5$ craftsman tool box fits perfect in the back of the truck.

 

[Lump]

Well, I've been lurking this year, never got around to posting pix of lots of hauls made this year. Sorry. But I've sure enjoyed seeing the fabulous treasures all you guys have found. Will someone alert me to the 2016 Garage Sale thread when it is started, please?

PS. Merry Christmas, and happy wishes for ALL the holidays, to everyone on Garage Journal. You guys are awesome.

Lots of good finds this past week, most outstanding to me is the cabinet Outlaw found. That is one seriously nice piece, I'm in total awe. While on my 10k post break, I sent word through Merc how much YOU **** for that find but he geeked up the post and it went right over your heads.

Major nice find Outlaw, congrats!

On Christmas vacation, visiting in-laws in Orrstown, PA. My son and I ran my FIL to a doctor's appointment and had time to kill until the female half of the clan gets back from shopping.

Hmmm, what to do...? Oh, look, an old flea market!

Mostly junk, but we found a few tools for $20.



Disston "PHILA" hand saw. Didn't notice until I got it out into the light that the handle is cracked and missing a screw.

Starrett articulating tool stand, non-magnetic mount. Lots of booms.



Proto 8" adjustable wrench
Crescent L-28 slip joint pliers
CeeTee slip joint pliers
Unmarked pliers, very rusty. Say "Drop forged steel" on the hand grips
Auto-Kit wrenches, 3/4" x 7/8" & 5/16" x 7/16"
Two No 7 reamers from the CTD Company



Klein OX3 Phillips screwdriver

Bonney D14 7/16" 12-pt socket
Hinsdale H-12-R 1/2" ratchet

Also picked up at local flea mkt today (12/24/15) a 9 inch long by 2 inch wide with corrugated bottom woodworking plane.

Handle was reglued, kind of crusty and I can't find any pat'd dates or markings so far other than Stanley on Lever Cap.

Here is what it looks like, as found.

Mike,

Try taking the Stanley top plate of and looking on the blade itself for maker's marks.

BlueBomber:

Will do on checking the blade.

Dimensions suggest it should be a #4 but need to clean it up to be sure.

Mike,

Look over the thickness of the blade - it appears to be thicker than a Stanley. Also, check the shape of the lateral lever. Here's a picture showing the different shapes of the lateral lever for four different manufacturers. This picture was created by the late Walt Quadrato of Brass City records in CT, a well-respected tool dealer.





Looking at your plane and comparing it to those in the picture, it appears that your plane was made by Union Tool Co., and their blades were somewhat thicker than those of Stanley, and are more desirable.

Call me if you have any questions.

Blue Frog:

You are right, as I took some additional pictures and it looks like a Union that somehow picked up a Stanley Lever Cap.

Thanks for info and Merry Christmas to All!!!

BlueBomber and Blue Frog:

Had a little time and so cleaned up the 9" L by 2" W hand plane this afternoon. The plane blade once cleaned, showed a marking for McIntosh & Heather Cleveland.

McIntosh & Heather was hardware store in Cleveland and so it's felt these hand planes were made by other Mfg's for them. No other markings found anywhere else on the plane with exception of the Stanley on lever cap.

So, guess it could be a McIntosh & Heather that just happened to get a replacement Stanley lever cap replacement. On other hand, maybe the McIntosh & Heather blades were also a donor from another hand plane. Haven't yet found another 9" by 2" McIntosh & Heather to compare.

Still a bit of a mystery, I guess.

Mike

 

[Outlawmws]

Mike, More likely is that the blade was replaced and was "aftermarket" from M & H.

Guess for now I'll refer to it as the "Frankenstein plane", given the possible replacement parts it has "picked up" over the years!!!

Mike,

Consider it made by Union for McIntosh & Heather, and someone later replaced the lever cap with one made by Stanley. I've heard of several situations where a major tool manufacturer made tools for someone else - recall Wilton and Snap-on?

Though you might not be able to flip it for much, you have a good tool there.

BTW, my package came today and I must show the ontents here on GJ.

Commonly called a "frankenplane."

Nice find Exeter.
These may be my final Craig's snags of the year.
I've been on a bandsaw kick. Found this little guy. Not the most extreme saw, but lots of cast metal cool. And the color, Nine? Needs a motor (I have extras), tires (have old ones I'll cut and glue), so really just a blade.

 

[Squashfest81]

The dude offered up this "machinist tool chest." Paid $25 for the box and little Shopmaster bandsaw. Its a cool old box. Can't make out all the writing, but the side says something about Irish Flax. Any experts on old Flax boxes? Waiting for Outlaw to chime in...

And the contents of every old box pulled from a basement.

Nice bandsaw, Squash! Love the lettering on side.

Thanks, it's got a funky look. Just had to save her.

Hmmm, No clue on this one. What size is it? I suspect being a "machinist box" is a second life for this one (at least)

What are the drawer constriction details? and can you get shots of the inside?

I suspect this was made, at least partly, from old scraps of packing crates. those sides might have been from an old crate and re-purposed for this. A lot of that went on, particularly during the depression when new materials would have been an extravagance...

 

[Squashfest81]

I'm thinking "machinist box" was not it's intended purpose. It's 21 wide, 14 tall and deep.
Drawer construction is basic box joint. Looks machine done, so not ancient. Cheaper woods.

Writing on the drawers. I need to decipher. Branding on the side.


Possibly a store piece. Like ship in and display to sell the goods?
Good thoughts Outlaw.
