I recently had a road trip and had time to stop in a few shops. It's just like fishing, everyone knows 'the fishing is probably better over there'. Here's what I got just quickly skimming the tops of the bins. I think I have found a few places that the 'tool pickers' haven't already scoured. In no particular order or preference:
Alden wrenches are awesome cool, well made and a specialty item. You hold them in your hands and you can tell they are spec'd with thoughtful planning and made with care, even if in the PROC :) I like'em.


And some other better known gems for you viewing pleasure:

Whats the deelio with the wrench marked Mopar?
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

I like that B-52 Williams ratchet.  I sold the one I had and have kicked myself since.  Always good to see Thorsen and Wizard stuff surface.  Nice Proto angle wrench too.  There are enough pebble fans I don't need to be one :-)
"FORGED IN THE USA" myself.  Be good to your tools!

I've seen the Mopar wrenches in various threads and forums but this is the first one I've gotten. I don't know who the maker is.

I have, before the great crash, they aren't rare, but not common either.

I suspect they were made by Bonney, but can't prove it...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Great tools kxxr. Especially like the hard to find Proto.
