Blow torches:





Now I will have to go back and searched for all the soldering irons I have not taken!

The books - I do love going through them:

Nice gets.

I see these books on "Practical This and That," and I always wonder where the books on "Impractical This and That" got to.  It would be even more fun to find those.

Love the old books!  I tend to accumulate books like that myself.

That Audels is awesome. What year is it from? Graham was a very prolific writer for Audels and wrote quite a few books for them.
All my taste is in my tools.

The Audel's book is a reprint from 1945.

The George Reid on sanitation is a eighteenth edition from 1916.

I do have a collection of old books that I display in an very old wall unit - these are going to look great with the others.

Thanks for the positive repliess.

I really like the old Audel's books.  So much that I keep one set of the carpenter's books (1947 ed) in the house, and a second set in the shop.  I'd like to find the Audel's that covers blacksmithing!
