Dog that ole foot adze and wranches cleaned up nice.

Thanks B.H.

I been collecting files with not so common tang stamps and foreign made ones as well.....

Nice Files, Dog.

I picked up some riffler files last year at an estate sale, and have used them a couple of times. I looked for a stamp on some of them, but couldn't find one anywhere. I figured they were cheap Harbor Freight or something like that. I decided to knock a little rust off the handles last week, and lo and behold they all said "Made in England", along with some numbers. Have a few 6 inch and some 7 inch.

Very Unk! What a great score, in the end

My favorites for cutting rabbets are the Stanley 78 at rear with fence and depth stop, and the Stanley 92 shoulder plane for cleaning up the corners of rabbets and dadoes.

Nice planes, OC! I need to find me a nice 78.

I picked up this No. 93 last year.

Very slick #93 Unk!

I found a Swiss made file and this is the ONLY one I have ever seen made in Switzerland. My only other recent find was this hand forged hatchet made from a ball peen hammer.

This was at the bottom of a junk box I bought. At first, I thought this was a key type of opener used to open can foods. Kind of like what I remember as coming on Spam and other canned meats, crackers, etc.. I'm not so sure about that now. Comes in its own leather case and has writing on it. I'm sure the word invisible is on it, but not so sure about the other wording. Maybe part of a larger picnic set at one time? I dunno - any guesses. I'll work on getting more wording from it. There are also patent numbers, I believe. About 1½ long.

Well, it's an invisible cigar holder. I don't understand how it's invisible or how it would hold a cigar, but you'll never know what you'll find in the bottom of a box.

While these tools aren't as old as others posted I have had them for at least 30 years, so .......

I have to think these are the finest pry bars to be had. As a home remodeler carpenter they are a treasure.
The longest one is 36". This is my second 36 incher. The first one, as they say from where I'm from "got legs".
How can anyone steal another mans tools! I wouldn't be without it. I looked them up and bought another and
bought the others that they $old. They're kind of expensive but worth every dime to a working carpenter.
Pry bars, big deal, right. These will never let you down. Just the best.

No clue what this is but it looks cool...

Hi Bob

This website has some instructions included on how to use it.

But I still can't picture how to use it. I was going to make a joke about Bill Clinton and his in-depth knowledge of unique cigar holders, but decided against it.

Seemed like a too insert like what a swisher sweet comes with but reusable on larger cigars.

You won't find these at the local big box.

Ohhh - it has a hole through it! duh! Couldn't see it in any of the pictures. Thanks TD - I'm not a smoker...... and I'm a little slow.
