Title: Today's scores
Post by: Northwoods on September 06, 2019, 09:31:03 PM

Had a disappointing day yesterday; all I got was a three wing Craftsman like this:  https://www.ebay.com/c/2254316338
Today, I got a 6" X 8" double headed adjustable Crescent wrench,
A 7-piece set of Craftsman nut drivers--the ones with color-coded handles
 a Blackhawk ratchet like this:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACKHAWK-34945-3-8-Drive-Reversing-Ratchet-7-inch/113879165259?hash=item1a83ba294b:g:mwEAAOSwXOtdcSbR
Three 3/8" breaker bars in Craftsman, Challenger, and New Britain,
Two John Deere cast iron corn planter lids (One is from John Deere and Mansur Company)
A nice Coleman lamp No. 152 with two globes:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coleman-Lamp-Model-152-Antique-RARE-/193011893014?hash=item2cf067c316%3Ag%3A8twAAOSwWkNdOI9v&nma=true&si=mKUlcmIRLkgir1Qb%252BqmrHelxr2k%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
A common round-based gooseneck desk lamp.
I know some of this is not tool related, but I spent a total of $25 on the haul.
Some days I am the bug, but today I was the windshield.

Nice one.   We got one of the 3 wing craftsman (1/2 inch) in the restore and i had priced it at $15 and it was gone today, so i must have made someone happy. :smiley:

I've got a trio of Coleman lanterns. Love em.

They serve as emergency monsoon lighting.

I forgot to mention that as I was grubbing through the plastic tub and found the two JD lids, I found a small, old cannon? howitzer? shell.
It was about 8" long and 2" across.  It seemed kinda heavy, and I took a look at the back end.  That sucker had not (I repeat NOT) been fired.
I gave it to the owner, but I should have looked it over more closely.  It had a blunt end and was a rimfire.  It looked a lot like a giant .22 short.
I could kick myself for not checking it for writing or other ID.
Wonder where it is now....
