[RagTopTA]

Yes sir, I pretty much had to have it when I saw it. Wish I could find out some info on when they were made. who is an Indestro collector that might have catalogs? Any idea?

 

[3baygarage]

Four Cycle like to talk Indestro. He seems to have fallen off the face of the Earth.

 

[RagTopTA]

oh Ill try and find him them! thanks for the tip. I have been looking at all the Indestro stuff I have and I really like the Super stuff. The indestro Super ratchets are def my fav right now. Need to find a 3/8 thought they seem to be nowhere.

Lugz, that little clamp on vise may be a Bonney. Any markings on it?

 

[Outlawmws]

That's a cool find RT!

Thanks Outlaw!! now to find the matching clamp on vise I have seen pics of : )

If you're referring to the Bonney Champion line of vises, I found one with 3" jaws a month or so ago. They had an inverted V-stock screw guard, and mine is branded with the antique era trademark. You can see it here.

This one is tiny (1-1/2" jaws), has an open screw, and no markings of any kind as far as I can tell. It's de-rusting right now. I'll check again later this week and post photos.

Yea, the one with the exposed screw. Pics of a similar Bonney vise I recently found here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6776330&highlight=Bonney#post6776330
Mine has the model # 02-1/2 on the side of the lower clamp part.

Thanks for the link. I will do a comparison after I clean it up later this week and look for a marking in the same place. (I'm TDY through Friday.) How did you identify yours as a Bonney? Is it also marked with a Bonney trademark? If you did a visual, what reference (catalog, etc) do you have that shows Bonney made clamp-on vises in this so-called "I-Beam" style?

Lugz, found this on Ebay.

Went to pick up some milk this morning and found some guys cleaning out a house down the street from me. The driveway was full of stuff as well as a side parking area.

I stop and asked what was going on and the head clean up guy told me that they were hired by the bank to clear the house out. Apparently it was a bank foreclosure and the people just left a **** load of stuff there when they moved out.

The head guy said I could take whatever I wanted for free cause it was going to the dump. So I did and this is the best stuff I could find in all the **** there.

1) Tall hand truck...just needs a couple tires.
2) Long crow bar...nice old green paint still on it
3) Small jack...works perfectly
4) 4' aluminum ladder....needs just a minor repair to the shelf
5) Old Bell Telephone Service tire chock.... w/original yellow paint
6) Full roll of 3' tall plastic fencing...that's for the wife's garden
7) Old plant stand....that's for the wife's garden
8) Aluminum lamp shade...going to use it somewhere in the shop
9) Chunk of steel girder...
10) New stainless flex pipe w/fittings
11) Two new 3/4" brass compression fittings

 

[Swingpress]

Here is a recent acquisition. I didn't even know these existed!?

Did a little horse trading the same day for this. Case 3 FINN SSP razor tested.

Got this...

And "rediscovered" this! (It's amazing what is buried in this basement!)

Holy **** a GS hatchet. That's one of the best finds I have seen lately.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Lugz, found this on Ebay.

This page has mine.

I found them in the 1914 (No. 18) Bonney Catalog. They are called "Standard" vises, for "household and amateur use", lower priced than the Champion class, but made with "the same care and attention to fit and finish as our more expensive lines." Iron body, steel screw and clamp screw. Baked black enamel finish. I'll be eager to inspect mine closer now! Thanks for the tip. It would be nice to discover that I now have one of each (Champion and Standard.)

 

[Swingpress]

Holy **** a GS hatchet. That's one of the best finds I have seen lately.

I still have the leather cover for it that has the logo. It's somewhere around here in this damn mess! I remember putting leather conditioner on it and I set it down.......somewhere.....

 

[3baygarage]

What might that collection be Swing?

 

[NJ Marty]

Got some good ones over the weekend. Finally got a C1 in lovely house paint red and the largest Plomb ratchet I have ever come across.
Also A 1948 Coleman lamp. Vise was $45 Plomb $15 and Coleman $10.

Ive been hoping to find a GS hatchet and have been looking for 10+ years and no luck yet. Again great score.

 

[Swingpress]

....

 

[Private Lugnutz]

...and the largest Plomb ratchet I have ever come across.

As Jerry Garcia sang, "Bertha don'tcha come around here, anymore."

 

[Outlawmws]

Marty, is the Ratchet a 1"? or 3/4"?

and a Coleman lamp WITH the globe! Nice find! all you need now is the shade! What Model No.?

I didn't even know the Girl Scouts were issued hatchets!

 

[Swingpress]

Watchmakers repair set. Probably has over 500 crystals and just as many stems, staffs, springs, jewels, etc. tons of Elgin, Aero, V.T.F., and even a few breitling parts (though I picked those out and tucked them away in the safe).

Here is better view. I still have 4 more chests with stacking drawers that aren't pictured but you can get the idea of what I'm trying to sort through. Btw: please forgive the mess, I just threw it up on my sorting bench.

It was just a right place right time thing. Though, I didn't think it could be that rare? Lol normally when I think I have something special I get it home and find 10k more on eBay for less than I gave. That's just my luck! Thank you for the kind words.

 

[NJ Marty]

The Plomb is 3/4" and the lamp came with a shade That I am sure is not original.

 

[Private Lugnutz]

The Plomb is 3/4".

Oops. Sang too soon.

 

[Outlawmws]

Don't be so sure on the shade. I'm no expert, but that could be the original shade for that...

I have a partial 152, but missing both globe and shade, and some parts to hold them...

Do some research, or try asking on Coleman Collectors forum...

 

[LawnBoy-5247]

Just did a quick search that appears to be the original shade

The Coleman table lamp is very cool. Never seen anything like it.

Forgot to post up these two instruments that I got for a song...

Ruger .17 HMR that doesn't look like it has been shot.

Remington 20ga with a spare rifled barrel, also doesn't look like it has been shot... lol

I keep telling myself I'm going to go to the range one of these days...

 

[RagTopTA]

So I had a couple nights comped stay at the big casino a little ways from here. Loaded up and went and had some fun for a couple of days. Actully won $980 as son as I got there. So, I stopped gambling and went and ran around eating new places and exploronig pawn and antique shops. Found some Indestro wrenches, a Gellman Adjustable, and I think a Barcolo wrench thats not marked. In looking around the shops I found an old FIRESTONE bicycle! Pretty neat but also $1750 , I did not bring it home.

Those are definitely "you ****" prices! I paid $60 for my 3/4" drive Plomb Ratchet.

Speaking of Plomb ratchets, I finally acquired a Plomb "Big Bertha" 1" drive ratchet a couple of weeks ago. I got the 5849 ratchet, a 5884 sliding T-bar driver, 6 Plomb sockets, and a Truth 1" ratchet head for $90.

Nice Rem! Is that an 1100 LT-20? Is it 2-3/4 or 3” chamber?
I’d sure like to know the lyrics to that song...maybe “you ****!”

Might be a "combination tool" for military ordnance for a weapon. This is typical for something that would be carried for weapon maintenance. Google the number and see what comes up. Could be an FSN.

Thanks ttpete.......Looks like you nailed it.....I googled the number and I got a lot of hits saying it is a M60 machine gun wrench!!!

Guess now I have to go and delete my "what is it" thread
