Thanks and it does a bit today. I thought I was good enough to most of it by myself but ended up getting some help setting the upper 2.
Does the pea coat fit you? I have my dad's from WWII but I am much bigger than him. And what are the initials to the left and the right? The JFK was a carrier, wasn't it? Funny, our dads were both mariners, but I went ground-pounder and you went zoomie!
So, I went deep into Smokeshow and Rileysan territory this AM, hitting a two tool sales and two estates sales. The first sale turned out to be a bust,sadly as it was the furthest away, but the next one was good, a mess of vintage stuff at 50% off marked prices. And I wished I got there yesterday! Here is what I picked up for $10
Highlights include P&C, Plomb, Williams and Herbrand wrenches, a Starrett punch holder, SK and an unmarked flex 1/4 spinners, Hinsdale 9/32 spinner and some envelopes of machine screws and nuts. Oh, what is that little box, you ask?
A partial Hinsdale 9/32 set.
And here is the metal box everything was in
P&C 1/2 socket box. Nothing that goes with it was in that mess, but no matter, I will have it filled in no time.
Next stop as another estate sale in the general neighborhood, but there was a line to get in at noon on the second day, so I passed. It didn't look that good.
Final stop was a tool sale, and while the guy had some very nice stuff and knew his tools, he was a bit pricey. But I still managed to find some things:
A Brown and Sharp 6" tri-square, complete Union 10-24 tap set (a size I use a bit of) and the smallest T&D set I have ever seen. Like size 1 and such. I don't know if I will ever use it, but even though it was a little bit pricy I figured what the heck, I will probably never see another one. I spent $20 for all of that.
Altogether, it was a nice day.

Fact. Everybody knows it. Best bases, too.I actually had ROTC scholarships from both the Navy and the Air Force, and my Navy Dad said "Go Air Force--they treat their people better."
Decent haul. Believe it or not, I've never been there on a Sunday. Or a Saturday or Friday. Only Thursdays. How many tables were being used in the back lot area? Or along the side behind the buildings?
During the clean out, I plucked this unassuming thermometer off of Dad's workshop wall without a second glance until this morning. When I went to hang it up in my own chilly garage, I flipped it over.
My Dad's Dad worked for the United Fruit Company in Baltimore and one of his jobs was checking temperatures of the banana shipments that came up from South & Central America. Dad used to describe the jar of mercury Grandpa kept at home from all the broken thermometers and how they used to play with it with their bare hands....!
Anyway, I can't know for sure that this particular thermometer came from my Grandpa or if Dad picked it up somewhere else along the way..but it will still bring back family memories hanging in my shop, the same way it probably did for him.

I don't know, but it's known for antiques and vintage stuff. All the antiques and vintage people from Collingwood (Fridays and Sundays) and Lambertville (Sundays) go to Columbus on Thursdays. There's a lot of other stuff on the lane behind the buildings and around the U, and inside the U, too, but not so much in the back lot.
Nice.
Thanks, I'll have to look for that podcast.

Helicopter visual for everyone else...

What are the nested pressed-steel era offset DBE's?
