Looking for Friday morning yard sales......not a one was open....most were for Saturday, drat.
Shopped at an old lumberyard that had been turned into an Antique Store. Found a couple Liberty Bell jack planes....seen way too many days in a barn..and they wanted way too much for them...
Thing about this store....they have the "Showroom" where all the prices are too high. Then there is the "Barn" that used to be the wood storage for the lumberyard. IF you can find things in the barn BEFORE they get prepped for the showroom, prices are quite nicely .....LOW. Soooo, dug around a couple aisles of shelves, screwdrivers? Nah. Saws? Not the ones I'm looking for. Ah here's a few things. Took the three items to the front desk to pay for them...$10 plus 70 cents sales tax......sold.
Now what did I find for this high price?
323952
An Eggbeater drill, a Mitre square (?) and a 1/4" wide chisel.
323953
Chisel seems to be a stanley clone, maybe. Has some markings on the blade, none I can find on the socket. The Square merely has Made in USA on the blade. The wood is a brown colour, with a lot of black stripes in the grain. Does have some brass fittings I'll have to polish up. Now, about this eggbeater..
323954323955
The cap on the end of the handle is intact, and there was a few "extras" inside the handle..
323957
Thrre drill points. There is a Made in USA stamped on the crank. No other markings, as of yet. Not sure who made this, or what model it is. A spritz of WD40, and everything spins nicely.
Not too bad a day. Hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow, as there MIGHT just be a decent yard sale out there...
