Rust Hunt Results

[Rob Luter]

The last couple of weeks have worked out well. Between a few antiques stores, a flea market, and a church sale I managed to pick up a few good users:

Clean #3 with added (by me) Hock Blade, a #220 with Rosewood Knob, (2) #18 Knuckle Joint, A #102, a #81 Scraper with a Disston Blade, and a #95 Butt Gauge.

An extra crispy clean Keen Kutter KK212 Scraper Plane with 99.999% Japanning and original blade. This is almost like brand new. I feel a little guilty for the deal I got at the church sale but I'm hopeful I'll ultimately be forgiven. I'm having trouble finding much information on this tool and if anyone can offer any I'd appreciate it.

A couple smooth operating eggbeaters, A Millers Falls 2A and a Stanley 624A. I'll try to restore the 2A to "as new" condition.

A sweet little German Jewelers Saw, a Buck Brothers Burnisher, and about the smallest Plumb ball peen hammer I've ever seen. It was too cute to pass up for $0.25.


I hope the good fortune continues.

In August my better half and I are going to the "127 sale" (http://www.127sale.com/), billed as the longest yard sale in America. I hope to find some prizes on that trip too. We saw a show on the travel channel last year that featured the sale and there were a number of tool vendors (crossing my fingers for luck).

Rob, the images failed to display for me. Only see a little white box with red X.

Tom,
This happens to me once in a while when the system forgets to auto magically log me in.

That must have been what happened, 'cause they're showing up fine now.

Nice Bunch of Goodies :)

They look good!

It's hard to find those knuckle joint lever caps with that much nickle left.

The stars must be aligned. I stopped by a little hole in the wall antique store while on a motorcycle ride this afternoon. I traded the guy a $20 bill for a nice Sweetheart era #4 with only superficial rust :D. Of course it has the requisite white and gray paint spatters all over it. I've always wondered how that happens to so many planes........and why socks disappear in the dryer.:confused:

No matter, it will clean up nice.

When the red x's appear it sometimes works to right click over them and then choose "show picture". It's kind of hit and miss.

Just dip the orphaned socks into some spirits and wipe away the paint splatters :D

Everything happens for a purpose....

I never seem to be in the right place at the right time.:( There are a lot of Keen Kutter collectors who would pay top dollar for that KK212.
