First bit of fun for August.  The usual mix of user and collectible 
tools, along with the usual oddities.  Stuff has been hard to come by so 
get it quick.

PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items. It's 
easier for me to ship items off of a paid PayPal invoice, especially 
First Class ones.   Checks and money orders are still welcome.

And remember........da more ya buy, the cheaper they fly!

First contact (that is e-mail, or phone) that says I want it gets it.  
Prices do not include shipping.  All items are shipped with Delivery 
Confirmation. Insurance, unless it is a big order or a very fragile item 
is optional. Just let me know. Also, I am shipping a lot more stuff via 
First Class mail. There will be a small amount added to the shipping 
cover the cost of the padded mailer. I don't get them for free.

Please put your name and address in the message. Saves time and email 
traffic!

TWO W Schollhorn 6 Inch Tools.  There is a divider measuring 6" long, an 
outside caliper measuring 6" long, and they weigh 6 1/4 oz unboxed.  
Frank P. Pfleghar and William Schollhorn of New Haven, CT were granted 
Pat. No. 51,967 on Jan. 9, 1866 for the design of these tools.  These 
are in reasonably good condition and were cleaned. There is a little 
frosting and a few small spots of pitting on both.  The joints are both 
good and the locking screws are correct and work.  The tips on the 
divider have the steel points and the tips of the outside caliper are 
good.  These ain't minty but they sure ain't bad. $55.00

Hand Forged Stone Mason Hammer Head.  Measuring 4 7/8" long, the face is 
2 1/16" high, 15/16" wide, the peen is 2" high, and this weighs 2 lbs 13 
1/2 oz unboxed.  The mark looks like Warren.  This is in reasonably good 
condition and was cleaned by someone else. There is some patina but 
these guys were never made real pretty to start with.  The face and were 
dressed recently and the edges are good to go.  The eye is good with no 
cracks that I can see.  This ain't minty but it's sure better than most 
of these that I have been seeing lately.  $18.00

Machine Co was founded by Laroy Starrett and others in 1868 and was in 
business until 1920.  This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The 
legs have a little frosting and there is a little funky up inside of the 
joint.  The spring and tips are good.  The screw travels the full 
distance.  This ain't minty but it will get the job done.  $15.00

11/16" long, the b lades are 15/16" wide,  and they weigh 3 oz unboxed.

ain't much in the way of patina to fuss about.  The teeth are good for 
the most part but a couple could stand a touch up.  The tang is good.  I 
don't have the screwbox for this guy.  These guys sure don't show up 
very often.  $17.00

edges and corners are good.  There is a very slight bend (like 1/16" at 
the center) looking from the top.  The handle has a few light dings and 
a chip off of the bottom on the back. This is true according to my 
reference square here.  This ain't pristine but I don't see too many of 
these guys in this size around.  $20.00

Small Perfect Handle Style Screwdriver.  Measuring 4 7/8" long, the tip 
is 1/4" wide, and this weighs 2 oz unboxed.  Marked as shown. This is in 
decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some light pitting on one 
side of the tip, the other side not so much, but it was never messed 
with.  The shaft and frame have a little frosting. The handle scales 
have a few dings but they are solid and on tight. This ain't the 
prettiest but it will get the job done.  $17.00

Four Miniature Wood Molding Planes.  There is a 3/8" compass round 
measuring 2 5/16" long, a 1/4" round measuring 2 1/4" long, a 5/16" 
hollow measuring 1 3/4" long, a 3/8" compass snipe bill measuring 2 1/4" 
long, and they weigh 2 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  
These are in reasonably good condition, the only cleaning I did was on 
the faces of the irons.  The bodies are good other than some staining on 
a couple of them.  The soles and mouths are good as well.  A couple of 
the irons have some light pitting on the faces. The wedge on the snipe 
bill was replaced at some point, that's not quite a perfect fit, the 
others look to be original.  These are neat and very collectible planes 
and they are not very common at all to find.  The price on this item 
includes US Priority Mail Shipping plus insurance.  The price is firm.  
$140.00

cap is good with no cracks to the inside threaded area.  The chuck is 
also good.  This has 9 of the original bits.  A couple of them are short 
and they have a little patina.  This ain't minty but considering that 
it's at the least, 133 years old, well it sure ain't bad.  $60.00

where it meets the body but it's not cracked.  The peen was dressed at 
some point and there are some scuffs on the top and underside.  The

5/8" in diameter across the top, and this weighs 1 lb 1 oz unboxed. Not

rim and a couple of knots.  There is a grain line where the head starts

slightly twisted and there is a small void along the forge weld line but 
it's solid.  The handle is ain't old replacement.  That has some paint 
stains and somebody wrapped some string around the center to keep it 
from falling out.  This ain't pristine but these big early ones are sure 
getting few and far between, at least around here.  $30.00

ain't much in the way of patina overall.  Somebody put a hole in the 
body, probably to fix this to a workbench, but that won't affect this 
being used.  Both of the rule screws and tabs are good and the set 
screws on the side both turn.  This ain't minty but it will get the job 
done.  $25.00

main joint is good,  The fine adjustment is a little stiff but it 
works.  The transfer screw also works.  This ain't perfect but

bad.  $30.00
