Title: Ignition and misc.
Post by: jimwrench on November 29, 2011, 07:26:52 PM: Bought a little steel sewing machine box at auction yesterday and found these little fellows inside. Since our sewing machine has neither a distributor or a spark plug I must assume box was storing nonsewing related items.
Recognize three in upper left as ignition sets and three bottom left are Durochrome (3/8 oew) Barcalo Buffalo 5/16-13/32: and USMC 243H. Others are misc ignition pieces. Ain't no shoes on our Singer either.

The bottom pic, third wrench down on the right, SOE with handhole, any idea what that is for? I have one also....Originally I thought it was a micrometer wrench, but it is too big....

(Sorry Stony, it doesn't fit the Clicker ; P)
