Some wierd stuff from the weekend

A nail puller for the real pro!
http://www.oldtoolphotos.com/toolphoto.asp?photo=258 Chrome and
nickleplate, spring loaded jaws, but alas the maker wanted to remain
anonymous. Any info? I scoped out the "nail puller" book on abebooks,
but posponed that decision till I'm further down that slippery
slope....It is a dilemma. Should a cabinetmaker even have a nail puller?

at 39 pages to this tome, no mention of "color photos", but rather
focusing on patent dates and numbers...I'm thinking that this is a
rehash of marginal and easily obtainable info.Anybody care to comment on
this POD tome?

A huge block mount snip......?glass cutter

and the black knight back saw #55.......another 55 to confuse the
Stanley collectors..took me 20 minutes to decipher the etch...hence
the green tape note...

handle included. Methinks i saw "sheffield" amidst the rust.

Maker is unkown...any hints forthcoming?

and a Stanley 12 type2.scraper (sorry-no photo)
