There are two Iron Age wrenches,  #2 and #3 in the right side column. What is different between them? Very nice display. Thanks for posting it.

Those are actually Planet Jr wrenches. One has a vertical bar after the "JR". The other has just a period.

VERY nice!!
Even with all that I have myself, this is one board that I can look at and still say I need quite a few of these. I just won't pay the money a lot of cutouts demand.

Its took awhile to amass all these. I didn't pay full price for most of them. Searching ebay for poor listings helped. Some I just got good deals on. The King Corn Silo I picked up for $75 at a swap meet. The COMET was found on a Canadian website for $40. Deals are out there.

Most definitely the deals are out there. I've picked up a lot of pretty rare stuff for next to nothing.  I got the Litchfield S real cheap on a buy it now on ebay a few years ago, and picked up a few others here and there locally. I think I have most of the more common cutouts now. I've never really stressed the cutouts for my own collection though. I've really turned to more NY companies, Deere (of course) and anything else that I like the looks of or the price is so good that I have to buy it. I avoid IHC and Ford stuff like it's the plague, so sick of auctioneers and others people thinking that that stuff is so great when 99% of it is so common that it isn't hardly worth anything but scrap prices.

I avoid those myself. I like the cutouts. And the rare and odd. I'm still partial to the TEBBETTS cause of the rarity. And the King Corn silos for the same reason. Ill post a couple of my other favs here in a bit.

Thanks Carl.  Sorry for the brain fart. See your John Wayne quote for an explanation.

That's ok John. The Iron Age and the planet Jr are almost exactly the same in shape. Easy to confuse.
