I Knew It Was Going to be Fun at the Estate Sale Today .....

[lilrichard2]

when I arrived early and the dealer handed this to me and asked if I knew what it was.





I replied yes and offered to buy all of those that he could find.


The item that I went for, a Fray corner bit brace, is shown below, along with a Pexto draw knife.





And I certainly couldn't turn down a boxed set of Irwins. A little cleaning on both the bits and the box, they'll be ready for a new home.








I never pass up Starrett Combo sets, especially when they are in the original box.





Several smalls for the shop - dolly block, two pieces of marine hardware, Sheffield screwdriver that will be used in a Stanley 45 set, small ball peen hammer head (I collect these), and a boxed set of chuck keys.





Finally, a couple of small Starrett machinist scales for use in my shop.

Nice haul.

My MF eggbeater came with a top hat. A lot don't though.

[DaveParkis]

Nice. I fear the season is over around here.

Those hook rules are a good find...I keep one in the desk drawer and use it often.

I was trying to figure out why photo 4 looked odd to me.

The box appears to have been user-modified -- all the others I have ever seen have spring clips holding the bits in place.
