Recent finds and buys

I used plenty of these to drill and tap gas mains under pressure for service taps . Left plenty of worn out ones in the ditch and back filled them .

 

Barbed wire fence or tire chain tool, or something else? They need a home, wish I knew their designed use. Thanks. Bob

 

Could they be these, but from another maker?

I'm going to list these as flag holders, think they would slide on to a badge bar on something sporty.

 

Setup day at the swap meet was good to me. A whole box of mostly '60s Hot Rod, Car Craft and many other magazines. A personal first -
A copy of a "little pages".
Also a NOS no name sidewinder style tach.

 

Not bad.
I might need some.

 

thought I bought the correct lens for my chrysler tail lites. Oops, to big. It's for a Desoto spider web lite. So I made new clips and started restoring the bezels.

 

Today's haul. I've been collecting valve covers to display a collection similar to what I saw in BobK's garage, these will be a great addition.

Anyone know what the mystery twin carb setup is off of? I have no idea. The intake port is damaged, might just be a wall hanger, but it's neat. Has Carter 1 bbl's on it.

EDIT Appears to be a Hudson Jet Twin H setup for the 202 engine, with a fairly large piece of cast iron knocked off of it. Neat, regardless.

 

Been busy lately….

 

More random acquisitions….

 

Picked up this aluminum art easel for two bucks at my local Habitat for Humanity store and thought I could turn it into a guitar stand if I pad the bottom and make a neck rest .Put my Tele on it and it seems solid.

 

This unopened tube of GULF High Pressure Grease has been on my shelf since 1968 when I got it from the attic of a local GULF station. Never knew there was a Horse Head GULF Logo. I've enjoyed looking at it, but need '32 Ford frame rail funds. Is it worth crazy money, or have I been watching too much American Pickers? Thank you. Bob

 

If you've watched ONE episode of "American Picker" you've watched too much!

 

Heck, let me know what you want, I think it’s neat. I have no idea because some Gulf guru might pay an arm and a leg. I see similar stuff at the stores I hit for , say, $20-30 I would estimate.

 

Worked out well, quite stable.

 

Like every other TV commercial in the 70’s was for those.

 

Grenades : make me think of Victory

 

^^^ Looks like those mini-frags we had for a while till they took em back away from us.

 

My memory is shot. I didn’t see these in a Holden tool catalogue… I saw them in my pliers (dykes) drawer. Look to be wire strippers.

g'day Harv, heres a closer pic of the jaws. Red arrow shows the small V in the jaw. Squiggly red line coud be where a 2nd spring went. My local glass shop says it might be for breaking fine glass for small picture framing. The V would be held on the scribed line in the thin glass and then snap .

 

Interesting Jaguar xk120 Junior car from the 50's

 

cool… haven’t seen a setup like that before.

cheers,
Harv
