Found this sale on Craigslist and thought it was a local junktique guy that runs sales from time to time, but this was a couple blocks up the street. The garage was loaded with battery drills, etc, but I found several tool boxes full of old stuff and proceeded to make a pile at the guy's feet that just kept on growing. As more folks showed up, I had to work faster to grab what was there and I came away with a bunch of stuff for $50, a fair amount that will get resold either at Cattle congress or elsewhere. I'll run the photos and then maybe make some comments, but never seen a Gambles/Artisan Tool Box or a pr. of Nicopress crimpers from National Phone Co.

PowrKraft DOE
Bonney DOE
Barcalo Buffalo N-10
Indestro #924
8" w. german Adj. wrench(logo is too faint to pull out)

Haven't gone through the stuff on the extreme left yet, but I did see one old Blue Point in there
The other two tool boxes were a pretty nice Park and a Union.

A few closeups and a couple other photos of stuff from the sale
The TRW fender cover is in near mint shape and I wondered if anyone knew when this was made?? Not really a tool, but many a tool was laid upon it, I'll bet.

Cowabunga!!
What is the deep offset shorty DBE in the extreme upper left of pic #6? The red shelf and orange tray photo? Is that the Indestro #924?
-

Congradulations, you should have made him room to get his car in the garage.

Nice finds

That's the payback for hitting a lot of sales that have zero items you are interested in. When I hear people say they dont like to go to yard/estate sales, I just laugh, more good stuff for me when I hit a good one!!
Enjoy the goodies !!

Bonneyman: The DBE Deep offset is a 3/8x7/16 old Craftsman "Vanadium" series wrench. fair amount of the plating is gone from one side of it, but still very functional. Early enough wrench that I don't think it has numbers on it.

heck of a haul!

Thanks! Awesome haul, sir!

That Powrcraft speeder had to have been made by Wright.
Nice haul...it should take care of your weekly 'fix'.

Well, I need to finish the text on the lower set of photos. We sorta mentioned the TRW Fender Cover, so the next photo had a new(to me) Indestro Auto Tool Kit with the appendage 1/4" hex drive stuff there too. The hex ratchet is not of real high quality IMHO, but since I have no reference as to when this was made, it could be a price point kit. The Auto kit below it I haven't separated out yet to see what's in there.
The tray of old stamped and antique type wrenches(maybe I should call them "non-plated") he originally wanted $5 for the whole tool box full, but that price dropped when he made the "package" deal. There must be 30+ in there, and if any real keepers show up, I'll post separate photos. They're still cool regardless of anonymity or not.
The tray of clamps he wanted a dollar for and that included the tray. No brainer there. Also in the tray was the Schaul plumbing wrench and the Bruno Tools(Beverly Hills CA!!) boring bit. Never heard of them. The bit is either a B-200 or 200-B, I forget. The Speedway Drill was part of round two's purchase which had the two roller stools the drill, and 15 old country and western CD's which set me back another $10. I think I got a Rigid PVC hand saw thrown in too.
The bottom photo has the damaged SnapOn screwdriver, the aforementioned Bluegrass DBE, an 8" adjustable, and a couple of name brand pliers. Those wood trays had shade tree dovetail joints holding them together and when's the last time you someone go to that kind of trouble for storage??? The thumb screw press/ whatever is intriguing, but I'm not sure what you would press with just thumb pressure. It has a point on the threaded shaft like it was there to stick into wood, but the key says not to use a wrench.
I apologize for all the scattered text here, but we have company this weekend and I'm cramming in what I can when I can.

The last tray of wrenches is finally photographed and the whole top row is no-namers as is part of the left side of the bottom row. I think I counted 43 of them in that tray.
Starting from the 3rd or 4th wrench fro the left on the bottom row: There's a Bonney an IH, a Moore, a Lakeside, a Dunlap, another Moore, a Mossberg, a Williams Whitman and Barnes,A Billings and Spencer, a Vlchek, a Ford, an Armstrong(the bigg'un), and 2 more Fords. Now all I have to do is get the 38 wrenches from the ebay box cleaned and photographed and I can start mowing the yard.... nah!!
