278638 Tony Seo 2024‑07‑15 FS: The Toolz Of 2024 List 7-2
Greetings.  Got one more week of this summer ugh here, the heat is one
thing, but the 120% humidity is something else.  Sigh.  The fleas
haven't been like real good, but I did land a few goodies. This list is
a little shorter, but I still have lots from the previous ones.

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!

North Bros Yankee No 2101 10 Inch Bell System Brace.  This weighs 3 lbs
2 oz unboxed.  This was made by North Bros after they were acquired by
Stanley.  This is in reasonably good condition, the only cleaning I did
was on the grip and pad.   There are a few small spots where the plating
is worn and some dings, but it's 98% present and good.  The chuck has a
little wear to the crosshatching, but that and jaws are good.  The
ratchet works in both directions and the locked position.  The grip and
pad have some dings, stains, and some tiny bits of paint, but both spin
freely.  This ain't pristine, but it sure ain't bad, and it will get the
job done.  $60.00

Vintage W Mfg Co Iron Frame Hacksaw Hack Saw.  Measuring 14 13/16"
overall, the blade is 8 1/8" long (between the holes), the throat is 2
1/8" high (from the edge to the start of the frame at the center), and
this weighs 11 1/4 oz unboxed.  Can't speak much about the maker.  This
is in decent condition and was cleaned.  The frame has some light
patina, but has some of the original finish.  The blade is a Starrett. 
That has some funky including some scaling and light pitting, but the
edge feels fairly good to the touch.  The handle has some wear to the
finish and a thin check, but the screw works, and holds.  There are 4
blade positions available.  This ain't pristine, but it's a solid older
tool that will get the job done. $22.00

Craftsman 10 Inch Sweep Brace By Millers Falls.  This weighs 3 lbs 7 oz
unboxed.  This is a Craftsman marked Millers Falls No. 1910 which was
made between 1971 and 1981 (the BB mark was Sears code for MF tools). 
This has the Lion chuck which accepts both square tang and regular round
shaft twist bits.  How about that, eh?  This is in reasonably good
condition.  Somebody else did some cleaning on the ratchet area and the
pad base and there is some plating loss on both of them.  The chuck has
some staining, but that and the jaws are good.  The ratchet works in
both directions and the locked position.  The grip and pad are wood and
they both have most of the original finish.  The grip has a partial
decal.  There are some dings on both and the pad has a little paint that
refused to come off without a fight.  Both spin freely.  This ain't
minty but these Lion chuck braces are considered by many to be one of
the better braces out there.  $30.00

to the end of the socket, the blade is 5 15/16" long, this is 12 1/2"
overall, and this weighs 5 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and
was cleaned.  The back has some frosting and light pitting.  The sides
and top have more of the same.  The socket has some light patina, but
was never hit.  The handle is a replacement. That has some dings,
stains, and wear, but it's solid.  This ain't minty by any stretch, but
it is a quality tool that will get the job done.  $18.00

and was cleaned.  The back of the blade is clean save for a few very
light spots and some frosting.  The top has more of the same.  The edge
has some tiny chips and will need some worth. The handle is original and
is good other than some ringing up by the top and some stains and
dings.  This ain't pristine, but it sure ain't bad.  $22.00

There is some frosting, staining, and light pitting on both the inside
and outside of the sweep.  The edge has some small chips and will need
some work.  The handle looks to be walnut.  That is good save for some
light wear and some chipping on the back side.  This ain't minty, but it
will get the job done. $17.00

the big hook is 19 1/8" long, 3 1/2" wide across inside at the tip, the
small hook is 10 1/4" long, and this weighs 4 lbs 10 oz unboxed.  Not
signed as to the maker.  This is in reasonably good condition and was
cleaned.  There is a little patina, but overall nothing too bad.  All of
the hooks insides are good save for a little wear.  The hand forged
chain links are also good with no real wear and no cracks that I can
see.  There are few visible forge weld lines.  I gotta say that finding
one of these guys in this kind of condition is sure getting hard to do.

This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned. The back has a few
small spots of light pitting and some frosting, but nothing too bad. 
The top has more of the same.  The edge is chipped and will need some
work.  The handle is original to the tool.  That has some dings, stains,
and a few tiny bits of paint, but still has most of the original

often around here.  $30.00

Columbian Hardware Co 4 Inch Blacksmith Leg Vise.  Measuring about 40"
high, the jaws are about 4 3/8" wide, and this weighs about a whole
bunch of lbs unboxed.  This is in decent condition and was not cleaned. 
Been a while since I last did one of these "on the back of the truck
photo sessions..)  Lots of grime and patina going on this guy.  The jaws
are fairly good and close up tight and flush on the tops, but not quite
flush on the sides.  The screw is missing a section from the end, but
the jaws open to 3" with no problem.  The nut is good (that is a sprue
line showing in the last picture and not a crack.)  The bench mount is
solid and the spring is good. This ain't perfect, but seeing as what
they are selling for on other places, for the money this will get the
job done.  PICKUP ONLY at my shop here in NE PA.  This guy is too heavy
and well gnarly for me to ship.  $150.00

J S Cantelo 1883 Patent 8 Inch Folding Handle Draw Knife Or Drawknife. 
Measuring 16" overall, the blade is 8 1/16" long, 1 3/16" wide across
the edge, and this weighs 1 lb 12 oz unboxed. John Solomon Cantelo of
Taunton, MA was granted Pat. No. 286,385 on Oct. 9, 1883 for the design
of this tool, which was the first of five patents that he was issued for
draw knives.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned. 
There is some staining and some spots of frosting on the back, but
nothing too bad.  The edge is fairly good and the top was never struck. 
The front has more of the same light patina as the back.  The handles
are good and have almost all of the original finish, plus a coat of
wax.  The handle hardware has some frosting and there is a user mark
stamped on both sides.  Both handles move freely, but they wiggle around
a little when they are in the working position.  This ain't pristine,
but seeing as how it's at least 120 years old, it sure ain't bad. $60.00

has a convex sole and is 7 1/4" long, the blade is 2 1/2" wide, and they
weigh 1 lb 2 oz unboxed.  There is a user mark on the left one, but
these were made by the same hand.  These are in good condition and were
cleaned.  Overall the bodies are good as are the soles.  All the screws
work and hold.  The left blade isn't sighed, the right one is a
Disston.  The left one has some light patina on the top on both sides,
but the face is clean, and the right one is good overall.  Both have
hooks turned on the edge.  I gotta say, that this is a good looking pair
of tools that will get the job done.  $55.00

in decent condition and was cleaned.  There is some overall light
patina, including frosting and some spots of light pitting.  The joint
and tips are good.  The locking screw is original, and that and the fine
adjustment nut both work and were oiled.  This ain't pristine, but these
big ones are sure getting few and far between, especially blacksmith
marked.  Just saying.  $85.00

Dixie Beer Co Advertising Carpenters Hatchet Bottle Opener. Measuring 4
1/4" long and this weighs 2 oz unboxed.  This is in decent condition and

pitting, but close down tight.  The "through the center" joint is good. 
The loop handles have some pitting, and would have originally been
wrapped with cord, but that rarely survives the journey.  This ain't
pristine, but these guys are sure not very common either.  $30.00

Stanley No 25 6 Inch Adjustable Bevel Square.  This weighs 3 oz
unboxed.  This is in good condition, it had been cleaned by someone else
and I just did some detailing on it.  The blade has some light frosting
around the slot, but overall nothing too bad.  The edges and corners are
good.  The rosewood handle is also good, save for a user initial B
scratched on the one end plate and the same initial carved on the end. 
The locking screw and nut work.  This ain't pristine, but it sure ain't
bad, and it will get the job done. $22.00
