Title: Antique Acres....THE WEEKEND....OH MY!!!!
Post by: dimwittedmoose51 on August 20, 2012, 10:38:46 AM
As more vendors rolled in and set up, the flea market was looking more like a Sanford and Son convention with trailers full of old stuff.  I was particularly amused by one vendor that had tables of old pop bottles...an old Mtn. Dew bottle that had the the "Filled by Ed and Jean" schtick on it was "available" for $15.  I didn't have the heart to tell him that I'd scored two of them for $6 a mere couple of months ago.  Two was my limit....

Photos of the first load from Shade Tree as well as some other small grabs as time allowed, this was pretty much everything from Saturday hunting.  Photos are only80k each, so until I get the new PC, the quality will suffer a bit.  Probably have about $75 in all 10 of these pictures.

They are in no particular order...

DBE's
P&C N-85
Chrome Molybdumen(Billings?)  5/8"x11/16"(actually  Vlchek as it turns out)
2 Plomb 8182's and an 8162
Billings 9028A
Super Quality(Indestro?) 734
Forged Alloy Steel(Indestro?) 5/8"x11/16"
Fairmount 1/2"x7/16"
SK M-1214 
Of to the right is a starter/manifold wrench from Lectrolite

Oily, the photos are pretty crappy until I get a better PC or maybe a laptop.  We're going shopping tomorrow.  Our current hard drive is circa 2004. I did snag 5 near new Thorsen 3/4 Drive sockets for $3 each and a really cool little 1/4" drive Thorsen rat, but i may have already sent that to you.  Also snagged some wizard for the pops.  Really glad I waitedtil after the AA sale as it was fruitful for both of us.  There's more, but until i get back to my old email program, I'm having trouble contacting some folks that I need to.

Out

Thanks Chopper.  I finally got the photos of the Sunday stuff to where I can get them to TT.  Oily's stuff is pretty much in the upper left corner area, if he doesn't already have these V series and Thorsen stuff.  Sorry for the wait, but hopefully the clarity will be better.  I'll do the descriptions with the closeups.  Remember, Mr. Shade Tree sold me all this for $25......

Good looking 3/4" drive sockets.  I'm curious on that "gray" box with the Thorsen 1/4" ratty.  I've seen shades of green and black as Thorsen box colors, but no gray as of yet.  If you recall - What did the markings look like on the tools (=Thorsen=, no "=", slanted script, MFD over USA)?
