Several hundred estate tools in the last month, but last Saturday was the best brag. My favorite type of sale - lots of furniture, housewares, and collectibles but only two boxes of tools. Sold by the box.

Several of these are unknowns to me, I'll be posting questions in other forums.

Less than my favorite price for things @ < $0.40 ea.

Tools sold by the box; it don't get no better than that! Looks like a couple of fancy spirit levels near the top of your first picture too.
My friends call me Bob. My wife calls me a lot worse.

I like the looks of that bent wratchet in the 3rd pic of the original post, all the way to the right. And the saw in the last picture.

Pretty sweet haul you got there!

#4, but I have an issue with the sweetheart blade. I think this plane is an earlier type.

I kinda like Bog tools. I think that socket is permanently attached.

Lots of good stuff. Is there a name on the ignition kit roll?

rusty

That crosshatch background fill was popular with Union , and they had a bad habit of not stamping well...
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

No name on roll, just olive drab. Great condition. Three of the wrenches had names of manufactures they fit on, one has a broken tip:
