Very nice set of tools,I am drooling all over at the s-shaped wrenches...Be sure and cover them in some oil,so the rust stays at bay.

That is a screw jack that is most common for leveling houses....

Now that is some nice stuff. Especially that collection of spuds. Those sockets look like Mossberg, but the ratchet does not match.

Socket set looks like an early Mossberg. I've got one similar to it.

It is a syracuse socket set. I got it for around 22 bucks and the pipe wrench is by Schick the razor company and is aluminum or magnesium I think. It is sooo light it's unreal. You also see a grenade can that held allumination grenade for I think WW2. Most of all the spuds are Herbrand. The huge pipe cutter is made by Mule or something out of PA in the late 1800's but i cant remeber the full name with out looking on it again. The ratchet and ext are proto. I have a bit less that 50 wrapped up in all these finds

Nice score! There are 1 or 2 guys on here that collect old spud wrenches, should you ever find yourself tired of them. The Plomb 3/4 was a real nice find too!

Very nice haul!
There's a guy been trying to sell this on CL for 6 months with no takers. He started at $50. Obviously, not the original box.
