I can't resist auctions, and I'm a toolaholic. There. I said it. Anyway I hadn't seen any good old chisels for sale anywhere in about a year and a half. So yesterday I went to an auction and my dry spell ended. I also bought some brace bits just to get the box. There were 2 lakeside, 1 winchester and the rest are greenlee. The sale was in a dark machine shed so I could barely read anything on the tools. I picked up 5 W.Butcher lathe chisels made in Sheffield England. Next was a Jackson back saw with split nuts and open handle. I got 3 hand planes. N0 4C stanley with a SW blade. It will clean up to be a good user. Got a very clean #6 and a basket case 4 1/2 that had no tote, lever cap or knob which I happened to have on hand. Last I bought a 280 scraper with a SH blade. All in all a good day for me. Found an adjustable marking gauge too.auction finds 008.jpgauction finds 009.jpgauction finds 011.jpg
