After a few days bathing in vinegar it cleaned up very nicely but still shows no markings. Oh well, I have a couple of cool old hammers to use.
It followed me home (Part 2)

The bench followed me home yesterday (in the back of a friend's pickup). Just something to throw some older tools on. But . . .

Looks like a couple big cooper’s planes. Could be wrong though.

Its pretty cool at first glance and I wanted it.
I think it is, perhaps holds upto 6 cigarettes, however I am not sure yet was held in the two empty holes.
This stamp makes it even cooler

A few new scores! I traded 4 hours of labor at a local antique shop for these items. It feels really good to barter for these. It makes it very rewarding!
A Disston collapsible saw.
Missing one handle but still super cool.
I've always wanted a wavy craftsman logo. Found this chisel!
And last but certainly not least a nice old Maine (I'm pretty sure anyway) diamond eye double bit.
I know the markings are consistent with an E&S but i don't think it is one. Could be though? I've already cleaned it up some and cannot see any other markings. No temperers mark. Thanks for checking my "new" stuff out!
Edit; i can't believe i forgot my nos db haft!
Grain alignment is awesome!

I picked these up from my favorite junk store today for a total of $14 and some change. I would appreciate any info on the $2.50 axe head. I didn't see a name on it.
First off, nice score! A nicely thinned boys axe, two bucking wedges, a splitting wedge, an adze head and a jersey for $14 and change is a steal. Second, the jersey's probably a paper label TT Woodslasher. Third, please post all the junk you remove from the eye of the jersey.
I'd guess that the holes held ink-pots,and the grooves served to rest your pen in,to keep from putting them on the table...Writing and lamps were closely associated in the days of crappy light...

Ink wells and paper clips in the trays...I see it now.

Yep! A search for antique lamp with double inkwells turns up a lot of them.I'd guess that the holes held ink-pots,and the grooves served to rest your pen in,to keep from putting them on the table...Writing and lamps were closely associated in the days of crappy light...
I wonder if the double inkwells are for extra ink or two colors...

Nice finds! And great prices too as has been mentioned. Those TT woodslashers clean up nice. I had one in much thre same condition;I picked these up from my favorite junk store today for a total of $14 and some change. I would appreciate any info on the $2.50 axe head. I didn't see a name on it.
After a lot of elbow grease;
While not very collectible(for now anyway) they are very good axes. It should serve you well! If you clean it up and rehang it share it with us!

I thought so! Those are beautiful hand made pieces of art!! I have found one or two of them before they were just out of the price range. For good reason. If you think of all the hours a man spent with a chisel and a plane just to make another tool to use... it is pretty spectacular!
