Man!  I once went to an estate sale with everything in boxes for $2 each box, but the boxes didn't have anything like that kind of riches!  I did score a nice Stanley clamp-on vise that made the trip worthwhile.  You scored.

I see some great stuff in that pile Chilly!  :grin:

Nice find. Great chisel, love the handle shape.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Chilly, the 2 pictures of the first "spirit levels" on the first page remind me of a mason's level, with concave ends to hold a string-wrap that'd be let out and anchored at each end to align, say, a brick.

Bear,

They are regular levels. The larger is 9" long and quite heavy. It is a plumb & level type.
The smaller one is 6" or so and is also pretty heavy.

The Stanley line levels I have, and have seen, are about 3/4" square and maybe 3-4" long.

I should dig out a group of examples for infp.
