Over the weekend I got a few minutes while I was out at a job to stop and do a bit of Patriot Picking. I ran across these KEEN KUTTER jewels. I got this really neat poster although it is a REPO it is still very cool. But one of the items I found that is really nice is the complete set of Boring Bits in the original cloth roll. Each of the bits had the KEEN KUTTER logo on the bit. I couldn't get a good picture with my phone so I'll see if I can get one better to show you. And then I got this really nice Oak KEEN KUTTER box. The box held the K12 D set, which was 6 knives and 6 forks. Here is a picture of what should have been in the box. Sometimes you find the real thing and sometimes there are REPO's but they are all still very cool. Believe it or not some of the REPO stuff is collectable. Well just a bit of some Patriot Picking. Till the next time, Keep on Patriot Picking!!

Last weekend my wife and I celebrated our 41st anniversary and we did so by picking our way to Nashville and then a little more picking on the way home. I did take her out for a very nice dinner at Stone River Steak house in Franklin, TN so it wasn't all about picking and she likes it as much as I do. I didn't take pictures of her treasures, but she got quite a few deals. She like dishes and pottery. I found a variety of things a several different places along the way. So I found that Keen Kutter metal sign and most likely it is repo but it was a cool sign and I wanted to put it up in the shop. Tool signs are hard to find so I try to get them when I can. I also got the Screw and Bolt signs which are double sided. I ran across this one place that had a great collection of really nice tools. They were locked in a glass cabinet. I ask the person to unlock it and told her I was going to be looking in there for a while. She ask if she needed to get the mop to clean up the drool. I first got this nice Keen Kutter Sliding T Bevel square. It is metal and nickel plated. Just below the screw it has a patent date of Oct 29, 07 stamped. I also got this Lufkin No. 014 Caliper ruler. What I thought was really cool about it is the fact that they also put the Stanley number next to their number. Shows you how popular and big Stanley was even them. I have this same small caliper rule in the Stanley 136. I then pulled out this really nice Stanley No. 53 1/2 ruler. When I started college I wanted to be an Architect so this ruler was kind of neat to find. The No 53 1/2 was made from 1879 to 1942. The rule was beveled on the inside edges so the numbers would be close to the page. This ruler has the brass arched ends and brass joints and ends. The patina is really nice and it is very readable. I also saw this nice No. 66 1/2 boxwood ruler that was made from 1870 to 1957. What makes it special it is one of only three 3' four fold rulers to survive WW II. This one happens to be from the Sweet Heart era 1922 to 1935 so this one would have been Pre WW II. This one also had the brass arched ends. This one wasn't cleaned by someone. I have the Stanley No 36 Cast Iron level in the 18" and 12" and it was nice to find this one in the 6" size and all of the vials intact and working. Then I found this Stanley folding ruler with Green Ends. I had just been looking through one of my original Stanley catalogs a week earlier and saw this information on the Green End rulers. So when I saw this Stanley Green end folding ruler at a very cheap price in the cabinet I had to get it out and add to the collection. And then I found my real prize of this pick. I saw this really nice Stanley No. 98 and picked it up and checked it out. No cracks and the finish is in good condition. I had to include it, I just couldn't leave it there. They made these in right and left handed models. The No. 99 is the left side model. I am looking for one of those to add to the group and to make this complete by having a right and left model. This little plane was made from 1896 to 1942. This one appears to be a Type 1a which was made from 1905 to 1907. One of the things about this little plane is the knob is the same size and a perfect replacement if you need a knob for a Stanley No. 1 bench plane. The knob can be worth as much or more than the plane itself. So I have added a few more items to the latest display cabinet in the house. This is the ruler shelf. All of the catalogs are original catalogs and the oldest one is a Stanley 1914 catalog. So that was my anniversary weekend picking and we had the best time out with each other looking for those special treasures. Till next time.... Patriot Picking

Here are a few of the items I picked over the past few weeks while out rummaging the country side. I picked these two Dietz lanterns up at different places and times but thought they were both pretty nice. The one on the right has a red lens and around the bottom of the base says, Property of Detroit Edison Co. The Red one has a Copper Base and is stamped "Fire Dept" around the base. The red Fire Department lantern is circa 1914. I haven't researched the date on the Detroit Edison yet. Oh and both had nice size Wasp nest in them. I also picked up this neat little hand made hatchet/hammer. It appears to have hand forged. It is only about 8 to 10" long. I just liked it and the price was right. I ran across two Stanley No. 25 angle gauges. One is an earlier SW logo that would be early 1920's. It is the small on which is 6". The other is a later when Stanley went to the boxed in logo that is still in use today. It too is a No. 25 and is an 8" model. I had never seen one made just like this and it could be modified but I really liked this Keen Kutter Hatchet. And when I found them there was this really nice shadow box with four original Keen Kutter Price tags displayed. And last but not the least of the finds was this Yankee Awe. It is in nice condition. It simply amazes me at the things you can find when you are just out looking around. I guess I better start on that bigger cabinet or rearrange a few things to better display some of the findings. There will be more, I haven't shared it all with you yet. But until then, I will still be out busy when I can doing some Patriot Picking!
