First Post - Seemed Appropriate (Craigs Listing)

[mbdslpwr]

All,

First post here. Apologies if it's not the right spot, but I couldn't stand to -not- let this crowd know about it. Antique / vintage tool sale in Maine. Please see link. No personal investment whatsoever. Just thought it was too interesting to pass up.

Welcome. That looks like quite a place, almost worth a flight out to Maine to see!

Now that's an entrance!

I never thought of Maine as a destination for a whole week on vacation. You have enlightened me sir. I just need a big *** truck...

Open year round = high prices and little motivation to sell.

Precisely correct.

One does not maintain an inventory that large unless they are selling at retail or higher prices.

That said, it's an impressive collection of goodies for sure. The owner must go to a lot of estate auctions up there in Maine.

Wow, now that is what I call tonnage.

Stumbled on that ad the other while browsing CL in Maine.

I check once in a while just to see what's out there. When the CDN dollar was better we'd take a trip or two a year to go shopping in the states. Too bad we don't do it anymore, I'd buy a few tools while down there.

"Open year round = high prices and little motivation to sell."

Probably right.

I came across that the other day as well. There are some nice tools there. I'll have to swing by next time I'm up that way.

I hear that those mechanical drills are super fun to use... for about 10 seconds (however, I still want one).

I'd love to have that Victorian cast iron grindstone in picture #9. But pic 13 broke my heart--all those cast iron farm implement seats someone ripped off and sold to him.

I'm still new, so this is a token post to get to five so I can list something in the Classifieds Section. Freebie, in case anyone's interested. Should be offered to this crew first before going public on C-List.

Six posts between October 2016 and August 2018 is not new, mbdslpwr (MB Diesel Power?).

That's New Old Stock!



I like your avatar. Reminds me of the thousands upon thousands of small manufacturers and machine shops there used to be in this country.
