Found a gold mine
« on: March 11, 2021, 03:49:24 PM »
Actually, it is a tool mine.  This "antique" shop is in a small town and I never stopped by it in nearly 20 years that I have been in this area.  Since they have some old farm stuff laying around I stopped yesterday to see if they might have a hay trolley.  They didn't, but guy says we have some old tools out back in a building.  So we go out back and there is about a 40" x 40" old shop and it is full of tools. Tells me to look around and if I want anything to bring it up front.  I look around, (no prices) so I pick up a few items as a test.  The item shown is one of them and is a rare Blackhawk ratchet adapter from the 1920's.  I take it up front with two other tools and he says $7.00.  I'm going back!!!

That's neat old antique that remains fully functional.

Elroy would make room in his tool box for THAT. Good score  :08:
