Auction tools.
« on: December 23, 2022, 07:52:57 AM »
Picked up a box of tools at auction.   On-line auction, local, so I saw this beforehand.   A flat with rusty farm wrenches, monkey wrench, horse shoes, and a large plumb bob.  Got to the bottom, another plumb bob.  Looked like brass, lots of old briittle string wrapped around it.  Nice tapered shape, chipped off the years of dirt, holes in both ends.  Turns  out it's a cutting torch tip!   The other one is steel, just rusty.   So I didnt waste my $4 after all.

I would have been shocked if  you typed you found a plumb babe.  Saw people get crazy at an auction when one came up, haven't seen any more in decades.

I haven't seen a plumb babe in years, they're mostly horse faced.   ;)
