Before the visitor arrives....

Local campground had their annual, one day garage sale event.....meh. Made one stop, and spent $6..

$6, counting the tree ornament the Boss found. Got these home, and gave them a clean up..

Just for scale...that square is a Stanley 10". It even has a patent date. Large bevel has rosewood, with a solid Brass thumbscrew, the smaller one has a brass lever lock. Square has screws to hold the brass plate in place.

Near as I can read the patent date: 12 29 96. Not too bad a morning....:rolleyes:
