Is that Brown & Sharpe micrometer still in its original wrapping?

Is that a marbles sheath knife by the cool little vise?

Yes it is, model 1916. The stacked leather will need repair but other than that it's good.

Is that Brown & Sharpe micrometer still in its original wrapping?

Yup, coated in pasty old grease and wax paper.

Heavy metal?

That dumbell is called a "bun" style is probably quite old. Can you tell me who the maker is?

$30 scrap yard run. I still marvel at what people throw away as trash.

No, full sized Connie. I need to clean it for an ID.

A retired “picker” buddy of mine said he had some stuff for me today. I only wanted about half of what he had and he gave me the little hatchet and worn out half hatchet. I am interested in thesescribes. The brand is Lodi. Made in new haven conn. Were these made specifically for timber framing? Thanks for looking!

 

[Brian Rust]

That explains it. The company is W S Co. not Lodi. Maybe someone’s name? No telling.

I have associated those with leather work.

Nice score and great CT find!

The shingle prybar looks like a Dasco. Those are very good and surprisingly still made in USA.

The patent for those dividers doesn't mention a specialized use for them, the main feature seems to be the way they are adjusted.

"Some examples are also marked "LODI", but it is not known whether this is a brand name of Schollhorn or another manufacturer's mark."

Thank you Steve I really appreciate the time you spend researching. I am very glad you are a part of this community!

Interesting Dividers, appear to be pressed steel construction.
Its points appear sort of fat as if they are just rolled tight of the parent material.

 

[Brian Rust]

Yes I thought the same thing. They are interesting. I have a smaller pair from the same maker that is a solid construction with space milled out for the set screw. They both are great quality (even though the larger ones are stamped steel).

 

[jblyttle]

Not my biggest haul, but $10 at the scrapyard!
