Title: Yard sale finds, and a thought !
Post by: RedVise on June 25, 2011, 07:14:57 PM
Was able to hit the yard sales on Friday, and Sat this weekend !
Picked up the "normal" interesting mix of tools.
While cleaning them I noticed the mix I picked up at an actual estate sales (as many are labeled such and are not).
At .50 a tool I keep picking them up, but when I had a chance to look over the mix the old gent owned, it was very interesting.
No more than 2 of any one brand, paint the ends yellow and mark the size to make it easier for you to see them.
Garage looked like he was a user, not a polisher.  I hope the guy was happy some one got them that will appreciate them.

So anyways, the good stuff !
1. 2 tappet, superwrench, vlchek, Barcalo, Herblock, and a no name obstruction.
2. K-D ratchets, SK flare, Pipemaster from Erie Tool Works, Huot drill index.

 The next two groups from the old gent.
3. from the top, a very small OBE, cant decipher the name (will get back on that one), Dunlap, Cornwell, Cman, Vlchek, B;oe Point Supreme, Vlcheck, and a no name DBE (Indestro look)
4. Crestaloy, Proto adjustables, shiny new Armstrong, maybe 3 plombs(?), and Indestro

Coupled with picking up an adjustable 4" Williams, I started the weekend off great!
