September 5, 20169 yr comment_72102 Well, cleaned a few up for Polite Company to view, handled a small chisel to make it usable. Lets start with these..thngs What you see here cost me about $10 today... 3/32" nail set, a 3/16" drill bit ( Craftsman!) and a counter sink bit with no name. $0.75 for these.. A pair of Millers Falls 3/4" wide chisels, one with a fully readable logo. Permaloid handles...$1 each $1 for this block plane iron, with a Stanley "triangle" logo. Might have a plane for this... How many tri squares have a level in the handle? Must be why this was $2? In the first picture, the tool with the ball on the end? Is a Stanley YANKKEE offset, ratcheting screwdriver. No. 3400, even has a patent date. Both "tips" are for slotted screws. Ok. the next one came home in two pieces. I had to fit a new handle to this 3/8" wide chisel.. I think I paid a dollar for each? This is a Buck Brothers 3/8" Mortise chisel Says so right on the back. Chisel will need a bit more work to bring it up to "Ready" status. Have started to grind a new edge, and work on the back a bit. This might take a while. Haven't done anything to the red chisels, other than give them a trip on the wire wheel...were a bit rusty. Out of the $10...I got a quarter back. Three different stops. No wonder I'm worn out. Had to walk today.....sheesh. Report
September 5, 20169 yr comment_72110 You had to walk? And carry all that old iron? At least your wallet was lighter. Good finds, though. I like that 3/8 mortise chisel, especially. Report
September 5, 20169 yr comment_72115 Well since I am still up had to take a peek! Good 'picking'...The blade on the tri-square appears to be in remarkable condition. I love the twist bit for a hand brace. I stumbled upon one a while back for a quarter also. It was in pristine condition including the Blue Grass (Hardware) name/logo. Forgot to comment on the Yankee Handyman "cordless drill" you got yesterday. Is it only a Stanley or is it marked North Bros. too? Looked like a model 41? Report

Ooohhh...good eye...I saw it had at least one bit with it...I'll try to get a couple pictures posted soon of my collection. I'm a sucker for these (41's-46's) but refuse to pay more than $5 for one.
