2023 Garage Sale Thread

[Private Lugnutz]

it’s just too cumbersome to do with my right hand in a cast

That's an okay haul. Not great. Not junk, either.

Great. Now I'm going to have that "I Am My Own Grandpa" song stuck in my head all day.

Very nice find!

If you think it'll help? But, I think that's a simpler relationship than what @Old Radar encountered. If course, without this handy chart, I wouldn't believe it either...

That Dunlap tap and die set looks a lot like the smaller one Lugz sent me in 2017.

That 7/16 distributor wrench is most likely for a Chrysler slant 6

This morning the temp dipped below 0*C and I could see my breath for the first time in a thick, white, long-lasting plume (edited for Bill Nye the Science Guy) , marking the first day of my favorite flea market season - when all the beanie baby and chinaware people start staying home.

Small haul (Lugz 2023_37):



- DISSTON wartime GMTK spec- and period- correct file handle
- BLACKHAWK extension (T10) from the QD era (flippety flip)
- a few screwdrivers, including very nice Stanley Hurwood EHD machinists' stubby, Ryan PH, Indestro Super, and a tiny nested dolls type made in Germany
- Roberts' Razors shears
- a pair of tiny adjustables with markings I have never seen before (not an invitation to ruin my research fun!)

And Mrs. Lugz is going to love the kooky classic cardboard marketing flags and the little sea cow statuette. I will probably give her the cards now and save the manatee for a stocking stuffer. There was a 3- or 4-year stretch when our kids were younger when we drove to Disney annually, always picking something else (e.g., Kennedy Space Center, etc) to do on the way down and back. One year we swam with the manatees and it was something we all still reminisce about with great fondness, so I feel very fortunate to find it. Those things and the two little leatherette snap pouches with pewter Catholic figurines inside were free. Someone described as "skeezy" and less polite terms by adjacent vendors dumped a large lot of stuff on the table and drove off.

 

[Old Radar]

Nice haul Lugz, but think it's time to get that prescription checked. I can usually see my breath when the temp dips below about 45*F.

I haven't looked up the part # yet, but will check it out, thanks.

You're right. Fixed it.

Humidity has a lot to do with it as well.

 

[poppinjohnnies]

I picked up this nice little 6” Crescent at a local estate sale for $1 today. Got a killer 4’ shop fan, too. It set me back $100, but I’m happy with it.

 

[d42jeep]

The sale I found on Craigslist turned out to be worthless but we found a little TOO around the corner and picked up a few tools.
-Don
Mostly VA Craftsman fractional combos
Blackhawk DBE wrenchCraftsman =v= DOE
Craftsman 15mm combo.
Tools cleaned up.

Dang, spoilsport

 

[Private Lugnutz]

Are you saying if I wasn't such a blowhard there'd be less visible respiration? Oh wait, never mind. I thought that read "Humility."

Dang, spoilsport

HAHA! Hey, at least I didn't put them brand side down this time. And the good news is I am stumped on A&M and WJB.

BTW, cleaned up closeup teasers... More on 'Bicycle wrench', 'Shears', 'Show us your wood', and 'Russian nesting doll' threads.

 

[Outlawmws]

'Russian nesting doll' threads.

We have one of those? or is it a "Rusting nesting doll" thread?

Oh wait, never mind. I thought that read "Humility."

Can be fixed!

 

[Private Lugnutz]

We have one of those?

We sure do!

The Russian nesting doll of screwdrivers

An older screwdriver that was in my late father-in-law’s stuff. Brass handle with no brand markings. But wait, there’s more! Take the rear cap off and inside is… Another screwdriver. If you order right now, you can take the rear cap off of that one and… And finally, you take that one...

Does anyone recognize what this donut goes to? At a church yard sale and it’d be good to say…TIA!

 

[Stubby1743]

There appears to be some markings stamped into the edge of the rim. What are they?

 

[Outlawmws]

Measure across the bolt pattern for candidates.

So does the amount of coffee on your breath.

Maybe you do a search on the tire size, you might at least narrow it down to a few car makes. Then use Google images to see which one's wheel looks like yours.

 

[Patrickm82]

Not much today just some CI pans. A national 8a, griswold #3, a 8b ? And a 6?

 

[gpw_42]

Thanks all for the suggestions on the rim. The marking is M15 14x41 3 13 92, so I assume made 1992. Metric wheel, 10cm center to center, across opposite holes. Tire is T115/70D14.

@Patrickm82 your 8B skillet is a BSR (Birmingham Stove and Range) Red Mountain series, probably made in the 50s-early 60s. BSR made a later series (Century), with different markings, which ended in 1992 when they closed.

Went to two sales today

 

[Marsim]

I just picked these up really cheap. They seem to work fine.

 

[seber]

Hit an estate sale yesterday but they opened early and when I got there 1/2 hour before it was supposed to open, all the good stuff was already sold. I did pick up this virtually new Powermatic band saw. I paid $780 but it came with OEM brand fence, miter gage, riser block, light, and puffer. It also had five unused blades. The relative said owner bought it three days before he passed. Now I just have to figure out how to get it off the truck since I threw my back out last week.

Man. I like that clock. Really cool.

Wow, that saw is nice.

 

[bluebolt]

I did the annual "Main to Main" sale again from Springhill Louisiana to Minden Louisiana yesterday. I wanted to make sure I stopped at the vendor I bought the massive Parker 8" vise last year and again I struck "Iron"! A Parker 955 fixed base 5" jaw vise and a Wilton 6" Mechanic's vise for $150 for both. I also picked up a Steelgrip hub puller, Proto hammer wrench, Adjustable C clamp, A whole tub full of Kent Moore GM special tools, 7 tool bags and a military lead seal pliers for $50 more for a total of $200.

 

[bluebolt]

I forgot the photo of the tub the Kent Moore was in, paid $20 for all the KM!

 

[d42jeep]

Only one likely sale showed up on Craigslist today plus a listing for a free sale. I’ve never had much luck at free sales but why not drive by? The first more likely sale was in Martinez, CA. We found some tools and the prices weren’t too bad.
Lots of Craftsman
A 1/4“ drive Indestro ratchet
Thorsen and S-K sockets.
A nice Klein 3/8“ nutdriver
And a 1-1/4” wartime Wright socket for misterbill
-Don

 

[d42jeep]

The free sale was much more interesting than I expected. It was family members cleaning up after their brother had passed.
I liked the old battery cell tester.
The Sears timer looked to be unused
An assortment of saw blades in a Starrett tube. What is this Hunter item for? If you pull on the sleeve this little tip sticks out.
Another what’s this?
A #10 tap
-Don

 

[Outlawmws]

I'm thinking brad started adn deep sink

Another what’s this?

Roll pin punch
