Today's Finds 5AUG12
« on: August 05, 2012, 02:18:40 PM »
Here are today's finds from several flea markets we visited.  They are, in order of descent:

1.   Two De Laval Cream Separator tools; an 8-inch combination tool (No. 4131) and a 7 3/8" DOE wrench (No. 490).

2.   An Allen Junior Key Kit #664 from the 1960s, containing 9 Allen wrenches (Missing ZIP code on back of package suggests date).

3.   A Billings & Spencer "A" pocket adjustable. This one has traces of original black finish.

4.   A PEXTO 12-inch monkey wrench of the "Samson" design.

Been very slim around here! All the good stuff is back East, I guess.

Not a bad haul, but lots of flea market to me, means lots of walking, so I'm sure you earned them.   Those little pocket adjustables are just darn neat.   I notice the allen package has the federal stock number on it, wonder why?

Bob:

It's not very long: 4 1/4 inches.

John:

As I understand it, the Federal Stock Number indicates that this Allen wrench kit  was in the Federal Supply System at one time maybe 50 (or more) years ago.
