Yankee North Brothers Screwdriver DisplayYankee Screwdriver / Drill  Countertop Display  If condition were to win prizes, this piece would get the Gold Medal.  It is so pristine and bright that it is breathtaking.  Pieces of this caliber and quality appear rarely and disappear just as quickly.  This opportunity will not repeat itself anytime soon so.

Good . . . . . .  $1295.00       SOLD








Thayers Patent HammerThayers Patent Hammer  This is a classic multi tool / hammer.  I believe he made another multi-tool that is also quite well known, the 8 in one trivet.  Hard to find.

Good . . . . . .  $125.00       SOLD





2 Double Claw Hammers2 Double Claw Hammers  There are real ones, and made up fake ones.  These are both real.

30" Baker & Hamilton Blacksmith Bellows 30" NOS Baker & Hamilton Blacksmith Bellows This super piece of California history is 48" tall x 30" across, is NOS, and was never used.   When I got it still had the original pieces of leather strapping holding it shut.  Over the years there was some drying of the leather, but I believe that between the softening treatments I gave it, and the ones that you give it, this great piece will still be serviceable.  There is one small 3" tear in the leather up near the nozzle end on one side, but this would be repairable without redoing all of the leather.  The overall condition is wonderful and the stencil coming from California's most famous Hardware store is super. You just do not see them in this sort of condition, ever.

Good . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD




Emmert Patternmakers ViceEmmert Patternmakers Vice This is the large size vice that these folks produced, and it has the ability to hold just about anything, in any position, that you could stick in it.  Everything is here including the angle plate, the adjusting rod and the bracket for it.  This vice is NOS as in never been used and has just some minor spots of rust on the bar from storage.  The jaws still have the original grease on them.  The handle and the rod are still in their original paper wrappings taped together.  There is nothing about this one that you will not like.

Greeley Speed IndicatorGreeley Speed Indicator Not all speed indicators were created equal.  This is a rare and unusual model that is seldom found.  Do not confuse this with the typical Starrett or other common models you see all the time.  Those in the know know, and those who do not overprice their common ones.   

Good  . . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD






Litner Litner and Sporborg Pistol Grip Speed Indicator This is one of the rarest and most desirable speed indicators that was produced during the later part of the 19th century, and the condition of this one is superb.  No collection of these interesting and graphic devices can be considered complete without the full set of these in the middle. This example has a serial #of 866 stamped into the bottom of the grip, and the Gutta-Percha grips are flawless as is the patent info and inventors name that is engraved into them.  The 4 Patent dates range from 1889 thru 1894.  On the other side is the inventors name Harvey Hubbell.  The nickel plating is 98% + and there will be no disappointments with any aspect of the condition of this piece, truly a top shelf piece.   Display it proudly!!

Good . . . . .  $295.00       SOLD




Brown & Barry Patented Marking / Mortise GaugeBrown & Barry Patented Marking / Mortise Gauge The Brown & Berry 5 stem marking gauge is one of the rarest and most unique of all patented mortise& marking gauges.  The inventors must have had a lot going on in their minds or business to have come up with an idea for a marking gauge with 5 moveable stems.  I imagine many potential users could not handle the concept.

Overall the condition is very nice.  It had a light coat of protective finish applied 20 some years ago, but that will come off.  Super rare, and few known!!!

antique saw tools10 Saw Makers Hammers    You can find saw makers hammers from time to time, and they are usually found one at a time and / or at tool shows or tool auctions. The collector got these as a set, and his tag mentions that he got 11 for one money at one location.  Well here are 9 from saw set that set of 11, and what looks to be another dog face he got elsewhere. In addition to the dog face versions, there are also straightening hammers, and the very interesting looking cross face hammers.  Be sure to look at all of the saw hammers It is a rare find to have them all together, and that saw hammer is the way I want to sell them.
