Giveaway for cost of postage - Dunlap punch
« on: August 30, 2018, 02:18:18 PM »
I have a Dunlap taper punch 7/32" x 4-13/16" long.  The tip is Less than 7/32" indicating it is not abused.  Also the square profile is clean on the hammered end.  I touched it up only lightly.  Plating is dull with some light rust but I did wire wheel it lightly.
Marked Dunlap in oval shape letters, a small square mark that I can't make out - possibly a square with N inside, 7/32 and Made In U.S.A.
Maybe it will complete a set for someone?

I would be interested in adding that punch to my Dunlap collection. Could you send it to my P.O. box? I have a PayPal account.

Don's punch is in the mail.  Don, that is a sweet looking tool box and contents.  What are the silver cylinders in the top left and what treasure is in the red wood box?

Looks like a small torch.

Papaw is correct about the alcohol torch. The red box is a tap and die set.

Papaw is correct about the alcohol torch.
One of the many photographs that made me grateful that some old practices are in the past was one of someone using one of those to solder an electrical connection in a single-gang box.  Talk about tight quarters for a flame!

And, to add to the fun, you would then wrap the connection with sticky splicing tape, followed by friction tape.

I'm quite happy with my wire nuts, thank you.
