Visited the antique mall. Figured they might have restocked, I was right. Found several things I wanted but the asking prices were just too high, for me that is. First I spied a Bemis&Call S-handled adjustable. Really large head on wrench of comparable 12 inch size. Then I noticed the jaws. The fixed jaw was machined back at a 15degree angle. The movable jaw has serrations on it, so its a pipe wrench, neat, but pricey for me. In a bucket was a 15 inch pipe wrench by Smith, with the Perfect handle, overall good, but again pricey. Great, smooth and straight drawknife, no hammering on the back, ever, but $20 when I usually get them for $4. Stuck a Norton oil stone, in the box, in the cart too. Pulled out an excellent Fairmount 9 inch monkey wrench, the kind that usually says auto on the handle. Then a bag of Bonney sockets, from the 40s or older. Then a vise, Littlestown just like one I got in the summer, except this bolts to the bench and the previous one swivels, so I have a pair. The best deal of the night was a Husky tool box, with tote. With a Husky half inch drive rather, extensions, and sliding T handle, and what looks like a set of Husky sockets! Figured for the price it needed a new home! Was a good warm feeling driving home.
