Sorry for the poor pictures. I picked up a Coleman 275 in the box. It's a little rough but the price was worth the packs of mantles down inside the box. I know this model gets a bad rap and is nicknamed the "turd" I might have passed on it but noticed it didnt have the frosted globe. I was hoping this is some ultra rare variant but I wont hold my breath. I also picked up a Disston saw vise. This one is much heavier and robust than the few others I've seen for sale. Disston experts please feel free to chime in with any info.
LS, can’t say I disagree with you on the sentiment about the Kromedge blades, they should get some use before they’re folded into knives. Good thing is I have so many worn out blades and Nicholson files for my buddy, it’ll take him a long time to get to these. I’m sure he won’t mind if a few of us throw them in our saws for a bit first. I actually need a new 10” chopsaw blade…

Thank you!
This was last weekend’s haul ($40). They need a little bit of cleaning/sharpening, but all are in pretty good condition. I have always wanted some old high-quality socket chisels.
- four socket chisels with leather strikers
- two mortising socket chisels (one with leather striker)
- oval shellac brush
- old Fairmont long pick auto body hammer with auto body dolly
- vintage jeweler's hand vise
- vintage C.S. Osborne & Co. hog ring pliers
- two antique spokeshaves (one with Stanley "T" trademark (1909 - 1912))

I'm living 'vicariously' through this great Garage Sale thread. Just a lot of good, or better stuff in here. Some items really take you back in time don't they? Meanwhile, I stopped going to garage and yard sales a few years ago because I'm desperately trying thin my garage hoard down.

And these crowfeet attachments are not listed that way in WWII manuals. I have Bonney, Plomb, and few others, and I think they all have a PWA part number. I'll circle back on this with more later.
Not sure what you mean by curved, but all of the box end crowfeet I have are offset like that. Some have two drive openings so the attachment can be used at two different angles

Eclectic mix at the flea (Lugz 2021_54) today.
I don't normally pick up kids' lunchboxes but I couldn't resist this one. There's a dog chasing a butterfly on the other side of the barnyard scene (1971 Thermos).
I'm not familiar with the periscope. I have a few off of tanks and they're much heavier and OD green. Something for the grandsons to play with.
That pistol grip thing is a ratcheting screwdriver. Looked deep and hard for other bits in the same box with no luck. Marked "PAT. NO. 962057" on the composite handle, which does not compute. That's way too early for this thing, which looks 1950's to me, so it's probably either a foreign patent (like British Hong Kong) or maybe a TM s/n instead.
The little 1/4-inch drive offset handle next to it is a Blackhawk 1521. The one in my early set is longer with longer knurling, so I will have to figure this out. EDIT: It's chopped. Well done, but chopped.
The sheath is homemade. It has an inner sheath of pot metal sewn in. It had a piece of **** knife inside, which I put back on the table. Guys looks at me, like WTF? I said, "I only wanted the sheath." Haha. It should a filet knife I have without a sheath.
And last but not least, a Williams S115 1/2-inch drive extension with a rotating grip.

First thing I hit googling the patent number on that little pistol grip ratcheting bits screwdriver is a piece on Gerald Van Wyngarden's "Progress is Fine but..." vintage tools blogspot from 2014 wondering the same things as me, linked here. 
Based on the comments, I guess it was part of a set that either came in a pouch or deluxe wood box. Neither Gerald or his followers located the patent, but like me, all seem to be guessing British Hong Kong.
It's pot metal and plastic, but I kinda like it.

I don’t think either of those spokeshaves are actually Stanley. The one looks like a Seymour Smith, and the other a Goodell Pratt #36, but many people copied it. Some are marked in tiny font on the nut. Crappy pic in catalog

Here is my haul for today. Took a day off to extend the weekend, got a bit of a later start than planned, hit first sale 15 mins up the road at 845 instead of 800, but its all good. Couple of fun grabs at the first. He had four different Coleman lanterns, I apparently wisely passed on the turd, (thanks after the fact MrWonderful), but grabbed the only complete one, and it does pump up. There were other older ones, but all missing pieces, and I didn't want to step on Outlaw's turf by buying older ones. Also got a nearly full gallon of fuel. May be looking for hints on best site for clean up instructions later. I also grabbed an EC Stearns scraper, a double beamed marking gauge, a 12" deep fret saw, and a Forstner bit.
The second sale was an estate sale, and they were moving stuff out. Grampa had died, and they wanted the house empty, so good prices were flowing. All of the right side of the photo was scored for $10, he only wanted $8, but I felt bad stealing that stuff. I suspected, and it was confirmed during checkout, that the guy had dabbled in watch and clock repair, and bought a bunch of stuff 2nd hand a few decades back. Specifically, the rightmost tools all seem to be clock / watch repair focused. Lower right is a ratcheting winder, they guessed mainsprings, above that is a Waltham mainspring gauge, measure from 35/10 mm down to 1/100 mm by spinning the snail, and putting your spring in the gap. I think the bits and bobs in the box are some type of clamping system, will be poking around Otto Frei and other catalogs see if I can turn something up. The long skinny thing crossways is a homemade tool, guessing for holding a round shaft. Other goodies included several pairs of needle nose, 1x Spain, 1x England, 1x unmarked, couple of chisels that I don't think he used for wood working (suede type cover on the one Anvil marked, probably Riverside Tools, **** end beat almost closed), the other a long C Craftsman. A stack of small to tiny clamps, one rawhide mallet and what I suspect may be a user made hammer, as the head screws off, and the cushion on the handle is sort of riveted in place. One oddball piece might be part of a chainsaw sharpening rig, but it has a few adjustments that could be useful for gripping small things. Couple of small empty boxes for storage in the shop, Also a 1/4" spinner in amber, 4 big lobes, 4 small on the handle, and only a 6 or 9 in the label panel. Couple of tiny screwdrivers including a wood handled Simanco, a Bridgeport, and what appears to be a homemade Phillips #2 on a tiny handle and short shaft. The box of wire will get added to the repair stash.

Yesterday's sale was a farm way out in the boonies but looked promising. It had an old propeller I was curious about in the ad, but it was missing from the sale... Lots of rusty stuff--and I mean deeply pitted rusty tools--that I just couldn't bring myself to deal with. They had quite an arsenal for sale, too, which accounted for most of the interested buyers. It is Texas, after all--and now any whacko can carry without a license.
Anyway, I think I spent more in gas than I did on tools. $10 for everything in the photo.

Went to look at some "old hand planes" from a guy I bought some woodworking machines from 4-5 years ago. He is moving to Utah next year. The planes were nothing special and really rusty. He had some original Jorgensen wood clamps and a Morgan 28A 10" quick release woodworking vise he didn't want to move. Said to make him an offer. I broke the $80 offer down in my mind as $20 for the 5-gallon bucket of mostly Stanley planes, $20 for the Jorgensen clamps and $40 for the Morgan vise. He said they were mine. We'll see how the planes clean up. There is my first Shelton block plane missing most of the parts in the lower front of the planes pic. And above it is a complete block plane I don't recognize. I'll post them in the plane thread in the Vintage forum. 
I’ve got some kind of relative to that ratchet thing, Lugz. Mine has a brand but no patent. No lid, either, which probably has more info.
UPDATE:
Here’s one at Jake’s flea today with the patent number

My score today. $16 total. The ratchet set is a Speed Master, missing two sockets, but worth $3 to me.
Any info on Speed Master? Not run into that name before.
The other big score are the two waterstones. I'll have to find out what they are.
The cutters are Boenfu tools. No country of origin, but they look to be decent quality, and sharp. Also bought some other stuff, but nothing else too interesting.
They did have a Wilton vise, ~4" the art deco-ish one. But it had been broke and welded back together and they wanted $42 for it. I passed. Mostly cause my wife was with me. But if its still there on half price day, maybe?

On my way to and from the doctors today, I made a few stops. OK, the last one was a bit of a long way home, but that is how it goes sometimes with this hobby.
The first stop, a woodworking millwright, turned out to be a bust, and at the second stop, I only found the book on upholstery and the General jeweler's screwdriver. The third stop might be a go back tomorrow, as she had a whole garage to go through, although I didn't have the time I did find the Kromedge backsaw. The two Craftsman C-clamps and the kindjal can from an estate sale right around the corner from my house, while the Stanly Yankee PH2 came on my way to the last stop, where I picked up the Colombian 503 and these booklets from an aero correspondence course.
These are from about 1940, and I was able to get the first 10, but looking around online there are at least 58 in the whole course. Anyway, the vise set me back $40 and I paid about $15 altogether for the rest.
Here's some more pics of the kindjal:
My guess is it is your basic tourist version from a real Mideastern bazaar, probably about 1960ish. No import country stamp and the chasing is real and fairly well done, but the blade is certainly nothing special, nor is the workmanship on the sheath.
EDIT; used the wrong word for an Arabic knife. The correct word is Jambiya. Kindjal is from southern Russia.

Wow lots of good stuff for the day before a holiday W/E!
Mr W - the 275 is actually a decent lantern if lit properly. They can be exciting if not... On the globe, I'd expect the clear one is a replacement - the Frosted or "Picket fence" globes are what is desired. Hard to find these days...
They do get a lot of teasing about being the "turd" - Coleman's WORST color choice...

Got to today's sale a little late and all the tools were gone except offshore items. In a cheesey thin-gage little toolbox I found this Ford padlock and its two keys.
Paid $1. They're going for $40-$90 on epray. What, oh what will I do??

I stopped by an early morning garage sale and picked up a small handful. Mini torx drivers, pocket protector, hitch cover, vintage ashtray, and (the good part) a small plomb driver. Guy had a garage full of toolboxes, but I couldn’t talk my way in to look. He says he’ll call me when he’s ready to thin it out.

I was going to say that padlock, at least the keys, look fairly modern. I had a whole collection of old Ford padlocks by Best, from an estate sale. Part of the fun was going through every single key, there were a lot of them, and matching to the locks. Pretty sure I kept one of the nicer ones.
$32 at Jake’s this morning. $30 to Bob the Toolman. We had a good running conversation while I spelunked in his shed. It’s more than either of us really thought the tools were worth (he actually said “is that too much?” and tossed in an extra wrench), but whatever. The $2 was for the larger ballpein, which I am expecting to be an Atha (it is). The smaller is a Standard.
Most of the small DOEs are B-shield Bonney, larger are CV. Actually, everything on the right half is Bonney. The riveting hammer is Warner’s & Noble ca1849-1884. Snap-on F-10 from 1929, and an SO 1/2hex wrench. Plvmb 1375 soft-face hammer.

Weak showing around here today, three planned, only one had anything, three too's - one had a free box I picked through....
$2 got me an old plvmb, a 5/16 Bonny, SK Extension, Chapman Bits and ratchet and an Xcelite that sure looks near identical. The Sliding Tee is Mechanicraft.
The rest was from the free bin. 4 of 6 of the sockets are USA metric.

According to Ford Garage, in a 1999 article, "'Best' brand locks are typically used by large corporations, manufacturers, government agencies, etc., as part of a comprehensive enterprise-wide lock and key management system." Commenting on a Ford stamped 'Best' brand padlock, it says: "These are industrial padlocks and are not sold retail. If you find one of these, it was stolen from Ford."
The article goes on to identify the lock I posted as a 'Hurd' brand lock and this type was issued with new Ford pickup trucks in the late 1980's for the cable lock on the under-bed spare tire.
I don't know if Hurd is still in business. The trail led to Hurd being a subsidiary of the Avis Industrial Corporation, but Hurd is not mentioned on the Avis website.
JimDon mentioned above that one came on his Ford Bronco--what year is your vehicle, Jim?
Has anyone bought a new Ford truck in the last 10 years that had a lock on the spare tire?

Oh I was pretty much convinced they were from one of the Ford plants. They may have been marked, can’t remember. It was an old carry box full.
It was a 1987 full size bronco, Eddie Bauer edition. My lock also had the rubber bumper in the hasp, but it finally wore off just before the truck went to a yard. The rubber kept the hasp from rattling around and making noise. I kept the swing out tire carrier with the hope of needing it some day. Jimdon
It's been sluggish the last couple weeks but picked up a few items. CM ratchet was $.25, SK was $1, Titanic history book was $1, Propane was free and the spray on electrician's tape was $1.
Baby Shop Vac $5 and little camp stove (Optimus- Sweden) was also $5.
This Pioneer receiver from the 70's was $60 and looks and sounds perfect.

Dave you stole that Optimus! which model, did the sticker survive?
I got really lucky this morning. The first stop was met with a locked gate (i.e. wait until 8:00 a.m.) and lots of people there, including a few I knew were tool people as well. When the gate opened, several of us went for the garage. For some reason, the others went for the power tools area, and I was the only one combing through the hand tools and work bench drawers. I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but my heart started beating loudly when I uncovered the vintage tools (there was a lot of junk too). I started to feel like I was both hyper-ventilating and trying to hold it in, so that no one else would hear me. I worked as quietly/quickly as possible so as not to alert the others to my haul or excitement. The sellers had a lot of volume to move, as they had already sold the house and needed to clear everything out ASAP. Somehow, I exited before others starting crowding “my space”. First-stop - $40:

My second stop was equally exciting. The proprietor said that the early tool crowd were mostly into his motorcycle shop/tools, so the vintage hand tools were relatively untouched. I paid up a little more for this group, but I couldn’t stop myself. The adrenaline was still pumping. $50

Nice! the 111 predated the 111B which was white gas. the 111 is duel fuel so white gas/canp fuel or kerosene. I'd say that was mid 50's production started in 53 for the 111 for just a few years.

This time of year I try to concentrate on hitting privately run sales rather the professional estate sales due to the typically lower pricing. That being said yesterday I hit a promising looking sale like 30 minutes away that started at 8:00 am......DUD ! ughhh. Well at least I was on the road early for the 9:00 am start sales. On the way back went to a family run estate sale that ended up being another dud. Now I was bummed and started heading back to my city about 20 minutes away. Since it was only like a mile from my house I decided for my third and final stop to stop at a sale that basically mentioned tools in passing in their ad on CL and the local paper...what the hell since it was so close. Got there about 20 minutes after opening and it was very quiet, in fact for whatever reason yesterday was very quiet traffic wise. Anyways spied a table with good tools as well as lower grade brands in the seldom used tools, never would have expected the sale to have good tools but you just never know. So ended up the day on a high with the following.
Sunex hose pliers and Craftsman USA metric ratcheting wrenches $15
Snap-On and Cornwell SAE swivel sockets, Snap-On 1/2 drive deep SAE impact sockets, Matco 3/8 drive deep metric socket set, Snap-On Torx sockets.
Snap-On 1/2 drive 6 point deep metric impact sockets, Snap-On 1/2 drive 6 point short metric impact sockets, Snap-On 1/2 drive 12 point short metric impact sockets. $70 for all the sockets
