Nothing great, nor all that bad, either:rolleyes:
A town nearby was having a Village-wide Yard Sale event....so, off to the land of Airstream we went...
Stopped at one sale along the way, got a few packs of brass hinges...$1 a pack....
Got to the town of Jackson Center, Oh a tad late in the day, shopped around....one place had a 4x 24" backsaw...anda coping saw....$1.55 so far ....plus the $2 for the hinges..
387967
Price of the coping saw had been reduced from $0.50 to a nickel....needs a blade. Saw was straight, and well sharpened....
Shopped some more...LOTS of clothes, nick-knacks..and
There was a mitre box, that would have fit the backsaw I just bought....but...guide posts were missing, everything looking like it had set outside all spring....too many parts missing..passed on it.
More places to shop...was kind of a hot day...stopped at this one place..well, two were side by side...Boss went to the one, and I shopped for clamps..
387968387969
$4 each...BESSEY 1/2" pipe clamp, 36" pipe.....Hargrave 600, 3/4" pipe clamp, with 48" pipe...yet there was another item on that table..
Kept walking away from it..after the third try....asked for a price....fellow seemed stuck on that $$ mark....so, this thing came home with me..
387970
Yeah, like I really needed another #4 sized plane....
387971
It was missing the "V" line decal....everything else was there....Millers Falls No. 900.
Boss wanted to go to the big city...so...wound up getting the oil changed in the van while there spent more on the oil change, than I did rust hunting...
Have since added a blade to the coping saw. Have cleaned the iron...and found out it is thicker by 1/2 than the iron from the 1901 Sargent 408 I have...."Solid Tool Steel".
May get it rehabbed later...may find a use for the pipe clamps, too.
Not too bad of a day..:rolleyes:
