19th Century Mitre Jack I bought this

the 80's at an old couples house here in CA who invited us over. The collector
bought it from me, and it was on display in their store for the next 25 years or

Eddy Patent Tool Holder / Screwdriver
The patent
rare & unusual screwdriver was granted on November 26, 1895. That date is on the blade. The #
is 550259 but I could
not get it to come up. I saw a copy of the patenr on another site, but that was it.
A cute little tool I have never seen before.The brass collar twists off so the screwdriver blade can fall back into the cast iron handle for storage. It is a bit over 3" long when retracted. It is a wonder the brass collar never got lost or that the thin cast iron handle was never broken. Nice.
Good + . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!

Starrett
219 Micrometer on Articulated Micrometer Stand
An unusual micrometer on an even more unusual design
articulated stand. The Starrett version of a micrometer stand is # 206.
This is simply marked on the stand "Made by H. R.
Simpson", the Machinist / makers name I assume.
Note that the # 219 Starrett micrometer has a blade like anvil. That
number must have been retired as there are no examples using a Google
search. Current day Starrett blade micrometers retail for approx.
$600. I read somewhere that this type of micrometer and stand are used
by ammunition reloaders. The ratchet feature works
fine and stops at 0. Different. Add it to the
collection.Good + . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!!
Jaques
Patent Direct Read Micrometer This
unusual micrometer was made by the Central Tool Co, of Auburn RI. Its
claim to fame is the window where the hundredths and thousandths numbers
come up automatically as you turn the thimble. The numbers do change,
but i am not sure that it is calibrated or correct. Jaques held several
patents for machinist tools and micrometers. See pic for dates.
Different & Nice!!Good + . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!

Randall & Stickney Indicator /
Micrometer
This R & S Watchmakers Bench Top Dial Micrometer was patented Aug.
21, 1883 and made by Randal and Stickney of Waltham, Mass. It is in excellent condition.
It The dial reads in thousandths
of an inch. These types of micrometers were mostly used by
factory workers as inspection tools for mass produced parts. The table can be adjusted up or down so items could be checked by setting the dial on zero with a control piece and allowing
the variance to be read on the test pieces. It is made of cast iron with nickel plated parts. It has the original
paint with gold pin striping and label. Part of the label decal is missing.
It measures about 7-3/4 inches tall and has a 4-1/4 inch base. It weighs about 4 lbs. It has serial number
10,851 stamped on the bottom.. Nice!! Fine . . . . $75.00 SOLD!!

Yankee
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 . . . . . .$1250.00 SOLD
Greeley
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
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 . . . . .$450.00 SOLD
Goodell Pratt #340 Clapboard / Siding
Gage
Here
is a tool you use to see from time to time. They are also a tool that everyone
use to ask what is that. I imagine if you handed one to a Vinyl siding guy
today he would not have a clue. For making a perfect cut up next to the window
trim or corner boards. Today they run that piece over the siding. I have never seen either Goodell Pratt's or Stanley's version in
the box before. A rare example.
Fine . . . . .$195.00 SOLD
Millers Falls #88 Jointer Fence
This is in like new condition. .
Fine . . . . . .$50.00 SOLD!
The Winsted Edge Tool Works
/ T. H. Witherby Chisels, Gouges, and
Drawing Knives Tool Catalog It is
not a reprint. This is an ORIGINAL. It says it is # 4, and in the back
are supplements dated 1905. It seems they made Witherby chisels, gouges, and slicks, or marketed them. Info I read
on the history or explanation was unclear. It covers a full line of woodworking tools
w/ great illustrations. A rare catalog and reference. Good + . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!!
Primitive Shovel & Fork
The shovel is carved
from 1 piece of wood. It is American, or at least was bought as such back
in the 70's. I am not sure of the intended purpose of the fork. Probably to lift some light material like hay into the wagon. It is in very nice condition and not a form you find or see very often. Neat!!
Shovel . . . Good+ . . . . .$250.00 SOLD!
Fork . . . . . . . Good+ . . . . .$150.00 SOLD!!

Good + . . . . .$20.00 / Each ALL SOLD!!
Furst
& Bradley #83 Cast Iron Implement / Tractor Seat
The reference I have on these lists this as a #10 on the rarity scale.
There is a hairline through the center bolt hole but that ends at the first
slots you see. A rare seat in pretty nice condition.
Good . . . . .$450.00 SOLD!
Western
Electric Tool Kit This is a
nice little set that i would imagine dates from the 20's or 30's
from the markings on the Stanley screwdriver that is included. I
imagine that this was a repairman's kit for radios, or telephones
that Western Electric was selling servicing at this time. . It is
not all beat up and it looks to all be here.
Good +. . . . . .$150.00 SOLD!
Rhodes
Sales Company Razor Blade Stropper / Sharpener
This stropper is by the same maker as the very common Kriss Cross that has the
same basic action, but is a enclosed table top model. This is the very
rare and unusual hand held version. It measures just under 9" long, and
the disc is about 4" Dia. Rare!!!Fine . . . . . .$450.00 SOLD!!
Genco Razor Blade Stropper / Sharpener
This one looks like a camera. Hold the strap on one end, and pull
the handle on the other to make the leather strop inside go back and forth.
The blade holder inside swivels back and forth as well. Now you just need to
figure out how to get the blade in and out through the small opening in the
side. Good luck with that too.Fine . . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!

RARE & unusual "GEM" Handy Oiler / Oil Bottle. The bottom is marked with the company name,
P D & Co, or Payne Diehl & Co., patent date of 1880, and location Phila Pa. The front of the glass bottle is marked GEM. This is the same outfit that made the rare and collectible P. D. & Co. Egg Beater
with the slinky like affair on the bottom. One of the rarest and hard to find of all oilers / oil cans / bottles
out there.

allow the leg to quickly rough adjust,
then fine adjust with the thumbscrew. A neat design.The patent info is clearly stamped into the brass body as can be seen in the pics. The patent # is 364561 and the patent and a few other references to this early and unusual tool comes up easily using Google. A fine addition to the early Machinist tool collection.

up Goggling the Gilliland name along with medical, caliper, or other words. A rare thing in very nice condition.Fine . . . . . .$275.00 SOLD!!

Stanley
#85 Rosewood Panel Gauge
Unmarked as most were.
Good + . . . . . .$80.00 SOLD!!
2
Panel Gauges / Gages I believe the
rear one is a Stanley 85 1/2. The stem is a very light colored, but a heavy and
dense
hard wood, I think it is Rosewood, but it is so light colored I am not sure.
The head is marked with Trauts patent for the "gib", the brass stem
protector between the head and stem. Note also that it has a rotating wheel
marker and not a point which could be re-installed. Nice, and
different.The second gauge is nothing special.

is in good used / useable condition. Faintly marked. Put it back to work. Good + . . . . . $50.00 SOLD!!
Brown & 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!!!
Good + . . . . .$895.00 SOLD!
