Rags,
Photo of one of snapmom's WWII-era Packard/Rolls Royce Merlin aircraft toolkits with the AT-8004 wrench in its pocket linked here.
Man thats really cool! So this was from a tool kit for a ww2 plane then? I appreciate the research you guys are capable of. Never been around a more knowledgeable group of folks. Makes this thread so awesome to be part of! When you find something you have no clue about... Just stick around a few.... Someone will know or find out ; )

The Merlin aircraft engine was designed by Rolls-Royce and powered many of the significant British fighters and bombers of World War II. Most of the Packard-built Merlins powered P-51 Mustangs. It was a 1,650 cubic inch V-12 liquid cooled engine. These produced between 1,280 and 1,315 horsepower for takeoff.

It was another stunning Indian Summer day here on the right coast, 55*F at dawn, and 65*F by the time I left the flea market with this small haul (Lugz 2021_70) and a spicy (picked 'the 3 Alarm', just shy of 'the 3rd Degree' and 'the 9-1-1') mangoneada.

20211111_122911.jpg

It would've been a great day just because it was Veterans' Day and the guitars-and-amps vendor playing a ukulele this morning changed the line in the song he was singing to, "Hey, it's Art Carney" when I walked past, but I found a vintage 1980 World Series pennant for the wall in my son's new digs in Sea Bright, and check out the cast-in marking on the base of the magnifier-and-roachclips "vise". o_O

I know y'all're gonna say I'm apparently starting a cornhusker collection, so I might as well point that out right away. :lol:
Source of a neat story, too. This woman my age dressed in coveralls, covered in tattoos, with striking reggae hair was working on a painting on the tailgate of her truck with her back to me. By the looks of the junk they were peddling, they probably do house close-outs. Her boyfriend was on a chair Jethro Clampett style on top of some junk in the bed of the truck. I got his attention. "Shadow," he said to the woman, "how much do you want for the boot hook." She turned around. "The what? That's a corn shucker," she said. I told her I was impressed and she said she grew up on a farm!

The "S" wrench is an early Williams and I think I need the auto-kit wrench for an Indestro set I am trying to build one at a time.

Last but not least is the Imperial interchangable knife set and the partial wartime (all "E" code) Snappy midget (1/4-drive) set

I don't like you anymore. (kidding of course). I can't find any "E" stuff without going to the auction site and getting raked over the coals. I've got 1 socket and the 2" extension in my Midget case and I've been trying to fill it for 6 or 7 months now. I have a 9/64 T handle that a member here donated to me so I could trade for a 1/4" T handle if I ever find a taker.

Seriously though, is there a flea market every day where you live?

This is the first wartime set I have found in a few years and that one was 9/32-drive, which I still have, and it was a few years before that I found my first "E" 1/4-drive set, which now resides inside a GMTK in Arizona, so if it's any consolation, I haven't run into it that often in the wild, either. I took a chance on it, actually. The guy wouldn't come off his price. I told him what the range was retail (ePrey, etc) depending on condition and completeness, pointed out what was missing, and let him think about it as I walked around. I was prepared to be okay if it was gone, but happy it was still there when I came back and he took my offer.

Thursday through Sunday. Used to be Wednesday, too, but that one got sold for a huge condominium complex that is now in some kind of legal trouble. It would've been bad enough to have to drive past condos missing my flea market, now I have to pass an empty lot with bank signs looking for a construction firm and declaring some kind of legal notice.

I don't get out much on weekends though in the spring, summer and fall. Lots of baseball (I'm an umpire). Thursday and Friday are my regular days.

I appreciate the response Lugz. Thanks.
My pleasure. Talking about picking is almost as fun as picking!

My LEFT-BEHINDs today...

Pic 1 was a huge-*** (7" jaws) vise that mounted on a rail. No markings. The action was terrific but the jaws were a mess. I am going to post on th MegaVise thread to see how stupid I was for passing it up.

Pic 2 were antique telephone extenders from a hotel. I was thinking they'd be great for a shoplight re-purposing, but the seller wanted $50. Funny thing he put one back in his truck, thanking me for the idea. I said I thought I should get a discount for that and he laughed and said, "Okay, $45."

I have no idea what the kit in Pics 3, 4 & 5 is but I wanted it real bad. Some special tool set for a special application. The box is a block of wood with the toolholders carved out and some kind of textured material surface layer, obviously to keep out the elements. It is the most pristine toolkit I have ever seen. The tubes have diodes in them. The tools on the left are Starrett, the hex keys are Unbrako, and the Phillips screwdriver is Proto, all highest quality mfgrs, which made me even more impressed with CEC, whoever they are.

Here's the cornhusker. This one is a little different than "THE BOSS", with fingerholes.

Lugz I was expecting you to post an instructional video on how to use those cornhuskers! :lol_hitti

I hit a nearby estate sale this morning. As I drove up I saw a guy with a cart full of tools and figured there wouldn't be much left. There wasn't. However, I did get the Ridgid 3-way pipe threader (1", 3/4" & 1/2") plus the Pasco 4567 cleanout drain plug wrench (which I didn't know what it was but it was interesting). Spent $3.

We have officially entered the rainy season, and flush with cash from selling some stuff I had picked up last week, I hit the road.
The first stop, almost always the farthest, showed some flats of tools in the pics and a Kennedy type 8-drawer machinists chest. Well, when I got there the tools were nothing to write home about, the machinist's chest, while cheap, was painted with some kind of bed liner. But, that box was cheap enough and I found a few other things to make it worth my while:
51676032430_a7b43b3582_c.jpg
Crowntop machinists chest, Snap-on electricians driver, APEX bit driver, fine ceramic seagull, and a shooting stick. That is nice, as I walk with a cane at this point. $40 for everything. Bonus, the bed liner was in the rain for about a minute and is coming off with a putty knife. That's some fine quality there, Lou.

51674369487_300efae64b_c.jpg
The second stop was in Provincials territory, but I like the couple who were running it and they will do deals on the first day, so I stopped of course. Here I picked up a nice Stanley square, an oiler, a weird IBM dual-ended nut driver, and this bad boy:
51676034520_a6827c6914_c.jpg
A nice, early V-twin compressor motor, all set up to run on compressed air and fully restored. $30

The next stop was a TOO, and to be honest, it looked like it was pretty picked over. But I found these for $13:
51674364667_43ff9fb945_c.jpg
Some staples, a 1/4 socket box, jewelers drivers, Millers falls depth gauge and micrometer. There was a rolling toolbox there, marked sold and locked up, and guess who showed up to pick it up? Provincial. We did some horse-trading in the street, and I got to see the inside of that box. Very nice, but I will leave it to him to talk about it.

The last stop is a company I don't really like, as they clean everything up, and sort it into sealed bags, so you need to watch what you are doing there. But, I found the following:
51676064580_f5040a241e_c.jpg
Two mostly complete Thorsen sets and a complete Wright set. $14.

And then I went and got a burrito.

I found a nice Baldor carbide grinder in FBMP and went to pick it up. The guy wanted $150 for it. Worth every penny. Hell, the Norton diamond grinding wheel was worth that! Anyway, as were loading up the grinder, I see a Wilton bullet vise on the garage floor and I’m like, “is that for sale?” He says make me an offer. I only had $25 left - sold!

I mean, thanks so much C-Rex. Very kind of you. I live for that.

I also got these Snap On Ballpoint metric T-handles at another yard sale for $10. What am I going to do with metric tools?!?

There were a couple of estate sales in my home town today. Both opened at 9 AM, and I chose to attend the closest one first because the power company is working on the power lines on the through street just past the point where I could turn off toward the sale. It turned out well, as I was the first person to dig through the bin of wrenches! It seems that the fellow had worked for IBM, considering that there was a large crate labelled IBM that was being used for a set of shelves, and a "salesman's case" with many small drawers with IBM prominently painted near the handle. I found confirmation in the wrench bin, and pulled out 29 wrenches with IBM and part numbers in the 9000000-range. There were a few other interesting ones, too.
Estate No. 1.jpg
"DROP FORGED" DOE 19/32 x 11/16
Auto-Kit type wrench 3/8 x 7/16
Bridgeport inch/metric DOE 19/32 x 11/16
Bridgeport inch/metric DOE 5/8 x 3/4
Drop Forged S-wrench with diamond logo probably Whitman and Barnes
Williams Superrench combo 1/4
Armstrong 27-916 Armalloy obstruction DOE 1/2
Herbrand 1721 DOE 5/16 x 3/8
Blackhawk 4723 DOE 3/8 x 7/16
Blackhawk BW-1406 short DBE 5/8 x 3/4
Bonney 1033-C DOE 15/16 x 1-1/16
The 29 IBM wrenches are all very small, most between 1/4 and 3/8, with a few 7/16 ends. Some are marked Japan or Taiwan. There are a couple of Proto DOE's with the IBM number on a standard wrench and Proto TM. Some are angled for clearing obstructions. All the wrenches in the right hand column are IBM.

Here are the rest of the items from that sale, not showing a USA-made shovel in new condition that was included in the package, all (including the wrenches) for $20.00.
Estate No. 1 2.jpg
Quart of Lacquer Thinner
8 oz. of Brasso metal polish
Scotch Brite mounted 2-1/2" wheel
Battery Disconnect (new)
2 6" scales, one inch and one metric
6" Mitutoyo vernier caliper with case
6" dial caliper, no name

I hit a TOO on the way to the second sale, and it was a dud. The second estate sale was run by the family, and they were pricing things to get rid if them. I found the tools, which were in a detached workshop, and found that the interesting items were in a Craftsman stack that wasn't marked. I found one of the family, who had marked it by putting a piece of masking tape on the lid. The lid had been opened, and I hadn't flipped it down to look. The price was reasonable, so I bought it, but had to unload a diesel tank from my pickup to make room for the stack, and when I returned, bmwrd0 was standing in line to buy some goodies. After I got the stack loaded we had a good chat and checked out my buy. I gave him some Blackhawk Nugget sockets I had been saving for him, and a Wards Speed Master box for a 1/4 drive set. He set off for more buying, and I headed home to unload because it was raining hard.

Here is the Craftsman stack:

I'll start a new post to show the contents.

Trying to catch up with everyone's posts!
Beemer, cmccuist1, and Provincial all ****!

Beemer--explain the purpose of a "compressor motor, all set up to run on compressed air"--sounds like a self licking ice cream cone to me.

It's a display piece, OR. The kind of thing that Old-Engine Collectors restore. A working compressor motor draws air into the chamber, while this is just set up to run from that air as a demonstrator.

Been a slow year as far as tool deals go at yardsales this year. Got this one at an estate sale of an old friend's grandfather. Don't really recall see a c-clamp this long in person before. Cincinnati Tool Company 540-14. Don't know if I'll really use it much, but if I need it, I'll have it and it was only $10

Got it. Nobody gets to taste any ice cream from a self-licking cone either. ;)

Finally got myself a vise. 4” Fuller (Japan) and a letter die set. $35 total, but I really needed a vise and I passed up too many this year that I should have bought but wasn’t educated enough when I saw them.

Great items!
Here are my finds from three estate sale today. First in Concord was family run and had a lot of Wards stuff probably made by Barcalo.31F8DF16-6104-42A0-BB9D-572AD1178B3A.jpegB074C744-BA23-4414-985D-C43EBAAAD5CF.jpeg
The second sale was close to home in Kensington, put on by an estate sale company known to be a little pricey so I just picked up a few tools. The Plomb 3/8” drive speeder was like new.91D2727A-218E-4767-9091-FCF97A4B0185.jpeg
The third sale was in Oakland. It was put on by one of my favorite estate sale companies and prices were fair. The old unmarked speeder is destined for my early S-K 1/2” drive set.

An odd day, as there was nothing nearby, and near nothing near my moms house where I went to fix lights, air up her cars tires, and take her to a Dr. visit,

Two planed stops - for a fiver I got a box of keys, many of which are blanks! and a Military ax with a busted handle .

Keys and Ax.jpg

Paging Jeff! the pair seem to be for a lock with 4 sets of opposed pins? adn the single is a ":RE-KEY TOOL"


Keys-tool.jpg
And the markings on the ax - KB44 adn what appear to bt 2 crowns?

and the second stop got the thinsulate lined leather gloves, a Prestone SF tester, and a siphon stater:

Provincial- that's quite the haul of IBM wrenches. Looks like they were sourced from all over the place too. Proto I knew. Snap on? Think I have some IBM nut drivers that are like Blue Point. Looks like maybe Armstrong there too? I cant tell which others. Sweet haul.
Thought of our meet up at Flywheelers 2 yrs ago while I was standing in the exact same spot today talking to Jwitt! Fun times and great tools.
