Title: Estate Sale Feb 12, 2022
Post by: Yadda on February 12, 2022, 10:25:18 PM
Today’s estate sale buys.  Lots of NOS or almost NOS tools and some nice rust.  Price per piece was around $2.50.  17 pounds.   So many great items Craftsman, Stanley, Thorsen, Barcalo, diamond, Crescent, Penncraft, Mossberg, HD Smith and others.

Nice haul.  I don't spy the Thorsen involved unless it is the flex head ratchet.

Good eye!  The flex head ratchet and the the 3/8 breaker bar are Thorsen.

Another good eye, yes, It is a Diamond C718 , 18 inch wrench.  I don't think it was ever used.  More pics to come.  :grin:

Nice lot!  I like the 18 Diamond and the small adjustables at bottom left.  Would like to see close-ups.  Also the adjustable under the 6"  Diamalloy - is that a pipe wrench or a nut/bolt wrench?.  And what make is the 4" adjustable? Good haul!

Hi AL,

The 6 incher under the Diamalloy is a Gellman Polly. It is a nut bolt adjustable.  The two 4 inch adjustables are a 9913 Penncraft and 704 Proto.

Lots of pictures coming.

Nice haul. Does the "Ford" wrench have the Ford script logo?  Quiz>>> Do you know what the square lug on the end of the handle is used for?

Yes it has a script Ford and some original paint.  Not sure about the end, but someone smart will wander by and enlighten us before I can Google it.  :grin:

Ford 9 1/2 Auto Wrench. Script Ford logo.  The M is I believe for Moore Drop Forge the manufacturer.  The extension from the bottom is for the oil drain plug.

Diamond Horseshoe C718, 18 inch smooth jaw adjustable wrench.  Per Alloy Artifacts the “No Hammering” warning indicates a manufacture date around 1983 or later. No marks on the jaws. Probably never used.

Nice group to add to the collection. If you are interested in re-homing the Penncraft 4 inch I would pony up for it.

Those hacksaw blade holders look way better than the plastic [insert negative word here] I've seen before.

I'm happy with it for now, but 'll keep that in mind.   Any idea who made it?

Pistol grip keyhole saws.  I don’t need them, but I like the shape.  Boys and their guns?  Probably Millers Falls, Corsair by Great Neck and Stanley Handyman H1275.

Two Stanley and one Craftsman mini hacksaws.  Aluminum frame. 10 inch blades fit perfectly.
