pawn shop today

[john k]

Today I found myself in the city, sold some scrap, and realized I was ten blocks from my near favorite pawn shop.  I been good lately and had not been in there since spring.   I spend near a half hour digging thru a bin of sockets, one of wrenches, another of pliers(mostly chinese), and did make up a near handful.  Spread across the bins were several Crescent COE wrenches, looked new, just Crescent, and the size, good chrome, sure looked like Asian made?  What I took to the counter was, a Mac wood handle Philips no.2,   Kraeuter scrolling pliers, JP Daniels standard pliers, and a very nice vintage wood handle blade screwdriver.   I offered two dollars and they took it.  In the past ten years I've probably carried 50lbs of tools out of this place, and a chain saw or two.   The Mac screwdriver was like new, probably dates to the 70s, the other one to the 40s.  Did see a Dayton wrench, some rough Lectrolite, Easco, no Plumb, Bonney, or Williams.  Was worth the stop, yeah?

Definitely worth it.
I scored some Select Steel wrenches for M_fumich Saturday.

Yeah worth it.  I only scored a cast double end spanner for a dollar.  I'll post tomorrow to see if an ID.
