Well done on the plomb!Looking good there guys!
Cmccuist- Nice Williams ratchet find
Habitat was good to me as well.
Plomb and Danielson. My second Plomb adjustable this month. I don’t believe in the lottery ticket thing.
A couple Mac, Williams, a Snap-On, PowrKraft, Thorsen.
B&C clamp. Simanco, 2 Craftsman, Sunoco advertising and another little screwdriver.
Thats a cool index but I'm not seeing atlas ? I'm seeing AJAX ??Don't be shocked if you guys see more onesy-twosy flea hauls from me this year or even just onesy hauls like this funny-looking billiards rack today (Lugz 2023_03). I am trying to be more selective and I am a little low on disposable scratch. I had 11 bucks in my pocket and a coffee and buttered roll didn't leave much to play with!
Seriously, I know among Garage Sailers that @d42jeep has one of these folding indexes, branded Atlas, and I think @Outlawmws has a Morse, but I'm not sure who the OEM was. I will post more photos on the 'Drill Indices' thread and do some reading, starting there.
Yea, the guy had covered some of the tools in what seems to be crude oil. And not the sweet Texas maple syrup crude. More like Saudi sour. I know I got a Snap On, a Williams, and a Proto. I thought the double ratchet was a Craftsman based on the knurling on the handle. But the head was too dirty to read. I’ll hit it with some degreaser and a wire wheel And post some more pics.
Ha Ha, I have done this before as well...I didnt know you were a collector of soap brand itemsAtlas, Ajax, ya know, one of those Greek mythological heroes.
If you are referenceing the 2nd ratched down in the picture, that is a dead ringer for a proto. To my knowledge craftsman never offered knurling like that on their modern ratchets. But I totally could be wrong. Those vogel type ratchets are not super common so you still did good.
Yes, but I don't know where you're getting "three" from, 4.c. "Atlas" was just a slip, me literally juxtposing one Greek hero whose name starts with "A" with another Greek hero ("Ajax") whose name also starts with an "A". So, two that I know of. Ajax and Morse.
Probably.
Is it identical to the Ajax, Don? I'm about to post mine and some research on the Indices thread. Please post your Morse there. As far as I can tell by searching on Morse, nobody has. If you already posted it but did not use the word "Morse" in the body of your post, please let me know the post #.
You're right! I was looking at the prices online.
Other than the name, it appears to be exactly the same number index.
I believe I posted it in my basement tool display thread.

Yeah it's for light duty work. He stores his hand tools on it while working on cars. He said there might be another one at work they're tossing out, and he would give it to me.
If he bothers you, I'll take care of him. What you've got to do is cut the hamstring on the back of his leg right at the bottom. He'll never play golf again, because his weight displacement goes back, all his weight is on his right foot, and he'll push everything off to the right. He'll never come through on anything. He'll quit the game.-Carl SpacklerI moved over with alacrity only to see a familiar face stand up from where he had been sitting, hidden by a bush and position himself in the number one spot for the garage, relegating me to number two. He is a reseller and we are on talking terms despite his uncanny and annoying habit of always being in front of me in line. I knew exactly what he was going for and he failed to fall for my opening-time warning that his shoe was untied... Since I refrained from tripping him up or otherwise incapacitating him, he easily reached the vise and declared to the attendant that he would buy it.
ed but decently crafted deep offset( I didn't notice 1 was broken until I arrived home)OR, that is some **** on the part of the reseller. What a chump. I’ll give him that he was there early, but who hides behind a bush???Well, I got up early for the only Estate Sale advertising tools--and of the tools, I was only interested in a bench vise pictured with a big meatball, the barely discernible name Reed and a bit of blue tape with $30 written on it. I got there a half hour before opening and saw only six people waiting in line, only one of whom was male. As opening time approached, the estate agent announced that those who wanted to enter the garage first could line up there.

It turned out to be a model 13 in excellent shape but missing the pipe jaws. I poked around despondently at the other worthless tools and then went home empty handed.
I've had this for quite a few years and it its a beast. Rubbermaid makes some gems.
Hidden by a bush...
I love the rule book for games. I found an old Hoyles rules for card games that's old and has rules for obscure games I've never heard of.OK, I rechecked CL for local sales and some cropped up and 2 were worth getting in the car for. I'm glad I did even if it isn't a USUCK find. Its actually almost nice out today, sunny adn nearly 60 deg!
One had a lantern box in the pics but it was long gone. (a newish model 425 Coleman stove was still there, and still is..)
I found this book and got it - copyright 1938 and 1940:
And I made several asks about long shot items, and mentioned aluminium canopy or tent poles - and struck pay-dirt, and it was "just take them! Please!" He was thinking about recycleing:
This is the exact same canopy frame I use with my tent trailer for a complete coverage canopy for "living space" and a super rain fly over the tent of the tent trailer. I've been missing one top gable fitting since the day I got it some years back. I've used it stand alone, and for two different tent trailer setups with a replacement top piece I made from PCV (dn requires the aluminum poles to be taped on the ends for that piece....) No more!:
Its missing the other one and one corner piece, so the remainder are spares.
the long poles are all there -11 of them - 3 ridge poles, 4 "rafters" and 4 legs, at least one is bent, but is probably usable in a pinch, but mostly these will be used to make it bigger as needed for when I use it "free standing"(I'l figure that out and find a suitable tarp for that size...)
the 3 extensions for the ridge poles are there and will be used to extend my current canopy frame from 6 ft to 8 ft.
only 1 leg extension is there, so a spare...
Meanwhile any left over can be used for other pole projects...
What my current fame looks like (PVC replacement up front):
And a glimpse of the inside:
Nice !!!One of mine is Ajax the other is Morse. Shiftless gifted me the Morse.
