Here are some of my recent estate finds. The 2 smaller vises i got for $1, they were siezed, but with a good cleaning and paint, they look and work great. One is a Jordan #4 special and the other a Dunlop 3"?. Any information on either of these?
The large vise is a Reed 5.5-6". Got it for $5 and cleaned and painted it.
The Huot box i bought for $50. It had some minor rust. After sanding it down, i painted the drawers and outside. The front cover i only painted to keep it from rusting, hence the paint lines. It will stay open most of the time, i just wanted to protect it. Any Opinions on age of this box? I cant find any picture or information of any Huot box remotely close to it. The top on the box is from my work. I worked in office furniture, and this is about 1.25-1.5 thick top from an office. I plan to use this box as more of a power tool box as well as my larger wrenches and hand tools.
So how did i do?
