I bumped into my son rust hunting at the fleamarket. He had picked up a couple of Stanley planes, #113 circular and a # 8 jointer . Get this, he had his wife packing them! He had paid $25 each for them. I found a dainty 6" plain sleeve (no ratchet) no-name brace in need of wood and a very nice little Millers Fall #77A hand drill.

Nice gets by your son, great prices; and what a noble wife, to carry those things for him (No. 8s are NOT light), so that he could whip out his wallet faster if he found more screaming deals.

Sorry: no pictures, it didn't happen.

Having a son who rust hunts should give you a clue to my age, much too old for computer skills. Besides I'm not sure I could have gotten a photo of his pretty wife packing the #8. As much as we like tool porn, the #113,#8, or the Millers Fall #77A simply don't rate pictures however I wish I could for the 6" brace. The chuck shell with it's octagon head as with the jaws might have suggested a maker. I know I have seen one somewhere, this getting old, but I couldn't find one on the net.
