Title: Country Estate sale buys
Post by: Lostmind on August 19, 2013, 06:43:01 PM

Not what I went after. Stood in line 40 minutes waiting for the start. A middle age women, very quick on her feet , beat me to it. So I settled on these , as long as I was there. Some nice items include
Duro
Westline set with holder
Fairmont
Cornwell
Armstrong
IHC
Craftsman C and underline
Ford
CE billings
Trimo
W
The Duro has a complete set of square drive sockets , and I think a set of 6 point sockets
Also has an alemite fitting socket and a valve grind socket and flex joint.
pretty complete for the age.

And some boxes , plus a bunch of no name wrenches I think came from auto and tractor tool kits.
I plan on selling most of this , so if you see something you like , PM me.
Enjoy
Roy

So - if you can tell us without the crying starting up again - what was it you were aiming to get before you got beat out?

A full set of Alemite grease guns from a lube rack , circa 1930's. 6 different with syphon gun.
I 'm guessing she had instructions , not something the women normally go for.

Indeed not.

I guess you weren't close enough to trip her? You could have sprinted to the gold while the old gal was scrambling to her feet...

Still, you managed to snag some nice consolation prizes.
