Snagged two things from the little antique mall.   Wooden box, with lid, with the big color OVB logo inside the lid.  All the auger bits are present,  8 or so under the lid and the rest of the set in a swing out lower drawer.   All but 2 are OVB.  It has been repaired, and patched, but inside look nice.   It came with a Stanley brace drill, with the owners name carved,  from Drake, Colorado,  wonder how it made it to Iowa?  Sorry for no pics, but am sure most of you are familiar with Stanley brace drills.  Paid too much but haven't bought anything out of the ordinary in a month.

 John, you saw it, you liked it & you bought it, that is what counts.

if you had left it there, you may have thought a few times that you should have bought it.

when you pay for a meal, soon it would be gone, those tools are still in your collection,
