From an elderly friend came today's nice mixed bag vintage finds.
- "18 CORNWELL 26", 1-1/8" 1/2 drive shallow 12pt socket. Looks very, very old.
- Wright Barberton, O. USA DS-163 1" 1/2 drive deep 12pt socket. Dated 46+, nice looking chrome, minimal use on this one. Interestingly the broaching only goes about half depth, unlike newer Wright that go all the way down.
- Bonney V25 1/4 pear head ratchet. This one needs a cleaning, but is riveted together so I'll try the ATF dunk.
- Powr-Kraft "6/32" tapered pin punch. Most folk would call that 3/16", maybe I'm missing something.
- Wright BW21 DBE, 7/16 and 1/2. Appears hand forged and looks very old.
- SK in a Diamond 45161, 3/8 extension 6" long.
- Crescent USA LS-26 thin nose 6.5" slip joints w/ cutter. Nice chrome on these.
- Proto Professional 706-SL Clik-Stop 6" adjustable wrench in black oxide. Has some light use but very clean. Knurl still shiny.
- Red Devil no. 1226 slip joint pliers with one flat and one curved jaw, w/ wire cutting notch, 7" long.
- True Temper no. 1016 ball pein hammer, 16 oz. Very good user shape.
- "MPION MENT" (Champion DeArment) stubby handle ball pein hammer. No other markings visible, unsure of size (24 or 32 oz. if I had to guess). This thing was ridden hard and put away wet, to say the least.
