The date code images you are using aren't quite accurate. 1954 does have a rocker on the bottom as well as a rounded diagonal line in the upper part as per your image.

That "Image" is from the collecting SO site, and I think the source was from SO documentation?

Pretty sure they are. Didn't see any marks on them though so not sure who made them. Next time I'm out I'll grab them and give them another look.

Yep, that's closer. So probably is 54.
A couple weeks ago I found a 18" Diamond thinking it was the biggest. Someone here told me they go up to 24". Today I found it which completes the lineup from 4" to 24"! (4" for reference). Please don't tell me they go to 36"!! It was $10:
Misc Bahco, SK, Klein:
SK Wayne and Diamond - $.75-$1/ea
Misc. Heat shrink gun was $3. Padlock is from Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific RR.
Several Chisels - Greenlee and a couple from Sweden - $3/ea:
Cans of R12 for $2.50/ea:
Interesting old iron hat rack??:
What king of vacuum tube is this? Transmitter?? Looks like it came out of Frankenstein's laboratory??

Hit a few sales today, actually did pretty well everywhere I went. Here's a few highlights. Found 3 sets of NOS Ford accessory wire wheel wheelcovers, the ones with the knockoffs are 13", have 2 sets of the Rotunda 15". Any idea what they're worth? At another stop, found the pair of giant Hella driving lights, they're more than 8-1/2" in diameter. Found a couple cans of GM PS fluid in metal cans, must be old, never saw that before. Found a bunch of vises, a lower end Wilton, a York 100, a basic Craftsman, a strange Heuer, and a hand vise. Bunch of other misc. small items, shop supplies and tools.

I was feeling good until I saw the diamond for $10. I paid $20 for a 15" a few weeks ago and was happy.
Woke up early this morning made it to the annual BSA sale. Very few tools, and I was one of the first in the tool room. Picked up this lot
Stopped home and unloaded the civic, made it to the auction right around the time the furniture was wrapping up. Ended with several box lots of hardware, light bulbs, and electrical items for under $30.
Then I picked up an 8' garage door complete with track and hangers for $22
Now I just need to figure out how and were to install it, maybe replace the panels? One possible location is not visable from the road, so maybe I will repair the panels it came with.

Pretty much struck out with yard sales today, but did stumble across a sale late in the day where I picked up a pair of Husky c clamps and a small pair of Channellock pliers for $5. Did fairly well at the thrifts today though, in one store I picked up a brand new pair of engineer's boots, brand new license plate frame, 2 compressor water traps (store manager called them "little tanks"), a heel dolly (store manager: "that thing"), and they threw in the milk crate to carry it all out with. Total cost: $29.60. Another thrift store sold me 3 Hawaiian shirts for $15 
(sorry, no pics of those.) Also picked up yet another compressor on CL on Thursday night. 20g Sears "4hp" model. This one actually works and came with a filter/regulator and 2 air hoses, $25. The motor is 15 amps, so realistically maybe 3hp.Seller also gave me a Campbell Hausfeld impact in new condition for $7.

Pretty baren day for me, but I did pick up this yellow toolbox, I think it is from a tractor kit, not sure.
It was filled with this
Pretty complete, missmatched 3/4 inch set,Plomb and Chrome Vandadian USA with a couple extensions, a T-bar and a Plomb ell wrench. Some misc. wrenches were in there too, along with a couble smaller Plomb sockets. The Plomb sockets are all prewar, but different years. I can't place the Crome V. sockets, but they look familiar. $40 for it.

Neither, and not a Boyt, either. And I have only seen a photo of a heavy canvas webbing version, unattributed, until today!
Here are the markings:
I have been collecting Signal Corps stuff for many years and I have never seen or heard of this make before. I love the name and location. Which prompted a quick search, and an interesting history.
>>> Per Wiki: “Vira Boarman Whitehouse (September 16, 1875 - April 11, 1957) was the owner of the Whitehouse Leather Company, a suffragette and early proponent of birth control. In 1921, she bought the Buchan-Murphy Manufacturing Company, a leather business, renamed it the Whitehouse Leather Products Company, Inc., and reorganized it with herself as president. She managed the company for eight years, reducing the work week from 48 hours to 44 hours, among other changes. She sold her leather company before the stock market crash of 1929.”
Looks to have been made in the summer of 1945, so quite late war.
The early war version was L-23-A. And the figure in a May 1944 French Army manual (they used all our Signal corps equipment), specified as an L-23-B, still looks to be leather. So I am surmising the L-23-C was introduced quite late. There are two extra tool loops, too. As you probably know, they’re all pretty scarce in general, and when they do show up, they’re usually Boyt (which also made a crapload of leather M1 Garand scabbards), Buckingham, or Klein, so I was thrilled. Rare is good. An apparent FOAK is even better!

The phone saved me twice on these. I knew they were for a lathe but no name on them so I Googled the 10-501 number on them and found out what they were and a price to shoot for so I could make a few bucks off of them.
Then the lady running the place couldn't give me a price because they were her son's and he was out of cell phone range. I tried anyways and after a bit got a hold of him. One of them is missing the hand wheel and jaws so got both for $30

The wood box is a Cleveland Twist Drill No. 46 Quick-Set of Adjustable Reamers

The label on the box has a date of “1-5-45” and “CODEWORD: PARLIAL” printed on it. Anyone know anything about that?

I slipped out this afternoon to visit my local Picker's place. One without a TV Show, without hype and also without high prices. Young guy making a living out of a small place finding and selling some nice antiques. And usually with good prices that can be easily negotiated.
First up is this nice heavy duty grinder stand. Tagged at $25 but knocked down to $20.
This is the overall rest of the lot of items found. Walton Company box from a pipe and stud extractor set. Contents long gone but I'm a sucker for a cool metal box. Only $5. A CM 1/4" drill kit with hip roof box. For $10 and to my surprise complete with drill that works, bits and assorted sander and wire brush attachments. I really liked the box and don't normally buy a ton of old power tools but to find a working complete set for that price it was a no brainer.
Next was an old toy cowboy pistol that needs work but it will go in my collection. and some license plates and two oil cans that normally sell for $3 each were thrown in for free because I paid tag price for some of the other items.
Walton Box close ups.
CM drill kit close up.

That is one hell of a drill dad had one i think my brother got it. When dad passed we took all his stuff laid it out and 3 of us chose what we wanted 1 item each time we went around. To make it honest if you picked first on the first round you picked last on the next round.
Rmalkow2, if that is what I think it is, that grinder stand is Craftsman. The top plate is for a block grinder and the base is actually a top plate for a 8 or 9"(?) Craftsman table saw. I'll post pics of the table saw top plate I have and let you see.

That looks like the same top and post used on the Craftsman stands, but I don't recognize the base.
EDIT: Nine got in before me. He's right about the base.
Mount a block grinder on one side and a tablesaw on the other and you'll have a multi use stand !

Thanks, the sign isn't in the best of shape but not bad either for the age. I have another one from Bendix/Besly but it is a pretty run of the mill one. I am always on the look out for tool advertising stuff like signs, boards, etc.
I will see about starting a thread for Tap&Die signs
