SOME GARAGE SALE FINDS 9-9-18

[ken w.]

I picked up the following items at a garage sale today:
1. Craftsman 6" bench grinder no. 397.19330 1/3 hp. Missing the wheel guard and shield. Has stone / buffing wheel. I thought it was a block grinder , but I picked it up and it has a plastic housing. It would be nice to find a wheel guard and shield. I wont complain for $ 8.00.

2.Safety Grip Hammers from Ft Worth , Tx. no. 15 & 205 brass & nylon hammers. Well used but still some life in them.

3.Mixed letter & number stamp sets. Hoggson & AC Gibson co. inc Buffalo , ny. $ 2.00 ea.

4. Hands Off aluminum knob. Looks like a tubbing bender but its not deep enough and doesn't match the ones I have. Machine knob ??

5. Barcalo Buffalo 8" adjustable. marked- model N8 B8-14 . It looks like the adj. screw has been replaced. It works good.

6. Williams No. 1999 Multisocket dog bone wrench.

Some good finds.
If I didn't already own my block I probably would have picked up said bench grinder for $8.
I'm sure it's good for many quick things.

You walked away with your arms full! Well done.

Don't let Elroy get his hands on that Barcalo adjustable...he'll never give it back!

Cool haul. I want to know why hands is hand’s.

Is that dog-bone wrench supposed to be bent? or is it just the camera angle? The other end looks fine.

Don't recall seeing a Barcalo adjustable before.  Pretty cool

I think some of those bone wrenches are bent like that.

I didn't notice it being bent until you noticed it. It looks like an offset wrench.


I've been finding more Barcalo adjustable wrenches around here as of late.  I never picked them up before as I have a slew of adjustable wrenches. You folks seem to  looking for them , so I grab them.

Ken, I finally dug out my dad's old bench grinder just like yours. I was using it several years ago before I brought my grinders here and when I went to turn it off the switch broke and fell inside and all I heard was plastic grinding and saw smoke coming out. I need to pull it apart and see if the damage is terminal. If I am going to junk it I can give you the side covers. The eye shields are there but are totally yellow and not clear.

I went on the Sears parts website and they actually had some parts for this grinder. I do need a tool rest for the right side. That they didn't have.
