We hit the local carboot while it was bright and frosty and picked up these from the surplus tool man
From the top a big unissued Sheffield made filing block. I know what I will use it for but what were they supposed to be used for, out of interest? £5
panel beating hammer, also unused but with surface rust to remove. Only marking is "MYERS" in the side of the head. Anyone know what country of origin. £1.50
ignore the brass pliery things, those are the wifes to ebay,
Next down a 5 foot Rabone folding ruler £1.50, some scratches from being dumped in with other tools but again unused straight from stores
Then a pair of Humpreys Sheffield scissors 50p and 4 beach and brass tool handles, 50p each.
Then some unissued Elliot Lucas pliers £1 and at the far side a 10 metre Rabone Chesterman refil tape £1.50. he also had some refils for 3m steel tapes, will get next time if not gone.
A 5/8 inch Priory punch, 50p, some rust and cosmolene to remove but not on the cutting edge so no biggy. Opposite a couple of sizes of steel drift, arrow marked straight from the box (had lots but just two sizes) 50p a pop and perhaps best of all for the princely sum of 50p a unused adapter to make any standard sized brace bit into a scotch eye auger. There was a auger bit to go with, snided in cosmolene but since I already have lots and I was by this point scrounging change from the kids I thought I'd leave it until next time. It made me a very happy bear any road
