So, as Rick on Pawn Stars would ask "so what do you want to do with it?" You want to pawn it or sell it?

put up an add on craigslist offering fluid draining. $25 a pop, so to speak.

Not sure if should make a new thread (please correct me as I'm new to this forum and posting in forums in general) but here's some of my other findings:
Set of Nicholson files
An awesome Anthony snap ring pliers
Some random Starrett punches and stuff I don't know (many not pictured)
27/64 and 29/64 New Cleveland Special drill bits
JH Williams 4" adjustable wrench
Ridge Tools 5" pipe wrench
some kind of small double sided wrench, it's offset, and has a small sliding screw driver on one side and a what looks like a feeler on the other side. I haven't bust the rust to move those things. Anybody know what that might be used for? I can get a better picture if needed.
A Hargrove feeler gauge for distributors and valves?? I've never worked on either before, so I'm not sure of it's exact use.
I was REALLY excited to find those snap ring pliers. I've never seen anything like it. I couldn't find much info on Anthony tools. Anybody know it's value? The awesome thing is that it's big with tiny points AND it doesn't go in an angle. it opens or closes on the same line, if you can understand how I'm describing it. It's not like the one I have which as you open it, it pivots around in a circle motion

The next pictures show:
Huot "Drill Index" 60 bit set from .040" to .228". I'm guessing for machinists.
A nifty thread count gauge made by Handy, which will definitely come in handy (no pun intended)
M R Co grinder bit (I think that's what they are called) new in the tube. I found the website. I don't know much about the history, but I'm sure it's top quality. Anybody know the value of this? I already have a set of cheaper diamond carbide bits that do what I need it to.

Here's another pic of that last center punch. Anybody know what that indentation/groove on the side is for? I'm not sure what the brand is, but I think it's PRB. I found a PRB tool maker in England on google, but I'm not sure. I could be that it's an old tool made by them. It might not even be a regular center punch. Maybe it's something you attach to a machine and punches it? It appears to have the lettering "=AT.C CT121" (PAT C _?_T121") "NC 3 x 2 1/2", then "1/4". That second " on the left side is missing the left side of the C, but it looks like it would be a C. These letters are engraved/stamped in, not laser etched.

Ultimately, lgbradwell was correct even before it was identified...

Cool. I didn't know you could do that. I have to sort all of my tools I got. I got a small bucket of like 50 taps and dies... mostly Greenfield. I just need to get some of the surface rust off so I could identify them.
But back to my previous posts, does anyone know what that side groove is on that (maybe) center punch? And that feeler that says "valve" and "dist", specifically for the one I have, what is its exact use?
My guess is there is a ball lock in the chuck this goes into so it locks the ball in that groove when you insert the bit in the chuck. It's tear shaped so a moderate tug downward will cause the ball to recede and the bit can come out without much struggle. It would seem the ball would prevent the bit from spinning in the chuck as much as holding it in but with a bit that shape it shouldn't matter if it spun. Perhaps other bits for the tool weren't so concentric and needed to be prevented from spinning.

my first thought was also that of a leather working tool, even before I read the other post!'

It looks like a punch that goes with a die for punching 1/4 inch holes in something there will be a female die about the same size you must allow for clearance in the set. These are used in punch presses for manufacturing
