Sigh, I am truly addicted to garage sales lately. Hit a few sales Friday, drove 30 miles for sale that started at 7 AM, got there about five minutes before, very few tools left. Went to another that had a lot of woodworking tools, mostly Harbor Freight suff. Some 70's and 80's Craftsman but nothing I didn't already have. Picked up a few odds and ends including a Hazet Assistent for $10. It was an early one with the single middle tray and the lower case "a" in Hazet. My VW buddy offered me $60 sight unseen. He grabbed it so fast I never got pictures LOL. It had been repainted and the casters weren't great so I think it was a reasonable price.
So heading home, 1/4 mile from my place and I see a sign for a yard sale not far from me. It wasn't in the papers or Craiglist. So I figured i would check it out quick but figured out anything good would be long gone. Get there, not much tools. I ask guy if anything else and he says there is some old tools in the back shed he had never brought out. Find a few older Craftsman pieces when he mentions there is a whole wooden box full of tools. End up buying the box and tools I had already picked out for $30 plus $5 each for two old Emerson fans, both of which worked.
The box was made of plywood but was put together nicely. The corners had strengthening angle pieces and a top tray with nicely done dividers. Craftsman in the box is pic 3 and includes an underlined Craftsman angle tool with redish bakelite plastic handle, a Craftsman "60" hacksaw, a Dunlap red handled keyhole saw, Craftsman chalk line, drill bit, "push" screwdriver and an "expansion" drill bit in a crumbly "Crown" pouch.
In the picture of the tray is a Stanley hand drill and small draw knife on the left, a Lufkin divider, Millers Falls plane and drill bits on the top right, Irwin drill bits below that, a Pabst Blue Ribbon bottle opener and 3 Stanley angle tools of different sizes in the lower right corner.
The last picture is miscellaneous tools the coolest of which is the Proto red handled drill, the angle of the drill chuck can be changed, the handle angle can be changed and the knob on the handle comes off so you can store bits inside. The hammer/pry bar combo is a Bridgeport, the dividers are Lufkin, the ice pick is Coca Cola, the big hand drill is a Worth and the mini tubing cutter and flaring tools are Imperial.
