguson Body Tools 1930!
I bet some guys would go nuts over this one.

They look about how one would expect 84 and 64 year old catalogs to look.
Worked out a price both for $15.
Bought them from a dealer, he had the body tool catalog at $15 a while back but I held off due to the price. I've been on the hunt for old catalogs because I enjoy them and looked Saturday to see if that one was still there. The Bonney catalog wasn't there before but appeared now, priced at $4. I told him if he hadn't rescued these who knows where they would have wound up.

My dad has been pounding fenders for over 50 years and I would bet good money he has had his hands on one of those books at one time or other. He has some REALLY old lead working pieces in his vault.
I'd be interested in seeing some of the different style of hammers and dollies they offered. The metal back then was thick, so I'm guessing the tools were on the beefier side to accomodate. Thanks for sharing!!

Can you take a better pic of that streamline page so i can print it and use it as a checklist? My favorite wrenches.
Picked up an old craftsman belt and disc sander at an estate sale for $25 with motor. Using the owwm site, I was able to date it to around 1939. It's got a cool skf bearing decal. I crated it up over the weekend and now it's waiting for me to move into a bigger shop so it can be restored and used.

What's most exciting to me is finding out about tools I didn't know existed. Apparently Bonney made a 3/4" drive speeder bar! I never heard of such a thing and now I want one!
They sure are beauties.
I'm thinking maybe doing a thread on the catalog with a bunch of thumbnails since there aren't that many pages and they sure didn't offer a large selection of tools at the time. Looks like very few tools were used for many purposes.
Rick, sorry I'm not a very good photographer, I tried to get all the part numbers of the open ends in the first two pics and the combos in the third & fourth pics.
