These two were sold as gear wrenchs at last night auction.Top one is kinda gear wrench but bottom one is not a wrench. Anyone know what it is?
 Outside auction and kindna warm so I passedout( Syncope) While I was laying on gravel lot with three women putting cold clothes on my head I managed to bid on and win a Stanley No5 plane.

Be careful Jim !!

I shot pictures at a local classic car cruise-in today from 6 to about 8:20, and it was hot ! I kept myself hydrated.

What Jimwrench didn't mention was that while he was on the ground, they resold a Stanley #6 that he had already purchased!!!  You gotta watch those auctioneers!!!!!

I was at a temp job last year trying to keep up with the young bucks and got dehydrated. Snuck up on me - that's very unusual. Had blue tunnel vision driving home. Out of whack for about a month after that. I think looking back it was heat stroke.

yup...definitely watch the heat.   I did something like that 35 years ago and had to go home and lay in tub full of ice water to bring my temps down.   not fun at all - surprised they didn't call an ambulance.

Yes -- it has been in a past MVWC Newsletter.   As for the other one, I saw one laying on the shelf the other day -- never have figured out what it came with.
