[I can fix anything]

My oldest modern stuff, but I have tools that go back a thousand years or more.

 

[spongerich]

Here's some of mine.

Lady Leg Calipers:

Found in my barn today:

My 1941 Wilton:

71 Snap-On's Not quite vintage, but by the time my boy is old enough to own them, they will be.

Mini Vises - C. 1890

'54 Craftsman Jointer/Planer:

Gotta love the engine turned detail on that one. Weighs a freaking ton... as much as a pallet of "Central Machinery" jointers.

I have a few snap-on extensions that I picked up for 13.50 for 4 of them. They have never been used.

I think it's safe to say.... We need pictures!



Here's a few of mine.
I have lots of other stuff, I'll have to snap some more pictures tomorrow.

Here's something handed down from my grandfather
It's only marked SARGENT

I must resist looking at these pictures,I must resist...No more old rusty tools like vises,air tools,jacks,and dear lord no more rusty hammers,it will kill me!

 

[Flash21]

Just curious, what is the concensus on what is considered 'vintage' 30+ years old? 40+?

I have collected these for about 20 years. Here are my most recent finds.

Neolithic paleo-indian killing tools. All hand made in the USA

Good question...
When I here "vintage", I think about 30 years old.
When I here "antique", I think about 70 years old.

Don't know for sure though.

I was having a hard time figuring out what you could have thats that old!

Thanks for posting them!

I plan on picking up a new Hickory handle at Ace tomorrow, the 24 oz. has a good feel, I think I'll like it.

That thing is Awesome! How in Hell did you move it? Love this thread!

 

[TCM]

Great thread, here's a sample of a few things that i stumbled upon today. There are some random pliers, 80+ year old snap on stuff from what i can tell after a quick internet research, Bonney Mack wrenches and some cool round handle blue point box ends...

 

[Addrock]

I love all of this but the Monarch is my favorite! Thanks everyone for sharing.
