Halfway decent turnout of vendors this morning!
-
Ooh Ooh 8 pointers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
nice stuff,what brand are the adj leg dividers....if thats what there're called
-
Very Very Nice! I've never seen files like those before.
-
Upon closer examination I guess they are not files. Screwdrivers maybe. Any idea as to the timeline and use of these. (other then to tighten and loosen screws)
-
What is the hinged piece with 3 segments on the righthand side of the first picture?
-
Hello, Lewill2 . That is a Mattson Treble Hook Mold!
-
Hello, Analog. I bought them thinking the same, solid steel screwdrivers. I am still looking for info on them . I know that Crescent & Vlchek made solid steel/iron screwdrivers, but a different profile!
-
Hello, Skip . I love the 8 point sockets, I still use them on occasion!
-
Hello, international3414. I believe the dividers are Starrett, will know a little more once I get them cleaned up!!

Almost certainly Starrett 85 series dividers, likely the 85A (shorter of the two offerings in this series).
They're completely worthless, and I'll be happy to take them off your hands...no, actually, they command a silly price on eBay. I've been casually watching for a pair of the 85A dividers for ages, and, on eBay, they shoot past what I'm willing to offer almost immediately.
Silly price, but they are some of the best, maybe THE best, dividers ever.

Hello, Bill. Thanks for the info!! I will post a pic as soon as I get them cleaned up!
-
Or I could save you all that trouble cleaning them up...
-
That divider with the removable tips is a handy tool. I have one like it. You can replace one point with a pencil to use as a compass. I also made an insert holding a razor knife tip to use as a gasket cutting compass.

The small Xacto knife handles should fit right in - the clamps hold 5/16" diameter rods, pencils, etc.
-
Hello, Bill. That's a new one for me! Thanks for the info!
-
You said haveway decent turnout of vendors, I say an awesome turnout, I've never seen a full set or close to a full set of 8 point sockets offered at any sale I've ever been to. Very good find you luckey bu%^&*.
-
Hello gibsontool. The sockets actually came from the same guy that I buy from every week, the other vendors were a bonus!!
-
Halfway decent turnout of vendors this morning!
Those 8pt sockets are a very nice find that are not often seen as a set. The beauty part of those being a set like that can sometimes be found dirt cheap. I found and bought an old set like that from a pawn shop about 30 years ago very cheap since they were 8 pt. I have used several of those sizes through the years and never regretted my purchase. Very well done indeed!
-
Hello, Uncle Buck. Glad you found a set , too! And I still use the ones that I have!!
-
Those two big like new wrenches in the back caught my eye. Followed by the 1/4" ratchet wrench. Who made those?
-
Hello Model 12. The 2 big wrenches are Proto , the Breaker Bar is a Bonney, and the ratchet is Craftsman.
