The Plainville Turkey Farm sold their operation several years ago. I guess they still had some leftover stuff and a lot of furniture and housewares. More tools than I expected. I used this box to carry the tools while I shopped. Box and all for $5!
As found condition except to use a rag to read the markings.

Starting left - Unknown small hammer with clamp - What the heck?
Tiny ornate drill in working condition - can't see any markings.
Top to bottom, Master Steel Box - Master Metal Products, Buffalo NY.
Nicholson No.10 hacksaw - this is the heaviest hacksaw I've ever seen. The backbone is solid 3/16" thick. I think I just found my ultimate hacksaw.
Proto 243 channel lock pliers.
S-K flat blade screwdriver 70086.
Williams Superrench 1092F thin 5/8 + 11/16
BLUEPOINTS - CHICAG - yes the O in Chicago is missing in action. 3/8 + 7/16.
Snap-On OEX100 5/16 - the very old style script.
Craftsman CircleH female 1/2 drive
On the right. Stanley 1299
Vlchek Standard 1/4 punch
Craftsman 3/16 taper punch
Little hammer, prybar - Gerson Co. Boston 26, Warranted Forged Steel, Made In U.S.A. I'm guessing this is a promo - they seem to have been knifemakers?

Very nice Al! I think the drill is a Millers Falls. Look at the 04.

I believe that is a hammer/adjustable wrench combo.
I have one like it, but can not remember if the hammer is the same style, I had found the patent,
but where did I put it ???

The little prybar hammer was used on wooden crates - typically fruit and veggies. I have a couple one of which my grandfather used when he worked in the supermarket business.

Amecks, check patent number 55107 May 19, 1866
L.S. & E.G. Hoyt, from Croton Falls, N.Y.
CLEAN IT AND HANG IT ON YOUR WALL, IT'S COOL.

Nice finds!! The hammer / wrench combo is neat.

Hello, Al. Nice finds. I was out there a few months ago, fun place to pick!! Regards, Lou

That Hoyt patent hammer/wrench is sweet, and a hard one to find nowadays. Congrats!

Mike and turnnut, thanks for identifying the Millers Falls drill and the Hoyt hammer wrench. I'm very pleased with how old both are especially the 1866 patent wrench.
Plyerman is plying me to own the Hoyt! I'm sure something can be worked out.

I'm hoping so. Mine is an 11-inch, but I'm guessing yours measures about 9-1/4"? It also looks like the pivoting jaw on yours is the opposite "hand" as mine.
