A few items from about three different estate sales and an antique store:
386996
The spoke shave came from the antique store that wasn't open but the guy next door sometimes watches it for the owner. He even gave us a discount for what we bought. The spoke shave amazed me at how well it could take a shaving without even hitting the stones.
The chisel has an almost worn off UNION Hardware stamp on the socket. It cost a whole buck at a long established permanent floating estate sale. Has a bit of pitting, but that isn't a bother on this one.
The "Tire Service Gauge," the block plane and the mitre square, with fine adjustment at 45/135º & 90º, all came from the same estate sale.
BTW, the tire gauge seems to work quite well. Not bad for $2.
The calipers came from an estate sale that is on the road next to mine a couple of miles into the woods. There were a few machine tools, but the caliper was about the only thing to really want to come home with me.
