I picked up a great double gear Miller’s Falls egg beater drill - recommended by Tom Fidgen and love it so far. I found all the odd items on my list and only a couple of extras. It was interesting to see how the dust rim was screwed on. The chest lifts were heavy cast lifts that looked of modest quality. The corners of the chest were reinforced with extra wood and hid the joinery, but I suspect the overlapping boards mean that the corners were potentially all nailed together which means this chest was likely built quickly. Saw till was protected by a frame and panel that attempted to dress up the chest. There were 3 layers of tills and at least one division on the bottom to divide the bottom compartment of the chest. The till lid screws were stripped and was removed for the above photo. Sliding Tool Trays or Tills - Nantucket Tool Chest It looks like it was based on traditional designs, made in the 20th century but built a bit more like a modern carpenter with very simple joinery compared to a traditional joiner who more likely would have used dovetails, mortise and tenon etc. While no Anarchist’s tool chests were to be found this year, this solid old chest, presumably from Nantucket given the huge painted label on the front.

Small Traveling Tool ChestĪn interesting commercial tool cabinet made from metal with what looked like mediocre post WWII tools. 1897 Folding Sawing MachineĪ nice oak shave horse or schnitzelbank It was made from heavy oak, pegged and secured with cut nails. It helps hold the saw perpendicular to the tree and allows you to use a lever to push and pull the saw. If you are living in the 1890s and want to use a 2 man saw to fell a large tree and don’t have any friends willing to help, you should check out this ‘Folding Sawing Machine’ from 1897.

Full Case of Shur Stop Glass Ball Fire ExtinguishersĪpparently you could also throw them at the base of a flame - giving them the nickname: ‘Fire Extinguisher Grenade’ 1897 Folding Sawing Machine We’ll often see these over old boilers or up in the attics of old homes. If they were exposed to enough heat the hammer would spring like a mouse trap, smash the glass causing a violent chemical reaction that would remove oxygen from the area and hopefully put out the fire. I never saw a full technician’s case of them before along with several of the holders for them. Neat antique fire extinguisher grenades by ‘Shur Stop’. Interesting trayĪn interesting tool tote/tray that holds the tools off the ground for easier access. 😉 It’s a great event twice a year and well worth the trip if you are into old hand tools.īelow is a highlight reel from this weekend’s show and sale: WorkbenchĪ stout, but short workbench. I rarely if ever go into the actual auction I spend all my time and money out in the parking lot tracking down odd and old tools on my list and all the things I didn’t know I needed until I found them and realized how I could not live without them.
