I was wondering why there is no thread for this kind of stuff? I mean yeah most of the tools you find are ****, but I myself like to see the old tools... If there is a thread maybe it is as vintage as the tools posted in it and I didn't look deep enough? But I got some barn find wrenches all made in USA (albert lea, lectrolite, and others), but I'm just wondering where to post them?

I think the garage sale thread, vise thread and vintage tool box thread, pretty much cover that, no?

Most end up getting posted in the garage sale thread, but there's no reason why a separate thread for barn finds can't start here.

Garage sale and barn finds are two different things... :bounce: Maybe I'll just start another one. Haha, okay I'll post into the garage sale.

If you look at the first post in the GS thread, its intended to cover ANY source of used tools, or NOS tools found in the same fashion:

Garage sale, Yard sale, Estate sale, Barn sale, Boot sale, Flea markets, pawn shops, thrift shops, Craigs list, whatever. To me, whats the difference where they came from? its a place to show what you got and discuss as desired.

You're only tracking one thread here ?
I find that hard to believe. :lol_hitti

I want to keep track of only one garage/craigslist/auction/etcetera thread. My other favorites are the vise thread, vintage tool boxes, block grinders and Craftsman Crown. I am retired and still can't keep up with everything on GJ!
