3 Yard Sales for Thursday

[dimwittedmoose51]

Eventually I'll get pictures going again, but today the  trip to Hudson yielded an old Reed Pipe Threading tool with about 5 or 6 different sizes.. It's kinda packaged like those old hex drive auto kits whee the bar lays across the frame holding the 4 or 5 dies in the bottom.  Need s a lot of cleaning though.

Second stop was in Evansdale where they were pretty much setting up for the event tomorrow. They let me pick around at what they had out so far and $16 later I had quite a collection of odd old sockets from Williams, Husky Snap on, Apex, PowrKraft C-man, etc. Found a few screwdrivers and hammers, including a really strange looking one  that I assume did double duty as a roofing tool the was it was shaped.  Also found a lighted inspection mirror from Blue Point and an old Dremel engraver still in its box.

The last stop yielded an old McGraw Edison jigsaw still in its box.

Couple more tomorrow to go too, but the big ones are Saturday and it's looking like I'm going to have to work.

After cleaning, I found traces of an antique Craftsman logo, maybe 50's genre.  Grayish paint, what's left of it.  The 5 dies had but 4 collars, so one's either missing or that's all you got in the first place.  The dies are still clearly marked as to what size they are.

Below you'll see the Cool Craftsman Dremel tool I found at a sale on Friday night
