Valve spring compressor HD smith, but not perfect handle

[skipskip]

We just started going thru  a big pile o' stuff.

owner was/is a collector, but ran out of room at his mountain 'cabin'.

signs, soda coolers, tools, car parts, garage equipment, and quite a lot of mouse poop

some of it is pretty cool.

this was near  the top of one box

H. D. SMITH "ULTIMATE" shows up in 1922 AUTOMOBILE TRADE DIRECTORY,  and they were still selling the "PERFECT HANDLE" lever & chain tool.
