I've been meaning to post some worthy tools for some time, but life intervened with other demands. Here's some tools I would own and use, a pretty good variety and represents the pick of the pickings at several flea markets and sales this summer. All prices are plus shipping. See PM instructions and payment terms at the bottom of the post.
I try and price for users, and likely could do better on ebay but choose not to deal with them, so some good value here for users.
Pictures can be found at this Flickr album, pics are in the order of my descriptions below. https://www.flickr.com/photos/9433588@N0...0856712908
Let's start with some Yankee drivers, in the pick from right to left: 130A (comes with a spring but old timers removed them, this one is removed) a #30A with the spring, both of these are in very nice condition; then a not often found #35, SOLD original North Bros manufacture, with a bit, this was the smallest driver they made. All work like they should. Take your pick for $15 each.
Continuing to the left, is an absolute super crispy #135 in the box, with a bit, zero apologies, you don't find them this nice very often. SOLD $28. Teaser pic:

Next are some dividers, all high quality makers, from left to right: Union Tool 8"; Union 6"; Starrett 6" and a 7" SOLD solid leg style with fine adjustment wheel. Take your pick of any of these for $15 each.

Next are some eggbeaters, all of which have chucks that work like they should, all have the double drive gearing, an indication of quality, and all by quality makers. Buy with confidence.
the first of these are the Millers Falls #2A, very, very crispy, great condition and all original except for the side chef's hat handle, it was missing it and I replaced it with one from the bone yard. As nice as the come. SOLD $45. Above it in the pic is a Millers Falls #5, good condition, works smoothly, quality maker, with the original side handle often missing, SOLD $30. These two make a good set of a medium and smaller drill set. Take 'em both for $70....
Next pic is of another very crispy Stanley #624, same size as the MF #2, all original including the side handle; partial Stanley decal, wood is very nice as well. $35.
Last but not least is a pair of Millers Falls #77 and #77A (it has more red paint on it) drills, very nice quality smaller drill, again, chucks are good and both have good wood, including side handle; dual gearing, quality eggbeaters, take your pick for $25. Teaser pics

Next up are three saw sets, all have good anvils and strikers that are not buggered up, and all work as they should and are original. From left to right: Millers Falls #214; not often found, I buy every one I can get, use one myself, an excellent set which many prefer over Stanleys, yours for SOLD $30; then we have two Stanley #42 sets, they've banged around in tool boxes but both work as they should, take your pic for $25 each One sold, one still available. teaser pic:

Next pic, here's a totally crispy Record A151 flat bottom spokeshave, this one is UK made (not the asian stuff Irwin is peddling nowadays), still has factory grind on the blade; if I had the box this would be NOS quality, yours for SOLD $38.pic

Next are two Stanley #80 scrapers, both have "Triangle" logo, so 20's vintage, the front one has a short Sweetheart (SW) blade, the back one has one made from a handsaw plate, old timers always did that, and they work well if sharpened properly; soles are good on both. Take your pick for $35. Back one Sold, front one available Teaser pic:

Now for brace bits. All of these have good flute life and the lead screws are not all buggered up, so they are the pick of my hunt as I pick these up one or two at a time. The first set is a set of 11 Irwin pattern bits, missing only the 11 and 13 (not much used anyway), mixed set of Irwin manufacture and others, yours for SOLD $55. The second is a set of 8 bits, a 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16, most often used bits, yours for SOLD $40.
Next is an Irwin #2 adjustable bit, bores 7/8 to 3 inch holes, has two inserts, in the original box, in very nice condition with little use at all. Crisp, yours for $22. Teaser pics:

Last but not least are three braces, from left to right: Yankee 2101A 12" throw brace; the cadillac of braces, best bar none, works as it should, will take brace bits and round bits as well, clean user tool, yours for SOLD $40. Next is a Craftsman (Millers Falls manufacture) #4240 10" brace; quality chuck and enclosed ratchet are indicias of quality, great brace, yours for $25.

As always, first PM with an unequivocal "I'll take it" gets priority, and PLEASE include your full shipping address so I can quote shipping so we can avoid multiple PM exchanges.
Payment by USPS money order please, unless I know you from the forum then checks are just fine, I don't have paypal or any other EFT technology so don't ask, I'm old school and an old dog who can't learn new tricks, so my apologies to all in advance.
I'll ship when I get your mail payment and PM you when shipped so you'll know when to expect the tools.
Again, tools priced for users that I would own (If I didn't already have them... :-) .... ).
Thanks for looking.
