Title: Barcalo wrench set
Post by: john k on March 11, 2012, 12:41:50 PM
Having put off thinning out the stuff on the shelves for too long, am starting light.  This is a complete original Barcalo Buffalo wrench set with metal holder of the same name.   No stamps, intials, or hammer marks.  Sizes from 5/16 to 3/4, all there, all original.  Asking $25, and should fit in a flat rate box.

This is a great set, from the thirties.
If  I  didn't own two already (one painted ,one nickel plated) I  would buy it in an heartbeat.
Great price.

The red spot of rust is greatly magnified by the camera.   These have a somewhat rough casting, the sides and tooth of the jaws are smooth, machine marks visible, I did no refurbishing of them, am quite certain they have never been derusted.  The smaller 3 have much smooth name stamps than the larger two.

The jaws actually show little if any use, the holder has lots of drawer rash, maybe it spent its life in an onboard tool box.

Those pics are much better, and the tools look to be in better shape than they first appeared, if you can tell me how much shipping will be I will most likley buy them.
