266025 Anthony Seo 2018‑06‑18 FS: June Jollies List A
A short and sweet list this time around.  There are some fresh arrivals 
in the NOS and old stuff.  There are a some quality tools here to grab.


PayPal is now accepted and preferred (if you use it) on all items.   On 
items less than $25 (not including shipping) I would appreciate you 
using the Send Money to Family & Friends option so I don't get killed 
with the fees but that is your call. Checks and money orders are still 
welcome, it just seems that 1st Class letters seem to be taking forever 
to get from there to here.

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. 
Oldtools terms, except on items and orders over $100, if I don't know ya 
or haven't done business in the past (and my records good way back..) 
then it's pre-pay.  I do take PayPal (except as noted).  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!

wide, and this weighs 9 oz unboxed.  Made by the H. L. Fine and Son Ltd 
company of Middlesex England.  This is NOS, that's New Old Stock.  This 
was never out of the package until I took it out to take the pretty

Ridgway No 220 11 Piece Irwin Pattern Auger Bit Set & Roll.  The sizes 
are 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 
and this all weighs 2 lbs 9 1/2 oz unboxed.  Ridgway was a long time 
Sheffield England auger bit maker in business from 1878 until they 
merged with Record in 1975 to become Record Ridgway.  These just have 
the Ridgway marks so they were made before that time.  These are NOS, 
that's New Old Stock. Note these are straight, any bending you see is 
because of camera lens distortion.  I did clean off a few small spots of 
rust they picked up from setting around. The edges and lead screws are 
factory fresh.  A couple of tangs have a little patina.  The canvas roll 
does have a couple of rust stains on the inside and a little bit of a 
musty smell to it, but it just needs a good airing out.  If you are 
looking for a quality set of bits, well you can't do much better than 
this one.  $55.00

Tyzack Turner No 166 Talisman 10 Inch 13 PT Tenon Saw.  This weighs 1 lb 
3 1/2 oz unboxed.  This is NOS, that's New Old Stock, and was not 
cleaned.  There are some spots of funky on the brass back from being 
stored but the blade is factory bright.  The handle finish is perfect 
other than one small spot of something above the medallion (these 
weren't stored in very nice place).  There also is a little funky on the 
sawnuts on the back.  Nothing worth kicking the cat over.  If you are 
looking for a top quality back saw, you can't do much better than this 
for the price.  $60.00

Two Lufkin Machinist No 40 Series Calipers.  On the left is a 3" No. 41 
outside caliper, on the right is a 4" No. 42 inside caliper, and they 
weigh 2 1/2 oz unboxed. These are NOS, that's New Old Stock. I did clean 
off some oil residue on these (they were oiled at the factory). There is 
a little still up in the joints and there and here. The tips of the No. 
41 have a few stained spots (these weren't stored very well). Lufkin 
machinist tools are every bit as good as their Starrett and Brown & 
Sharpe cousins.  $20.00

Fresh Old Arrivals

L S Starrett No. 456-B Gear Tooth Vernier Calipers.  This weighs 8 1/2 
oz unboxed.  This is in used condition and was cleaned.  There are some 
spots of frosting and light pitting but nothing too bad.  There are user 
initials on the one clamp.  The edges on the tips and depth gage are 
good.  All the rulings are readable and all the screws work.  The one on 
the clamp for the depth gage is bent a little but it does tighten down 
properly.  The threads on the fine adjusters have a little funky but 
they are good to go.  This ain't minty and it sure ain't got anything 
close to the price of a new one.  Look it up.  $95.00

Old Victorian Ball Brace.  Measuring 12 1/8" long, the sweep is 8", and 
this weighs 1 lb 8 3/4 oz unboxed.  I don't recognize the maker's name 
but Brevete is patented in French.  This is in reasonably good condition 
for the age and was cleaned.  There is a little frosting on the arms and 
a few bits of patina that didn't want to come off but nothing too bad. 
The chuck and screw are good.  The chuck takes both the square tang and 
the European style flat tang bits.  The grip has some dings and wear and 
an old repair.  The pad also has some dings, stains, and wear.  The pad 
has a little play on the shaft but it turns okay.  I gotta say that this 
is only the second one of these guys that I have seen that takes both 
style of bits, and I don't expect to be seeing too many more.  $34.00

Buck Bros Cast Steel 7/8 Inch Gouge To Restore.  Measuring 7 7/16" from 
the edge to the top of where the handle would start, the blade is 5 7/8" 
long, 7/8" wide across the outside of the sweep, this is 9 7/8" overall, 
and this weighs 4 3/4 oz unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition 
and was cleaned.  The back of the blade is good other than some staining 
and one spot of light pitting about 3/4's of the way down.  The inside 
of the sweep has some light frosting but the back is where the money is 
at on this guy.  The edge is good, but it will need a quick sharpening. 
The tang and bolster are good.  This will need a handle, the one that 
was on there was pretty well trashed.  $16.00

AETCO 1 Inch Pattern Maker Crank Neck Gouge.  Measuring 9 3/8" from the 
edge to the top of the handle (straight across), the blade is 7 3/4" 
long, a little over 1" wide across the outside of the sweep, this is 18 
3/8" overall, and this weighs 12 1/2 oz unboxed.  The American Edge Tool 
Company worked in or around the Philadelphia PA area, from the late 
1940's until the early 1960's.  This is in decent condition and was 
cleaned.  The back of the blade has some machining marks left over from 
when it was made, some staining, and a few light dots and spots.  The 
edge is good.  Inside the sweep there are a few spots of pitting.  The 
handle is the original signed one.  That has some staining but nothing 
too bad.  This ain't the fanciest but it will get the job done.  $26.00

Two Old L S Starrett 8 Inch Yankee 70 Series Inside & Outside Calipers. 
The left one is a No. 73 inside caliper measuring 9 1/8" long, the right 
one is a No. 79 outside caliper measuring 9 3/16" long, and they weigh 
10 1/2 oz unboxed.  Robert J. Simpson and Laroy S. Starrett, both of 
Athol, MA, were granted Pat. No. 793,850 on July 4, 1905 for the design 
of the quick adjustment spring nuts used on these tools.  Figuring the 
20 year limit on the use of the patent date mark, these are at the 
least, 92 years old and probably a bit older.  These are in decent 
condition and were cleaned.  There are some spots of frosting and light 
pitting on the arms, mainly on the outside caliper.  There are user 
initials stamped on both sides of the tools.  There is some funky up 
inside the springs and joints.  The patented spring nuts work on both of 
them and the threads are good.  The tips are good as well.  These ain't 
minty, but considering that new ones will set you back a buck 60 for the 
pair, well they ain't bad.  $45.00

Buck Bros 9/16 Inch Gouge.  Measuring 6 7/16" from the edge to the top 
of the handle, the blade is 5 1/16" long, 9/16" wide across the outside 
of the sweep, this is 12 9/16" overall, and this weighs 4 1/2 oz 
unboxed.  This is in reasonably good condition and was cleaned.  The 
back of the blade has some tiny and light spots but nothing too bad. 
Inside the sweep there is some frosting.  Somebody beveled this on the 
back, it was beveled on the inside at the factory, but it is fairly 
sharp as is.  The handle has some stains, a user name stamped in a 
couple of spots, and a small flat spot on the back.  The handle is solid 
with no checks that I can see.  This ain't minty but it sure ain't bad 
either.  $18.00

Machinist Adjustable Trammel Points.  The beam is 23" long, the heads 
are 3 1/2" high, and this weighs 4 1/4 oz unboxed.  Not signed as to the 
maker.  These are in used but good condition and were cleaned.  The 
heads have some light spots of patina but nothing too bad.  All of the 
nuts work and the points remove.  The beam has a rough spot on the one 
end where it was either shortened or that's how this was made.  This 
ain't got a fancy name attached to it, but this is a quality tool.  $32.00
