[trailwart]

these are a few vises i grabbed

i have a wilton i need to take a pic also, looks like a bullit

 

[welderwink]

that one thing your not sure of kind of looks like a old school sharpie or rockwell hardness tester....i might be way off tho.

 

[bonneyman]

That wood burner looks like it could come in real handy.
And I've just recently (past 6 months or so) got into Coleman lanterns.....and picked up a Coleman stove last weekend! Already had the fuel, ya know, so, might as well have the stove.
Nice score!

that kwik way valve machine is good stuff. there should be a base to what you have that it sits on. My work has this machine in the shop. We had to make a new collet so we can use the machine w/ modern day valves as the stems were to thin to chuck up.

Dude you ****!!!!!!

I was thinking some sort of dimple die set up riviting tool or a press of some sort.

 

[larry_g]

Your unknown press is a rivet setter, could be for brake linings or harness work.

lg
no neat sig line

 

[trailwart]

here is the wilton,

i pulled a huge hose reel that will post tommorrow, i know nothing about it

 

[trailwart]

it was sad trashing out this job. years and years of collecting just left behind. made out good on the job though with this stuff, still have about 1200#s of clean copper to take in. alot of usefull stuff got scrapped but we had a deadline.

 

[scott37300]

Would you mind sharing what kind of scrapping project you were doing that got you so many different nice things?

 

[Arne73]

Nice score-
I can't believe you drew a line tho, it looks like you took it all!!

 

[trailwart]

we scrapped 12 ton, and the scrap job was forclosure, 2 barns in farm area.

 

[arkangel06]

Things like this are always sad for me it hard to throw something out you know is not garbage.

 

[trailwart]

found date on the wilton, 9-52

also the 1 vise with the steel base plate attatched, i can only make out what i think says, rock

here is the hose reel, not sure of make/brand, but is big and heavy. looks like 3/4 line size.

 

[cowboy73]

FREE?!! Dude you ****. Very cool score.

 

[jethro29]

how do you say it? oh yeah YOU ****! nice haul, thanks for sharing the picks

 

[terrancelee]

we scrapped 12 ton, and the scrap job was forclosure, 2 barns in farm area.

So, someone lost their farm, and instead of being able to sell this stuff to maybe keep that from happening, the bank just said scrap it all. That's fkd up.

Sometimes I hate 'the man'.

 

[Lump]

VERY nice score, Trailwort! You definitely ****!

 

[never enuf time]

What part of michigan was this in ? Over here by Flint/Northern Detroit their are a lot of auctions/sales with tons of good stuff, but I can't even look at them or craigslist as I am just lucky to pay my bills. Nice score !!!

the one thing about these foreclosure trash outs is its a slow process. usually you have to be at least 3 months behind before the process starts. usually takes 6 months before sheriff sale, then there is a 6 month redemption period. usually a year before you are out. then usually 6 months after that is when trash out is done. the former owners have alot of time, usually a year from first month behind to remove there stuff, or sell it to make good with the banks. it is a sad situation people loosing there homes, with this job we dont know the circumstances or people that lived in these places. this is the first job we have done that everything was left behind, dishes in the sink and cabinets and a newspaper on the counter top from 2008, t.v's in all the rooms and all furniture left, dressers full of clothes. its almost like they hopped in a car one day and never came back. this one was strange for sure. most these jobs, only thing left is trash/garbage that is hauled straight to the dump.

also the 1 vise with the steel base plate attatched, i can only make out what i think says, rock

Probably Rock Island, Amazing scores by the way!

-Dane

 

[trailwart]

rock island looks like it, thanks.

ok, was going thru some more stuff today and i think i found the coolest piece from this haul.

i think this is an ax head

did i mention that it is stone. i think this might be older than my grandads ax i have

 

[evintho]

Very nice score! I like the Wilton, parts bin and air hose reel! And, don't discount those board games. Look on the boxes to see what the dates are. Anything pre-1980 will sell on Ebay. I used to go to garage sales and pick up pre-1980 board games for 25 cents then resell them on Ebay for $25-$35! List 'em for 99 cents and let the market set the price!

 

[trailwart]

dates on the games were 1962 for waterloo and the others were 1964 and 1965.most likely will hold on to them. i have pack rat syndrome.

 

[caseyjw]

looks like an arbor press fitted with a hole punch die
