Decided to take a drive this afternoon with the family to an indoor flea market not far from home. Found a few good deals. Worth the trip, I think.
-9 inch auto wrench with the laminated moving jaw, don't see a whole lot in good shape like this one, jaws meet perfectly--$1
-cool retro Skyline Bottle Boy opener/corkscrew/can opener tool (I collect openers, too!)-$1
-Utica 6.5 inch parallel jaw pliers. I've seen Sargent ones, but never a Utica in my travels--$1
-PEXTO tinsmiths riveting hammer, about 10-12 oz w/original handle -- $2
-Newer Disston(HKP) No. K-40? double edge pruning saw in good shape --$3
Even a blind hog will find an acorn if he roots long enough......lol.
You are right the Utica pliers are a little rare;at least in my experience. I just went out and checked 55 pair of parralel jaw pliers in my collection and not a one was by Utica. I've got Bernards,Schollhorns, and Sargents but no Uticas.

Oh NO! Another pair of pliers to look for!
