Yankee
Screwdriver / Drill Countertop Display
If condition were
to win prizes, this piece would get the Gold Medal. It is so pristine and
bright that it is breathtaking. Pieces of this caliber and quality appear
rarely and disappear just as quickly. This opportunity will not repeat itself
anytime soon so.
Good . . . . . . $1295.00 SOLD
Emmert
Patternmakers Vice
This is the large size vice that these folks produced, and it has the ability to
hold just about anything, in any position, that you could stick in it. Everything
is here including the angle plate, the adjusting rod and the bracket for it.
This vice is NOS as in never been used and has just some minor spots of rust on
the bar from storage. The jaws still have the original grease on them.
The handle and the rod are still in their original paper wrappings taped together.
There is nothing about this one that you will not like.
Good . . . . . . $995.00 SOLD
Millers
Falls #217 Machinist Vise in Original Box
There is nothing about this one that you will not like.
Good . . . . . . $55.00 SOLD
Greeley
Speed Indicator Not all speed indicators
were created equal. This is a rare and unusual model that is seldom
found. Do not confuse this with the typical Starrett or other
common models you see all the time. Those in the know know, and
those who do not overprice their common ones.
Good . . . . . . $395.00 SOLD
Litner
and Sporborg Pistol Grip Speed Indicator This is one of the rarest and most
desirable speed indicators that was produced during the later part of the 19th
century, and the condition of this one is superb. No collection of these
interesting and graphic devices can be considered complete without the full
set of these in the middle. This example has a serial #of 866 stamped into the
bottom of the grip, and the Gutta-Percha grips are flawless as is the patent
info and inventors name that is engraved into them. The 4 Patent dates
range from 1889 thru 1894. On the other side is the inventors name Harvey
Hubbell. The nickel plating is 98% + and there will be no disappointments
with any aspect of the condition of this piece, truly a top shelf piece.
Display it proudly!!
Good . . . . . $295.00 SOLD
Brown & Barry Patented Marking / Mortise Gauge
The Brown & Berry 5 stem marking gauge is one of the rarest
and most unique of all patented mortise& marking gauges. The inventors must
have had a lot going on in their minds or business to have come up with an idea
for a marking gauge with 5 moveable stems. I imagine many potential users
could not handle the concept. Overall the condition is very nice. It had a light coat of protective finish applied 20 some years ago, but that will come off. Super rare, and few known!!!
Good + ..... $1095.00 SOLD!
Patented Marking and Mortise Gauge
This is a rare twist lock patent marking gauge. The white residue
comes of easily with any solvent. The head has an oval
shape hole that locks to the round bar with a twist. A neat idea. Good +. . . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!
Patented
Apl'd For Marking and Mortise Gauge
This is a rare patented marking / mortise gauge with several fences and
moving bars. The condition is super.
Excellent . . . . . . . $195.00 SOLD!
Goodell Pratt #340 Clapboard / Siding
Gage
Here
is a tool you use to see from time to time. They are also a tool that everyone
use to ask what is that. I imagine if you handed one to a Vinyl siding guy
today he would not have a clue. For making a perfect cut up next to the window
trim or corner boards. Today they run that piece over the siding. I have never seen either Goodell Pratt's or Stanley's version in
the box before. A rare example.
Fine . . . . . $195.00 SOLD
Millers Falls #88 Jointer Fence
This is in like new condition. .
Fine . . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!
Primitive
Shovel & Fork
The shovel is carved
from 1 piece of wood. It is American, or at least was bought as such back
in the 70's. I am not sure of the intended purpose of the fork. Probably to lift some light material like hay into the wagon. It is in very nice condition and not a form you find or see very often. Neat!!
Shovel . . . Good+ ..... $225.00 SOLD!
Fork ....... Good+ ..... $125.00 SOLD!!
19th Century Mitre Jack I bought this
woodworking miter jack back in
the 80's at an old couples house here in CA who invited us over. The collector
bought it from me, and it was on display in their store for the next 25 years or
so. It is nicely made of
glued up stock, and not beat up or damaged. The screw works well..
They were used to hold work and for cleaning cut angles with a plane. A nice piece. Good + . . . . . $95 HOLD!
5
Cast Iron File / Tool Handles
These are handy little things. I use them on my workbench. Nice!.
Good + . . . . . $12.00 / Choice ALL SOLD!!
Vintage Race Knife 4
Nice condition, Nice form, Nice! Good + . . . . . $55.00 SOLD!
Folding Blade Race Knife
This
is a super piece, in super condition. Note the file work and chamfered
edges. The second folding blade is an unusual feature. The mark says George Grau Barman, or Darmen. Not much
turned up about him or the firm with a Google Search. These were used
to mark lumber with things like ID marks, or I have been told for such
things as marking the water line on a hull in boatbuilding.
Good + . . . . . $85.00 SOLD!
Furst
& Bradley #83 Cast Iron Implement / Tractor Seat
The reference i have on these lists this as a #10 on the rarity scale.
There is a hairline through the center bolt hole but that ends at the first
slots you see. A rare seat in pretty nice condition.
Good . . . . . $695.00 SOLD!
Book
Binders / Leather Working Tools
At least one is marked.
These were bought back in the 70's in the bay area and could have originated from
there, or been brought to this coast by Dave Paling and sold here. There are
15 or more different ones. Most look to still be usable and not worn out.
Tools like this were used to do leather book bindings and decoration on high end
books in the 18th & early 19th century. Look at the pics to see close-ups
of smaller groupings.
Good . . . . .$295.00 / Lot
SOLD!
Freemont
Cutting Dies This looks to be a starter set
of various profile leather or tin cutters that looks to have seen little use. The leatherette case
is falling apart, but the cutters themse4lves look like new.
Good + . . . . . $55.00 / Lot
SOLD!
Western
Electric Tool Kit This is a
nice little set that i would imagine dates from the 20's or 30's
from the markings on the Stanley screwdriver that is included. I
imagine that this was a repairman's kit for radios, or telephones
that Western Electric was selling servicing at this time. . It is
not all beat up and it looks to all be here.
Good +. . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!
