steven newman Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Might have found a few items. For the Princely sum of $2....a Simonsen Toolbox.   Had a few things inside, tooSorry, no tools ( of course) just a lot of trays.   That red, METAL label was found inside the box.  Super glue to re-attach it.  NextTwo saws for parts ( more on THAT in a moment)That hammer head ($0.50 !!!) a $6 square, and a $0.50 chisel.  The two saws and the chisel came to $6.  Now, about them "parts"That brass medallion say Diamond Edge.  Bolts are brass. Handle does have a crack or three. Plate has an etch, but BFD, the plate has a crack, the tooth line in a big curve in the middle, and the teeth (those that are left) are of the "Cow & Calf" variety.   AKA....JUNK. The other saw, though it had a few bends in the plate, had a very GOOD handle i could clean up, and a good set of saw BOLTS and a medallion.   Cleaned them up, installed on the saw I was rebuildingand a shot of that hammerhead. This is the rebuilt saw I was working on.  The handle I found down in the shop?  Needed wood filler in too many spots, plus, it was plywood!  Like this one more better. The Chisel will need me to turn a handle for it.  3/4" Craftsman, with a wood handle held together with black tape.   That little square has no markings.  It does have lots of Brass & Walnut. But...$6??? Can't win every deal, even for a Bandit.... Handle for the 4 pounder hammer will be a store bought affair, mainly for the steel wedges. Day one is in the books, not too bad a day? Planer? I'm the 'planer', and these are what I use...
