Saw a plastic bucket filled with rusty tools. The sign said "bucket & contents $10" I didn't dig too deep but decided it was worth 10 bucks.
Here's what was in it.








Guy must have been a tin knocker, lots of snips and other sheet metal tools








They wanted a buck for this tin sign, got them to throw it in as part of the $10 deal

Milk crate full, now bucket full!
The Free Beer sign is certainly a keeper.

Definitely worth the price.  I want the free beer today, though, not tomorrow.

That's a good score!  Looks like you a set as far a tin snips go.

I"d say you got a good deal, those big iron tin bending pliers, like to see those in action.   Why oh why do they put things that rust in a plastic bucket, then set it in the rain?  I was at an estate sale on saturday, a tag sale, and an electric drill came home with me.  It even works.

Yeah John, those tin bending pliers caught my eye too.  Biggest I've seen.
