I found a Mayhew 8-1/2” offset on a buy it now eBay listing and Phil sent me some tools to help complete sets. Thanks, Phil!

One of the D-I 15/16” cad plated sockets Phil sent me was the missing piece for completing this set.

Re: My 2021 old tool finds.
I found these wrenches on Monday at a Tahoe moving sale. They look better cleaned up. The 18” Ridgid is from 1943. The Walworth Stillson is from 1942. The Erie Stillson is prewar and the auto wrench is unmarked.

I picked up this 1943 18” Ridgid pipe wrench at a Tahoe yard sale on Saturday.

This Snap-on spinner arrived in the mail as part of a trade. It will replace the damaged one in the set on the left.

I picked up these 1/2” Vlchek cold chisels at a driveway sale on Friday. The shorter one has seen a lot of use.

This partial wartime Indestro 1/2” drive set arrived in the mail yesterday. It needs a couple of sockets. I’ll add this ratchet and u-joint I received recently.

Re: My 2021 old tool finds.
Thanks. I’ll post a picture of the set completed shortly. This General 753 (41-R-2750) arrived a couple of weeks ago from an eBay seller. I like that it looks like it has some age to it. There is another rather pricey one on the auction site at this moment.

I forgot to post this partial cad plated FSN marked Walden set I grabbed off of eBay at the beginning of the month. I have since added the missing pieces.

Re: My 2021 old tool finds.
My neighbor brought me some tools he picked up at a Portland, OR estate sale and among them was a Plomb socket and 1/2” drive ratchet needing repair and this interesting unmarked perfect handle screwdriver. It is probably a well used ink marked 11” Irwin although I can’t prove that without disassembly. The part that caught my eye was what I believe is a hand stamped US on the shaft.

Very cool find Don. We have seen other tools stamped and even more etched with US or USA but I have never seen an Irwin hand Stamped US. I’m not even sure I would have even noticed it.
