On the 4th of July, we stopped at the antique mall, sale going on. I noticed prices were marked down, plus a 15% reduction across the board for the sale. First I pulled a Wico distributor cap out of a glass case, is for my John Deere B. There was a bundle of files, wrapped and tied with string, $1.50, all Nicholson. A good .50 cal. ammo can for $ 7.00. A 7 inch long Stilson pipe wrench with wood handle, for $4. Older oil can with cap attached to spout $2. A Yankee North Bros. screwdriver model 135, $4 and I don't have that one yet. Then spied a wood grain carpenters tool box, covered in tin, good condition, very clean inside, will hold 2 handsaws in the lid. It is of the same brand and but different series as one I got last summer. Also got a Disston hand saw D-100 straight no rust, etch visible and tote in near perfect shape, a little pricier, but best I've seen in a year or two. Then stopped at a garage sale just a block from work, during the week. Turns out this was a get rid of everything we're moving sale. Got 3 buck saws for a dollar per, complete, not rusty. A Monarch breast drill that may be unused! Dirty as could be, but even the paint is nice underneath. $2. Then yesterday, Sat. stopped at a mini flea in town. Excess stuff picked up from sales. Box of a dozen screwdrivers, and misc. Box of a dozen pliers and misc. 2 no.4 planes. 2 quart oil spout type oil cans, 3 pump oilers, a mini oil can. A large yellow 1940s fog lamp. In the boxes were odd fasteners, some mini tools, and something kinda unusual. A white plastic box the size of an Iphone, SCHICK electric shaver lube kit. Tiny screwdriver inside, a tube of lube, and a tiny clear plastic bottle of fine oil. Then the MACK truck special tool. Spent about 12 dollars there. Not sure there are any great deals out there*. Now I'm trying to figure out where to put all this stuff. Am going to stay home next weekend.
