Title: MVWC Haul
Post by: stanley62 on April 13, 2015, 09:05:50 PM

Well, here is my haul from the Spring MVWC swapmeet /Auction in York.  I'll list the specifics at a later time, but my favorites are the NOXON and COMET cutouts and the (2) Schrader patent wrenches (the fellers at the top with the c shaped handles).

Nice grabs on the Comet and OXO. Happen to know what lot 711 brought? I know I bought a few with some absentee bids and know there were quite a few bargains to be had, like a Deere cutout for $5.

 Don't know what lot 711 brought. But know what 770E brought Brought it home to add to wall décor. Think the cheap JD cutout was broken or I might have napped off.

I think it might have had a small cracked jaw, but even then it's worth $5 all day long. Bring it out here and I'd get 40-50 anywhere I went.

I just picked up a 14" Little Giant 4-way pipe wrench like that last weekend at the flea market. Never saw one before last saturday and now you post a pic of one.

Oldtools, the tool above the Wood is a 11.5" Baxter "S" adjustable.  Its the biggest one I have seen.  It was lot 133 in the auction.

Bonneyman,

  The pliers I think you are talking about are a Vacugrip plier that I believe was used for adjusting "Steeldraulic" brakes on early autos.  It is similar to lot CB 76 item 5 (which was made by Bonney) in the auction.  It went for more than I wanted to pay since I had just purchased the Vacugrip at the swap meet.

The pliers in the second photo that look like this. Proto 234 wrenching pliers, also P&C made them.

Sort of a combination between slip joint and rib joint pliers.

Ebay lists them as "compound leverage" pliers.

That was item 900.  Listed as NO 10 GRIPSO MULTI DUTY - BASFORD S.F. USA PAT. No. 2600512 - - 7.75" different slip joint pliers. Patented by Homer A. Mead of Turlock, California.  Gripso!  What a great tool company name!

I have an unmarked pair.  I've seen P & C., Proto,  and Gripso.  Looks like the patent was licensed  or sold to several manufacturers.   

Item 901 was a P&C version of the same pliers. Listed as  P & C - 1234 - MFG. USA - USA - PAT. No. 2600512 That lisiting mentioned up to 5 different manufacturers of similar pliers. 

I love P & C's Model number 1234.  Classic!

These rarely go cheap on the 'bay.  Usually upwards of $20US.
