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.

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.

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?

Marked as a North Brothers Co.  41 Yankee..

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.

I now have two of the 41s......one came with 6 bits, the other came with just the one stuck in the chuck....First came in a bucket full of stuff for ..$2  latest one cost me $8     All evens out...
