Auction winnings

[1badbird]

Went to a small household auction today and got some good deals. Craftsman jointer in really nice shape on a stand of unknown orgin $5.00. S&K 1/2 inch socket set $12.50. Other misc. tools $2-5 each. Couldn't believe no one else was bidding on this stuff!

 

[softailgarage]

DAMNIT!!! Now that's a deal! Allow me to be the first....YOU ****

 

[VCaddy]

Wow, that stuff is mint. I have all the same vintage SK 1/2 drive stuff, but mine isn't near as purdy.

Does that set have any of the **/32" sockets in it? The sockets I have came without the case, got a 19/32 in there though.

 

[dutchgray]

That SK set is lovely and $12.50 is nothing for one that nice.

 

[Tippletrash]

Yeah you ****, heck of a deal on a good sk set.

 

[1badbird]

Thanks guys, it is missing a 9/16 12 point. No 32nds expect an odd ball with no name on it.

 

[1badbird]

Here is the odd ball. Anyone know what brand it is?

 

[softailgarage]

I have a couple with that same branding mark, no maker name though

That oddball socket brand is . . . . DAMN I **** !!!

The S/K 1/2" drive socket set is AWESOME . . even with period sales tag !!!

All around MASSIVE SUCKAGE on those scores !! Congrats.

 

[1badbird]

I know, I love that it has the tag, got to love 22.50

 

[justanengineer]

I've got the same jointer, also paid $5 for it. Sad that good tools arent worth much anymore, most of the fellas here would rather spend more for new HF ****.

I want to say Bog but the one I have that looks similar has two different patterns in the knurling not two of the same like yours.

I think I have a new britian socket with similar markings will have to check and if you are missing a 9/16" I may have one if you are interested.

Pm me Ricky Joe I would love to complete this set! Only the 7/16 is 6 point. Inspector A146, wonder how many they had back then?

 

[1badbird]

I'm with you justanengineer, I always buy old American iron/ made in the usa when I can.

when I was in school just after Abe was shot in the back of his old head a book cost a whopping $10.00 dollars wow was that ever expensive...

just thinking about that price of $22.50 was enough to make your head spin, the good/bad old days in price perspective inflation.

Did you young farts see the price of books today good lord enough to break the bank of Monte Carlo.

Still op you get the you **** award good job!

I go to an auction almost every week and honestly I've never seen a good socket set go so cheap before, days like this are few and VERY far between. In the last 3 years or so its become much harder to find a deal.I'm just glad I decided to get up and go lol.

The stand under that jointer looks like an Atlas metal shaper stand. It's probably worth more than the jointer.

 

[1badbird]

The atlas metal shapers I have seen the legs curve more than these do, but i will have to do some more research. I will try to get more pics of the stand in the next week or two.

 

[Gear Wolf]

Wowza nice find! I should go to an estate sale/auction with you 1badbird. You have good luck following you.

 

[My Old Tools]

Those legs don't have the lower braces that my shaper has, but it's worth trying figure out if they are from another machine. They might be from an old cast iron parlor stove.
