Title: Antique show finds
Post by: lptools on January 20, 2018, 11:18:37 AM
Hello, The sun was shining here in Upstate NY, so it was time to get out of the house, & go the the winter antiques show. On the left is a cast iron Star Nail Cup, for the shop. Moving right are 4 Stanley items, No. 75 Rabbet Plane in original box, still had the grease paper, a rusty No. 3 Smooth plane, good knob & tote, good project for the tumbler , a No. 25 Bevel Square missing the pivot bolt, and a 36G Level 12" size, good vials & rotating covers. Bottom left is a very clean Channellock 420 Pliers in the original box. Bottom center are what I am guessing/hoping are founders tools, and bottom right is a Never Slip Lifter. Regards, Lou

Yep, good eye Stan.

Good score Lou. Makes me wish there was an antique show somewhere around here. Best we got is the antique store downtown, but I've already pretty much cleaned out their selection of tools.  :/

Three most important parts of a cast iron cook stove: lifer, leg, and poker.   ;--)
