Nice find , always good to have the base along with it! Having the 8 cup bowl is even better!

These ladies are dressed conservatively compared to the many tool co calendars I recall seeing in the 70's and 80's.

Quote from: Bill HoughtonTrying to figure out what the half-dressed lady has to do with wrenches

Using scantily clad young women in advertising is certainly nothing new. It's gone out of favor in some circles. Still very much alive and well in others.

I have always assumed stability and a bit of bragging rights, but there may be a good reason.

That's very cool.

It's always a treat to find one of those "looking for, but cant find" things

This is a Cobbler's nail cup.  Cast iron bowl and stand.  Manufactured by the Star Heel Plate Company.  I've always wanted one, but I didn't think it would happen.  Good fortune smiled on me last week, and this one is mine.  It will be a semi shelf queen sitting in my home office holding my keys, pens, and other pocket carry items.

The boys have the barn open this weekend.  I think they're called ignition pliers?  Utica Tool No. 517-5.  Also Utica Tool snap ring pliers 534-7.  Blackhawk 49980 Stud Remover Tool.  And grand prize - Ridgid Rapidgrip H.D.  10" spring loaded pipe wrench.
