need help,went shopping today

[fletch]

Went shopping today,what you see is not even half of what i got. I got a great deal on everything to. ( at least i think so ) Does anybody have any info on the vintage 3/8 husky set?

 

[old salvage]

Does the ratchet say Husky on it ?
It looks like a New Britain.
Anyway, thats a nice looking pile of tools.

Good lord dude, that's a lot of stuff to buy in one day!! Flea market?

If I remember correctly, that's probably New Britain stuff rebadged as Husky.

 

[fletch]

yes it does say husky, here is a picture of the other side

it was a estate sale, never seen anything like it before,loaded with tools and people

 

[Moose-LandTran]

I'm not sure what the problem is?

 

[speed bump]

Check Alloy-artifacts.

 

[fletch]

No real problem Moose, just wanted some info on the husky set. I might have to buy another toolbox though

 

[fletch]

Thanks speed bump already did though, couldn't find anything unless it was hiding from me

Yeah you need help; start by leaving your wallet at home when you go out...LOL

fletch, that looks to be a really nice haul! I like the older style snappy nut drivers and of course the 3rd gen hard handle screwdrivers.

I couldn't care less about the Husky ratchet; I'm lookin' at the goodies in the 2cnd picture.

Did you notice the wrench that has been cut?

Right side, near the hex ends of the nut drivers.

I'll bet you are feeling the urge to clean something right about now...

Also made by New Britain I believe. I have one marked BE, yellow handle version. Is the Husky marked BE or H? That usually indicated New Britain manufacture.

I am guessing 1940s.

 

[fletch]

Sharp eye Wilbilt. Jburgess,it looks exactly like your craftsman. le6920,i haven't cleaned it yet but i do see the numbers h5125. And just wanting to brag a little i paid $150. for everything.

I have/had some Dayton wrenches that look exactly like that era of Snap-on. I have cut them up, ground them down, or traded them off over the years.

Yes I saw that. I kept looking for the other end of it; I thought it was tucked under one of those sockets.

This is probably the patent for that old ratchet....

Wow, very nice.

 

[billymade]

Man, thats sounds really cheap!!!!! Was it at a flea market, pawn shop or garage sale or something.... sheesh!

 

[fletch]

Estate sale.

 

[billymade]

Damn, I never go to those; maybe I should start checking them out! In the past when I've gone to those; it is sort of like a public auction, too many people, high prices and buyers with wads of cash, willing to pay way more then I would or be able to. Sounds like you made out like a bandit! Congrats!
