Hello, It was a good weather & good buying weekend here in CNY. On the left is a Union # 60 Adjustable Scraper Plane, back left is a Dial-A-Drill Index, back right is a Stanley 95 Edge Trimming Block Plane with ratty original box. Bottom left is a pretty common Presto Fire Extinguisher. Bottom right is a neat item, J Roe & Sons Inc. Demolition Charge Computing Tape. Regards, Lou
All very nice. The demolition charge tape is a very interesting. Used for calculating pounds of explosives for column diameter?
Hello, Rustyfordgarage. There are a few different tables on the tapes, for steel, masonry, earth, etc., interesting piece. regards. Lou
Definitely an interesting find. I have been accumulating older books on diverse industrial or reference subjects lately, would love to find something on blasting or demolition. I wonder if the Audels books ever covered the subject?

If so, I'm sure the book reviews described the book as "Explosive! A dynamite exposition of the trade!"
Some very nice items there.
