For sure. As long as the tips aren't broken and the limbs aren't delaminating they will shoot forever. A string and a handful of arrows and you're ready to go. The people on Archery Talk -- Traditional Archery are a great source for getting your recurve set up or shoot me a message and I can give you some thoughts on getting it going.
I just saw the same drill press with foot pedal. Guy asked and the seller said $40, urghhhh. Big piece though.
So you thought that was incredibly cheap? Or you were upset you didn’t get it?
Incredibly cheap. Just too heavy to transport and I've already got a vintage drill press. Here it is a Delta/Rockwell. Though about disassembling and selling it piece-meal and for sure would have made a bunch, but it seemed a shame to break up such a gorgeous machine. The mini jet lathe went for $100, which was also a deal, but once again don't need one and would have been a bear to ship.
Sure! I'm not attached. I'll pm you with things id like.
I was going to ask him about the oddball hinge and adjuster anyways so I'm sure it'll work out.
Thanks for the **** on the odd sockets. Interestingly, when I emptied my vaporust container I found 2 more for a total of 10.I've got the T1230 -28 -26 -24 -22 -20; T1219 -18 -16 -14 all in 12 point. None Better really are better. I'd even venture nicer than the Craftsman =v=.
My ReStore has been dry for a few months but I scored some stuff this week.
Proto 8" adjustable.
A 14" Barcalo.
18" Ridgid
Corona pruning shears.
A Craftsman socket set that isn't missing pieces!
The case is falling apart but it doesn't appear to have been used.
For 13 bucks, I'm happy!
Nice haul. You ****!Estate sale ($50): Oil can and funnel; 3 in 1 oil Globe fish tape; Sioux corded impact drill; Propane kit for shrinking electrical sheathing; Grommets kit; Delta Shopmaster sharpening stone; Argon and acetylene tanks; Crosscut saw; Hand rivet gun; Diamond wrenches; Lathe wood chisels; aluminum push pull rods; Spiral binding system; 2 military winches for electrical cable.
I must admit my grabby side got the best of me. When the door opens, you've got to be ready to hopefully grab not as much as I did. This is from the garage sale with the vintage drill press.
What is the swivel head female ratchet?
Well that is a new one for me. I have had a black screwdriver break down, and I have had some that smelled like vomit… but that one left a path of destruction…Ha! I was the lead actor's sidekick in my HS production of Brigadoon. When I exited the stage in a kilt someone in the audience let out a big wolf whistle and it was an involuntary reaction to flip up the back of the kilt--brought the house down!
In an estate sale photo, I spotted a large old socket-set-looking metal box partially obscured by a stack of towels. Even though I was in the third group they let into the sale, it was undisturbed--still next to the towels when I got into the garage. It was under a Taiwan set that was priced at $12. It was encouragingly heavy and only had a $8 price tag on it. I opened it and was simultaneously thrilled and disappointed. It was full of interesting tools and one completely decomposed cellulose acetate-butyrate driver handle. I knew then why they were only asking $8. Seems like we could get a class action lawsuit going against companies that kept using this nasty stuff that has ruined so many tools...
Anyway, upper right has off shore and other junk and some unidentified rods. None of the rods have ball stops but the smallest has a tiny wine bottle indentation where something was attached.
Center top is the Bonney collection. I feel confident this was a Bonney socket set although the box has no sign of any Bonney marking.
Upper left are the orphans: Plomb WF-77; sad S-K Wayne socket that was next to the driver handle; Walden 5/16 Spintite; Husky Uni; Goodall Pratt punch; three pieces of a Sears (Japan-BK) 1/4" set; Proto mfg socket and Proto LA 708S adjustable.
I was surprised the little penknife open easily. If I looked up the right "Selig Co." they've expanded from disinfectants, soaps & waxes into a large chemical company.
To the left is the Snap-on group. The 1935 F70A was hit hard by the fumes. The offset flat screwdriver may not be SO, but it has SO's cloverleaf symbol for 1932 on it along with H-50 and what may or may not be owners marks: C. G. Fair (double struck due to the curve of the handle and the letters didn't line up exactly)
Also of note is the Bonney T2 Offset Handle with most of the Bonney sticker still attached.
Finally, a $6 wrench roll--no wrenches--that I need Lugz to decipher the numbers on.
Best I can make out is:
C.H. ELLIS CO., INC. (still in business!)
MFG'D 1957
STOCK NO. 5140-322-6009
41-B-2737
The tool area had some Vlchek DBEs laying around but this roll has rust impressions of DOEs.

I have the hammer that belongs in that set
I've had a few die like that. Scarring the tools nearby. My last was in a wooden Union box, so it didn't take out part of the box like OR's did, but fouled the felt.
That looks like an aerial of some ancient burial ruins.
PM me, happy to get rid of it!I believe Amsco, Roscoe an Some Vermont Americans are all the same-ish, my brother @JohnDeere Collects these and knows a bit more about them. Do you keep your garage locked at night? If you don't your Wayne screwdriver my come up missing lol.
I'm new to the different styles, brands, and their markings. You guys probably know better than I do. OTC No. H-260 so I thought it's this
You **** on that score!Scored some tools this week from someone selling “assorted tools” on marketplace. Thought I saw one or two SO tools in the lot they were asking $60 for. When I met them, I made sure to contain my excitement when I saw what they had.
Snap-On 10, 13, 14, 15, 17 combo wrenches
Snap-On 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19 deep well 3/8” drive sockets
Snap-On 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17 shallow 3/8” sockets
Snap-On 10, 11, 13 shallow 1/4” drive sockets
BluePoint multimeter
BluePoint 16 oz ball peen
Craftsman torx T8-T60 (pretty happy with this set as I don’t have one this complete)
Proto 1/2” ratchet
And probably 100 screwdriver 1/4” bits

The antique wingnut helps overcome the snotweld.
That thing was left untouched for many, many years to achieve that look. I would almost be tempted to secure the driver and all the desiccated pieces and powder and the pattern of the rust on the lid in place, as is, with layers and layers of polyurethane, and frame it as a museum piece on the effects of offgassing!
First off that's a worn "R", for "Roll", not a "B" for "Bag." There were "Bags" in the Ordnance Dept inventory, but they were handled in Class 24 (Duck, Canvas, and Tentage), not in Class 41 (Hand Tools). I don't have a wartime record of 41-R-2737. There are no rolls with that FSN in the ORD SNL J-15 (Tool Benches, Cabinets, Boxes, and Rolls). I did find it in a 1956 PS Magazine. It's interesting how they are still citing the former format FSN along with the newly established 11-digit FSN as late as 1956. The new format was established in 1953. You know how long it takes for things to sink in, especially with supply clerks! Enjoy!
