I collect old engine testing gear. I'm really curious about something. What is that technician on the cover listening to? Is there a description of that unit that tells why it has an headphone connected to it?

Thanks!

Perfect! It says "A sensitive earphone is provided and plugs into the tester for accurately checking the upper and lower point setting on double contact regulators". Ok, that is a new on on me! Not sure how that works, but then I haven't worked on a regulator in a very long time.

Thanks!

No help, but I Found an expired eBay listing that included an XP2006 & 2007, along with your XP2005, they also thought 1930s

Gotta be an early hand reamer. The finish looks simular to the early 30s but it should be hardened steel so who knows if that impacts the look, but I have some just like it. Also the XP part number series is for expanding pilots referenced in the early industrial cats. My guess is either a special order or there's some catalogs out there that will mention all of these mystery tools that keep popping up.

Here's an early no. 21 first one like this I've had. Cool part is that I get to put the sockets on my husky ratchets ha. And some blue point Supremes I picked up

 

[Prototype]

I have a Snap-on torqometer, it's a TER-6LA

I tried looking it up online but can't find anything about,
The snap on catalog doesn't even have this one in it. Just a dash where it's supposed to be.

I believe according to the date on the back is from 1983
It's in great shape and the light works. I just need to send it out to get calibrated before I put it to use. Unfortunately it did not come with a case.

 

[Steven 33]

Some of the cleanest early 30s tools I've seen. Not sure if the grind marks are owners marks or what because they looks hardly used

That valve adjuster originally had three hex drive sockets with it. I believe it is World War 2 vintage and was specifically for aircraft.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Too bad about the grind mark but otherwise amazing condition

 

[Steven 33]

Couple odd set ups I have going on right now

Yes, yes, and not necessarily.

That's the sweet one what year is that one from? Looks like same style but no Knurling on the socket bits

Probably late 20s

1-1/4 8pt pretty cool first one I've seen

 

[Steven 33]

Hoping I won't need to upgrade this one. It's pretty nice

Bro, you are just killing it.

Forgot to say this isn't mine by the way. It's on Facebook market place not local to me I think possibly PA. Just thought it was cool

 

[log man]

my great uncle ran a model T and A repair shop. I have a few tools from him that I could use more info on. First, the Gripper- fortunately I did some looking before I discarded…it came with a t bar labeled snap on and 5 knurled sockets not labeled. Original sockets or not?

 

[log man]

all of these have a snap on mark

 

[log man]

No mark on these that I can find. Thanks for any illuminating responses! Valuation would be helpful too.

The 20s snapon midget sockets were not marked

Discarded?

Yes the sockets are original. Those are some nice oldies.

Picked up a blow gun at Habitat. Not nearly as old. I haven‘t researched the age.

[Mintgrun]

I picked up some impact sockets today. Apparently, the N4046A and B are for railroad air brakes. Those ought to come in handy!


The LSIM320A has a wire ring I've never seen before. It has a little bent bit protruding into the socket. I'm guessing that's to hold the nut. (?)




The FV71 was in the same box-o-tools (along with the Thorsen). I like how compact it is.

Would purchase if selling send me a message

Can't seem to figure out the maker on this small sliding T

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Here's a little wrench I think from an Allison tool kit

 

[snapmom]

Does anyone know the contents of the kit, would like to see one.
Years ago, I thought this wrench was a 1929.

 

[Oldtuleguy]

I can see why, but I think it's part of the part number. I'm curious about the kit as well

I found a FX24 3/8”drive extension at a yard sale yesterday. I could have used this two foot long extension on a recent project if I had it earlier. It has a bit of chrome peel and is slightly bent but nothing that will affect its operation. No date code.

As I posted in the garage sale forum I bought these in an online auction. I was hoping to get some help identifying exactly how old this stuff is, thanks in advance!

 

[Oldtuleguy]

Looks like 1930 date codes in last pic
