Hello, Al. The FO had 1000's of tools, owned 2 houses next to each other. Haven't even started looking at the power tools! The cast iron piece is a String or Bobbin Holder from a heavy duty sewing machine.

Awesome score. some kool stuff there, In the second picture what's the piece near the bottom, it's between the file and the nail puller.

Have you ever used one of those Drill Doctor sharpeners? I've heard mixed reviews on them. I see them at flea markets and tag sale around me occasionally. Just wondering if it's worth snagging one.

Hello, gibsontool. The piece you asked about is a Mortise Edge Bolt for a door. I'm guessing Eastlake pattern on the steel.

I’m a big fan of my Drill Doctors. It’s always nice to have sharp drill bits.
