I posted some of these over on Tool Talk, but thought i might share them here, too.   A few old Kennedy tool boxes and some tools that are currently hiding in them.   Yes, that's a drawknife in the one with the various hammers.   the rules are for scale.   The inside micrometer was in the first box i ever got which had been left in a house we moved into.

ewwwww...

OOOHHH! a slide rule! I still have one floating around here someplace!

 

Some nice drafting tools, too!

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

My thought, exactly!

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.

 

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?

cool...

now pick up the flag...

and don't do that again...

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.

It sure beat carrying an Abacus around.
