Title: Antique and Unusual Wrenches by Shulz's
Post by: UncleBill on March 05, 2018, 03:07:16 PM

I received a phone call the other week and was asked "Hey, I heard you buy old tools and I have a bunch and even a couple of old tool guides. Do you have time to stop by?". My reply - "Be there in 5 minutes :)".

Lucky find for me.  I have never owned this one before and it has been fun to look at.  It even has the original small correction insert.

That's nifty.  Nice to see all the work that couple put in staying "in the family" - the wrench nut family.  Did any tools follow you home, or just the guide?

I mostly got 50’s and 60’s tools but I did get around 30 to 40 old wrenches but nothing that stood out except a Planet JR. 3.

That book is my bible, along with the newsletters. Good find!

( https://www.flickr.com/photos/mvwcnews/albums/72157666110673200 ) is a digitized version ( with some interposed updates & corrections).   My working copy is chock full of such notes, even beyond what I could fit in the above cited digitization.  A bunch of the original tools shown in the book (items from Hilary Klein's collection ) will be in this year's "wrenchingnews" auction following the 2018 spring MVWC meeting in York, NE. ( http://wrenchingnews.com/2018-york-auction/catalog.html )  Pull out the book, go through the photos of the auction inventory & see how many you can find.
