Does anyone recognize the makers mark on wrench 4?  Looks like a J across an L...maybe???

Hey JAFE,  I live in Mission Viejo, but I was at the old tool swap meet in Culver City.  Are you local?

Jim

Yes but north - San Fernando Valley. I was at Culver City the same time you were. I seem to recall picking up the Sitco but can't remember who was selling it.
All my taste is in my tools.

I believe Joe Huld was selling the Sitco.

  Let me know if you are going to the next old tool meet and I'll make sure to look you up and say hi!

  Do you ever hit the Rose Bowl or Long Beach?

I go to Long Beach pretty regularly. Will be at Pomona this Sunday and Old Tool Pasadena the 12th and Long Beach the day after.

It would be very nice to meet up.

Any good swap meets around N Hollywood area on the weekend of April 16th, 17th? I'll be in the area for work that weekend.

Lewill,

  Long Beach Antique swap would be the closest thing i know of, but it will be a little bit of a drive.

I won't contact till after 8. Most think I'm a bit overzealous and there may be an element of truth to that.

Around here if you don't get to the flea at "0 dark thirty" the vendors have gone around and snapped up all the good stuff amongst themselves.  I'm a bit of a zealot also I guess but hey, it's worked for me!

+1 on the "0 dark thirty" here too.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

There is one vendor who does that a lot and he seems to think I want to hear what great deals he got on the same stuff he's trying to sell me.
