So I gave a long time customer a ride home the other day whose husband passed away last year. In talking to her she told me she had been sorting through so much stuff he had. She had already had two garage sales and of course let family and friends pick through it. I was optimistic there would be some cool stuff left when she invited me over tonight to take a look.
I have to say I have never seen that many old U.S.A made wrenches in one place. She must have had 2 or 3 milk crates full of S-K, Armstrong, Williams, Plomb, Craftsman, Proto, Husky and on and on. Couldn't piece together any full sets unfortunately but I included a pic of a few of them.
The real reason for this thread is the brand new Milwaukee 5081 1 HP 10" bench grinder she has. This thing is huge. I've tried to find some info on it as to age and value but am coming up empty. Info please if you can share some insight.
I am also including a pic of some NOS Lucky and Ace brand pipe taps from 3/4" to 2" and a Ridgid pipe tool set. Feel free to let me know any pertinent info on these also. I told her I would let her know what I found out. Thanks.
