Title: First Barn Sale of Year
Post by: amecks on March 11, 2022, 02:37:00 PM

The clean-out boys opened the barn this weekend.  I get out of work by 11AM so I went straight up there (only 2 miles from home).  Found some cool stuff and cheap.

Left to risght;  Grinding wheel facer - Huntington, Urbana, Ohio also marked "Desmond No 1" - is that the size of the star wheels?
Warnock strap wrench "PAT'D JUNE 5 00" - one position for the strap bale.  I have a Warnock with 3 holes.  I found a new strap for it but the damaged original was much heavier.
BIG reamer J.E. 1378 marked 3 T.P.F. - has been home modded with a pressed-on handle and cross bar - 9/16" to 1-3/16".  What specific purpose?
Practically new file card.
Clean-Fit Made In USA wire brush - handle unscrews and fits other wire brushes I have - very useful find.
File handle
Williams "Waterpump Superrench" 8944 Alloy 1-3/8".
Across bottom of photo is a Ken-Tool T-23 tire iron or is this tool only for fitting the ring on/off the rim?
I bought a very large round Heller file 5/8 diameter but the first 4 inches is damaged.

Good score!! Maybe a Ball Joint Reamer?

I can't tell the exact shape of the reamer shaft, with that T handle pushed on.  It is not a Morse taper but it does have, I think, a tang.

I like the wheel dresser.  Urbana, Ohio was quite a foundry town.  I've seen a lot of cast iron by different Urbana based companies.   My folks used to go to a monthly flea market there.   My wife & I went once with them & once just us.

 I probably would have bought everything that you did.  Pretty good finds.  Around here, we're still a few months out until the fleas start.

I'm only guessing it has a short square shank, so a hand reamer.

Maybe the reamer is for cleaning battery terminal clamps?
