A picker friend of mine ran across a lady who's husband had passed away. Her husband was a Stanley tool collector. When he saw the stuff he had he thought of me. So at this point I am going to just give you a sample of some of the stuff I got so far. I'm having to purchase it as I can. I was able to pick through the levels and get the ones I wanted.

 

I will show you a closer view and break them out in groups.

 

More picking to come.

I see another display case in your future!

I have a couple that are empty right now just waiting to go into the new office.

I love that style level, those just scream strength, rigid, accuracy, and quality. Nice find John

That looks like some good stuff!  The picking can be so much fun!

It really can be a lot of fun. I love the hunt!

That is quite a haul. Is the one in the box new?

I thought the same Lew until I saw his below post...so it tells me (2) things:

  (1) He was planning well in advance for finds like this

 (2) Had the new addition office planned to house the the additional display case(s) which leads to #3...

 (3) I see another addition coming to the recent shop addition, therefore...

@Ron Dudelston better get your insulation install clothes and tools ready for a road trip

 

Great find John...could not have landed in more appropriate hands for appreciation and preservation than yours!

Yes it is a new one. It is a commentary one.

 

Nice Haul!

Glad to see them going to a good home.
