Second sale of the day we went to, this morning....4 items = $4.00:eek:

two were a little small..
409612
Screwdriver is a North Bros. No. 30A, 3 patent date( spring is bad) and the square has a "Winchester" Trade Mark Made in USA etch. That saw plate with the nib?
409613
belongs to the big rip saw...5-1/2 points..
409614
Bolts, but no medallion....
409615
Split nuts, at that. The smaller Panel saw?
409616
8 point, WS medallion, yet has an etch..inside a banner is "SIMONDS SAW CO."
No cracks in either handle, no bends nor kinks in the plates. Handles are a tad small for my hands...only getting 3 fingers in there...

Not too bad of a morning....despite be a very breezy 50 degrees outside?
Looks like i have some clean up to do..:cool:

Steve, that ripsaw is a real beauty – I'm thinking maybe English or may be one of the smaller US manufacturers like Harvey Peace Vulcan Saw Works?

Best, Mike
