The wife sent me a link to this garage sale. I would like to see it but it is an hour drive, and to be there at 9:00 I would have to miss work. the prices I see look good, I just don't know the really old stuff.
I see things I would buy, and I have been skunked the last few garage sales.
takes a bit to load, several pictures.

Looks like some good stuff. I would love to go, but missing work would be the dealbreaker for me.
-
I see lots of great stuff, but way too far away for me. He needs to be a member of Tool Talk!

Nothing is very valuable in poor condition.
condition condition condition
Buy -nothing- broken or missing major parts.
OK I see
bb gun/.... Looks to be an early Daisy could be a couple hundred easy
beam drill/............ hand crank for driving big bits though thick wood. couple hundred if complete and functional
castor set/............ 4 or 5 glass bottles in a silver plated stand
unbroken bottles with tops 10 apiece, more if matching set
scholhorn/............ parallel jaw pliers, look to be big 8"s
glass jar Daisy hand crank butter churn in a large size/........ easy 100 if complete and not broken
The meat saws are exceptional, as well as the sharpening steels. Pro butcher stuff.
Not valuable but desirable
There is a spokeshave and a scraper roped together. Some saws under the table.
I don't see cutout wrenches but look for big bold embossings since there are bunch of implement wrenches shown
There is a metal bodied smooth plane that looks to be short. If its well under 8" long, its worth something
There are two ordinary hand crank grinders, but then there is an oddball with chains and such I would be looking at the oddball
I need both a rt and left baseball glove, if med sized, very high quality, well broken in and well cared for. I'd go all the way to $3 apiece if I had to
Griswold cast iron pans can be valuable with the early mark. All others not so much.

Three things I like right off:
No baby or women's clothes.
9AM SHARP. No early birds.
Tons of good lookin old stuff!

what are these two items?
-
The top brace - top on the stack - looks like a 14" or so brace, nice to have; right under it is a Yankee 2100 or 2101 brace, also nice to have. If you get them for $5 each, contact me.

@fflintstone, the top one is a fence stretcher and that would be my guess on the bottom one as well.

my guess would be the holes are just to make it lighter to carry working fence line all day????
I did see a wire puller in all that stuff as well.
sadly, unless I miss work I cant go to the sale at all till friday.
-
CRAP! they added more more pics, one item makes me really want to go but it look like I cant go till friday :(

I can tell you this, when I walked in, I would have said; "close the doors, and add it up, I'll take it all.

As it turned out I didn’t go. It was just too far for me for the timing. I am in some short term financial poo, and I was just plane tired that day. Sometimes I finish my 8-10 hours at work and just go home and take a 2 hour nap.
I love tools but I am a tool user not a collector and for me in my physical condition if I need to plane the side of a door, I am grabbing a power planer not a beautiful vintage hand plane. Since I have most of what I need I like buying tools for others. If 6 different people said please go and pick me up “XYZ widget” I would have made more of an effort to go. Standing and walking thru a large sale is hard for me. I have a mobility scooter for flea markets.
