good or bad, I'm not sure yet, paid $30 for everything, if anyone sees anything that might be a gloat in the making let me know :)

Looks like a deal to me...the plane looks like it would be worth the $30!

Just what I was going to say, picked one up myself about 2 weeks ago, and it was $27.

Wow, let's see... if those two eggbeaters are any good, I'd say at least ten bucks each. If the brace is a decent brand, at least $15 worth right there. The chisel in the foreground is probably at least worth ten bucks.

Is that a Yankee push drill behind the pipe wrench?

Yeah, I'd say ya done good there. ;)

Besides a lot of good user tools the chisel in the foreground looks like a Stanley 750 - sharpen it well - it's worth more than money.

The vice the plane and the brace are prolly worth that each.

The Stanley Vise and the brace look good

Brace looks a lot like my US made vintage "Pexto" # 5310

The chisel is a stanley, the brace doesn't have any manufacturere or marking on it, and niether does the plane other than "made in USA". Any thoughs what these might be?

As far as the saws, one is E.C Atkins and 2 Disston, any thoughts?:confused:

that clothespin is a pretty nice touch, I'll probably spend some time refinishing that beauty.

If that is a RIDGID aluminum pipe wrench you have your money back there. I would say you did well provided you clean them up and put them to work. :D

There are several good tutoriald on cleaning and sharpening the saws. It isn't hard. Even I can do it.

I bet if you were truly questioning this, you could list every single one of these on the Bay separately with starting bid of .01 plus shipping and no reserve and make a lot more than $30 back!
