Of course I think it's all great and love it all!
To many favorites as I look back...the craftsman ratchet is awesome! The single bevel, phantom bevel hewing...very excellent condition.

I am excited:cool::thumbsup:
 
jblyttle. Very interesting. That is normally considered a Danish Boy Scout Knife. I have three of them, one by Erling Vangedal, made in Denmark, one by Jorgen How, but made in Germany, and the last by Hans Anderson also made in Denmark. I do not recognize the maker of your knife, looks like a ring with the initials "SY". The sheath is usually sewn with wire, but your sheath seems to be missing the wire. You might want to post your photos on the Bernard Levine Forum, someone there might recognize the maker. Thanks for posting the photos. John
PS Are there any markings on the other side of the tang?

The stamp is similar to this one found elsewhere online, saying "the ‘GY on a ring’ stamp is perhaps one of the more interesting and unusual stamps. It was a knife made for Gylling Hansen, an importer from Copenhagen, Denmark. Allegedly, the Gylling Hansen import company was not in operation at the end of WWII, which would date this knife pre 1945."

Looks like the Huther Bros. "adjustable circular-saw vise", as shown in Wood Craft, March 1906.

Exactly. I'll admit to not knowing that when I bought it this morning, but it looked interesting, it was $20 and I took a gamble. Then I looked it up. Not many people sharpen circular saw blades anymore, so it is mostly just a collectible. It is available if there are any interested parties.
 


Today’s small flea market haul. A complete Stanley #45 with all parts and one iron. A “Worth” 1” chisel, and a very nice #3.5 Collins Homestead DB. It has been rehung on a vintage handle that is straight as an arrow. I will probably use the handle in another head because it is so nice. But this head has no chips or dents in the top or bottom. This made me a happy camper today! Thanks for lookin.
