Some nice drafting tools, too!

Really an odd place to find a draw knife among all these mechanical and machinist tools.

Love seeing these! Awesome set of old Starrett mics and the inside mic set being Lufkin is pretty rare. It's been a long time since I've sen a slide rule & a Post no less along with all the 3 sided drafting/engineers rule. Very cool...

 

I love old tools and I cannot lie.:P

 

EDIT add: Oh...I just went back and saw the old adjustable feed grease pencil---I've got one of those...suppose you can still get re-fills?:)

Never had much use for those but I never had to take calculus either. It was neat to use those before calculators. I remember in college seeing the math people with one on their belt.
