Second run of tools for the month of February.  Since it's going to snow 
here today (AGAIN!!) might as well have something to do. Sigh. Got a run 
of fresh goods, lots of brace tools, hammers, machinist, and the usual 
ends and odds.

PayPal is 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!

some dings.  The face has some dings, wear, and a little mushrooming.  
The peen is good save for some very light patina.  The eye is good to 
go.  This ain't pristine but it's an older tool that will get the job 
done.  $17.00

one side but there are no cracks that I can see. The eye has a little 
crusty and a few light dings around the edges but it's solid.  This 
ain't minty but it's an old dog that will get the job done.  $18.00

Wm Johnson Newark NJ 12 Inch Wing Compass Or Divider.  Measuring 12 
1/16" long and this weighs 12 oz unboxed.  The Wm Johnson Company was a 
long time Newark NJ tool maker.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  There is some overall frosting and some spots of light pitting 
on the legs.  The joint is good.  The locking screw and fine adjustment 
nut both work and were oiled.  The one tip is a little shorter than the

Early Hand Forged Belt Axe.  Measuring 11 5/8" overall, the head is 4 
1/8" long (across the center), the edge is 3" high (straight across), 
and this weighs 1 lb 4 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  
This is in fair condition and was cleaned.   There is lots of patina 
going on this old guy.  The bit was replaced at some point and that is 
fairly good.  The wrought iron body has some roughness.  The poll is 
cracked at the top and goes into the eye and was dressed down at some 
point.  The forge weld line at the front of the eye is open a bit.  The 
handle is old and could be the original one.  HOWEVER somebody (not me!) 
used some kind of glue to keep the handle in the eye.  Sigh.   What can 
I say?  This sure ain't anywhere close to minty but it is an old and 
collectible tool. $24.00

frosting.  The peen does have a chip on the one end and I did take down 
a little sharpness but other than that, the peen is good.  The handle is 
a recent replacement.  There are a couple of dings at the end but it's 
solid.  This ain't pristine but it will get the job done.  $19.00

also could stand a touch-up.  The handle has some dings, stains, and a 
couple thin checks around the mortise for the tang but it's solid and 
the tang is in tight.  This ain't pristine but tools of this age rarely 
are.  $14.00

nothing too bad.  The spring and tips are good and the screw travels the

8", and this weighs 1 lb 5 1/2 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the maker.  
This is in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall 
light patina but I don't think that this guy was very pretty to start 
with.  The chuck and screw are good, somebody had painted that area with 
red paint and there is little down inside.  The pad was also painted red 
and there is a little down in the hole.  That has a little play and 
light patina but it's solid and spins smoothly.  This ain't fancy but it 
is a neat older tool that will get the job done.  $24.00

some light dings and frosting but nothing too bad.  The peen also has 
some frosting and there is some kind of raised figure there.  The eye 
has some dinging inside the top but it's solid.  This ain't minty, but 
drop it on a handle and it will get the job done.  $17.00

tiny chips on the corners.  The box is in fair condition.  There is some 
staining and wear, and the one corner of the lid is ripped.  This ain't

doubt that this guy was real pretty to start with. The jaws and teeth 
are good.  The end of the handle has some pitting, this might have been 
fitted to a wooden handle at some point.  This ain't fancy but it is a 
well made older tool.  $17.00

RESTORE.  Measuring 9 1/2" long, 15/16" wide across the sole, and this 
weighs 1 lb 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is in to restore condition and was 
lightly cleaned.  The body has some light scratches and there are some 
bits of paint down in the grain.  The brass sole was probably user added 
but that is good and it is straight.  The wedge has a crack on the one 
side.  That could be glued or at least used as a pattern for a new one.  
This will need an iron.  This is what it is but it is a neat plane that 
with some work, will get the job done.  $18.00
