Even the oldest radios still tune modern analog AM signals, so something else is up.
did a bunch of picking today, here's a few highlights, there's the woodslasher obviously, then a no-name phantom bevel (sorry brian, not a belknap)
and lastly, an RCA Radiola 18, it works marvelously, if you like static. if anyone knows how to convert a tube radio to modern AM, i'm open to advice
i got the woodslasher in a box of stuff for $10, then the P-bevel head was $10 and the radio was $5
it also has no antenna
Thank you JB...A stellar package and always a smooth and easy experience...A most wicked Christmas in July!
Awesome scores.Busy weekend but these came to me Friday.
There was a little shuffle and a Peter Sellers - Pink Panther moment but the H2H train arrived and all is home now where it should be.
Pexto #505 pruners and 8" folding drawknife made just around the corner.
Collins
Woodslashers
Keystone
#3 skillet is beyond super cool
I've taken a few days off from posting. So this is two days worth of finds. None of them were yard sales or anything like that! I've got some of my customers looking for me and two of them came through! Sweet!
Snow & Neally #2-1/2 boys axe, Maine pattern. Orig handle
W.M Beatty&sons half hatchet
Breck- Boston half hatchet
And two Vaughn hatchets as well. The claw hatchet is real nice on orig handle.
If it wasn't on the original haft maybe I'd try it! I was really late to the party as far as collecting axes is concerned. I've said before but I'm in my first year and i thought for sure there wouldn't be that many around. But I'm fortunate and lucky i guess to be located where i am and I've had really great luck finding them and a bunch of other cool stuff too. Plus being self employed means i drive everywhere and meet tons of new people so that helps a lot too. I just got word from another customer today who found two hatchets in his old barn! I'm going over tomorrow evening at 6 to get them. Its like Xmas! I'll post tomorrow night!
I am sucker when it comes to Rockaway pattern.... No matter how badly damaged it is, it does not belong to scrap yard. Any idea abot that weird bulky hatchet?
Or home made hot cut.My guess is that hatchet is forged and formed from a big sledge.
I like that red seal hatchet and handle
Here's that 6" butcher I bought off JB , which actually arrived Thursday and I forgot to post it here till now.
I've discovered that it was made by the A.C.co around 100 years ago or so.
I was able to take the shesth that came with it along with a section of an old belt I had and make something that looks fairly nice, but the leather has a smell I can't get rid of.
I'll find a way I'm sure, but if not the sheath was really just a bonus and I've got a temporary one made till I can come up with a permanent solution.
( Probably have to get some more leather )
I just realized at the same place there was big a...s English made anvil ($450 too much for my pocket :-( ), so most likely it is blacksmithing tool.Hot Cut..? Would, could that have been formed from a sledge do you think? Big splitting maul? Just a block of steel?
I know so little about this I am dangerous
