Awesome info, thank you! I had gotten as far as thinking it was a No 13 without the ratchet but the newer style box was confusing me.@saukit
Hate to say I was right, but... I was right.
If you go to my Mossberg No. 82 Pro set thread, linked here, you'll see a very large set in that same kind of brown enamel steel box with that same decal. If you go to page 2 of the Mossberg pages on AA, linked here, they have a smaller set in the same kind and color of box with the same decal. Both my set and the AA set have the heavy hot forged cold-broached sockets. 1928-ish.
In 1927 they were advertising the older style pressed steel sockets in what looks and is described as brown enamel steel boxes. See Pic below. I'd say you have a very late No. 13, in a transition year, with newer steel boxes (no more wood or fiberboard), but older sockets. The end of the line.
Pretty cool.
Will send you a PM, thanks for the offer!Sakuit, I may havr a sapre Mossberg 355 laying.around. Looks like that is the only.missing piece.
It's very odd seeing those antique era sockets in a steel box, but that's also what makes it so cool!...but the newer style box was confusing me.
, screwdrivers, chrome and impact sockets, breaker bar




























Star drill is the name here.And a ~20mm stone hole chisel. There is a better name for this but my brain is refusing to comply.
there are no tool sales in the S.A. area this week...





Nice.I settled on a pinned Indestro set,
What is the "S" wrench with the number on it?Elsewhere, I picked up...
Love it.Green hex key pouch - Superior Tool Co Cleveland Ohio.






And half of a 6” square.
Any of those even slightly complex shapes are a bear to refit. Rabbets are possible, but I have a frankenplane rabbet that physically will never work, the wide part of the blade is 1/4" plus too long for the notch in the body.
Was that gullet re-worked by the previous owner with a file?
You’re probably right. I was ambivalent and only bought it because the tapered pin and wingnut were present. I should have searched more thoroughly for others of that size; now I see I don’t have any!What is the "S" wrench with the number on it?

In my head, they are “cravat” wrenches, because of the wide bandana—like reinforcement at the necks. I feel that someone identified them at some point, but I don’t recall what they are. I’m pretty sure I had more, but can only find one other, now. Interestingbthat they are both “E” on one side, and have the same number on the other, except for the letter suffix.I won’t be buying any. I see them often enough they hold no charm, and I have no ambition to make complex profiles. Still, it grieves me a bit to see them on the bare ground, used to level folding tables.I wouldn't buy one without a blade except as part of a box lot, or as a donor for the wood or wedge.
Oh man I feel your pain. Those adjustable wrenches are like sirens calling me to crash upon the rocks. Can't figure it out. Stopped trying.Found a couple of ratcheting wrenches.
One Indestro and the other Snap On which look very useful.
Next week I will look for a 3/8-7/16 and the bigger sizes
Also went home with a -v- Craftsman 1/2 ratchet that was frozen (ez-pz fix)
I only bought it so that I could take it apart and fix it
Plomb Pebble DBE wrench
Older Craftsman locking pliers
P&C 1/2" drive open head ratchet (I have a thing for open head ratchets)
Also bought an S-K adjustable wrench which I will never use.
I am a sucker for old adjustables and vintage nut drivers (why why??!) , none of which I ever use

I have just always called them drills.....I'm probably wrong.Carboot this morning.
Tools, old I.sorby cross pein hammer.
And a ~20mm stone hole chisel. There is a better name for this but my brain is refusing to comply.
Part of the Mr. Punch logo is visible.
Took the chisel for a little test drive, pun intended.
Roughly 15-20mm deep. That was enough for my first attempt.
Also picked up some books, but might post those later.
Edit, should mention that's the hammer cleaned up, could not make out any logo before purchase, but thought there might be one there. It's light, but relatively nice condition for it's age
