2. level, sharpening stone (Carborundum Co.), soldering iron, plumb bob, wooden handle screwdrivers, fid (?)
3. roughly made S wrench with raised X7, small adjustable bit and the largest spiral I have seen, Wizard 40 tooth 1/4 ratchet , MAC extension sporting a SK socket
4. Crafty ball peen, small claw, Pexto brand Stilson, pliers
5. Bonney and Williams speeders, Channellock brake tool, Crusader square
6. Miller Falls egg beater, dont know, Plumb WF and a couple of Billings wrenches
7. adjustable and some pliers, small one is stamped Germany
8. Hinsdale box with a small adjustable, tire patch clamp, top tool has a collet for different inserts, wooden handle screwdriver and awl

I think it was a PICNIC problem... I couldnt do the math and keep uploading more than 800kb and would lose all my work.

Not a phillips, loose shaft, paint splattered, small piece missing off the handle but definitely old.

There's a Hinsdale socket in the box that does not fit any of the holes.
