Title: Saturdays tools
Post by: john k on September 29, 2013, 09:33:07 PM
This Saturday we toured the nearby antique mall.   Big place but really only three stalls  with sure thing tool selections.  In one I found a 10 inch adjustable, PEXTO.   In steel, not chrome, just the name doesn't come up very often.  Then I ran across a Snap-on 500 screwdriver with silverish handle, hoping a Snap-on type will chime in.  Then two tiny oil cans, one is an Eagle brand.   Then I walked back to the other stall, picked up a nice sharpening stone.   Looked at some wrenches, Craftsman, older but only one was a V.   Sizes from 7/16- 1 inch, but figured $28 was too high.  I did pick up another oil can, a pump oiler, a BIG pump oiler, unused, will hold over a quart, Eagle brand.  Wife bought some lawn ornaments which doubled what I got.   Inside a locked case was another Craftsman wrench.  1920s, black, raised letters, about 7/8 and 1 inch, it looked like about $15.   Got some tools, am happy.   Had a good dinner at Cracker Barrel.
