    An odd ruler and perhaps the nicest set of auger bits I have ever seen.

    I took a drive to a fellow I bought an 1890's toolbox from to look through what he considered "junk"

    I found a Disston panel saw with a nib, a Disston tenon saw, Stanley trammel points, starrett protractor and combination square, hand screws, auger bits, draw knives, etc. Anything related to woodworking I pretty much grabbed.

    The trammel points came on an odd ruler. I've never seen one like this nor do I know how to use it or what it's for.

    But, the highlight of the night was the box of auger bits I found. I've never seen one in the original cardboard box, let alone this condition. Truly a gem.

    Great finds will come to those who are willing to look.

    I have the same set in the same condition from a Midwest Tool Collectors meet about ten years ago. My box and labels are identical. Honestly, I rarely use my brace and bits.
