NEW old , very old, sockets
« on: August 31, 2011, 10:40:01 PM »
I just scored a few really random sockets. A few of them are "Proto" sockets that measure 3 1/4  inches long/tall. 
"proto 1/2'   , 7401 proto13/16,  1 3/4
5012 proto 3/8
5014 proto 7/16
adjustable wrench, auto 9,  32
""  no. 17
s-k wayne pliers, 7305
AWESOME wood handled adj. wrench, Whitman and Barnes wrench (6  3/4 inch with jaws closed)
It was a good day..... it would be a lot better if I had pictures, but I don't.... you all know that by now.
OH, and I did buy a 2 inch Stanley chisel.
Yes, it was a decent day!
cheers, bird

Good stuff!  I recently bought a 1 3/4 inch D.R. Barton firmer chisel, a companion to my 1 1/4 inch D.R. Barton.  Love 'em.
