Some of todays finds
« on: May 03, 2015, 06:19:09 PM »
Got these two Bell System pliers;





Herbrand
Proto
Millers Falls
Trimont

$6 for all 4  :grin:




All of this was in a $5 box.




Haven't figured out what the sockets are yet.

Fleet wrench kit, not sure what the number on it is or if they're even Fleet. Wrenches are unmarked.

HeelSpur,

You probably know that the Fleet set is an ignition wrench set, from the points-and-condenser days.  But there may be a couple of new kids who don't, and who are now saying, "points?  condensers?"

I don't recall about Fleet, but I did see unmarked wrench sets like that in mechanics' toolboxes.  Neat little set, and kind of amazing that it's missing just one tool (probably a feeler gauge).

Penens is the name your looking for. I have a similar set of ignition tools by upland forge.

A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.
