Holy! That's a haul even by JB standards! So much eye candy, can't stop looking.

What is your take on these?

That Connie in the middle with the straight handle is really interesting

Is that a Cantelo folding draw knife?
Looks just like the one I picked up last werk.

cool dock saw, what's underneath that sheath by the bench plane?

Here's $9 worth from part of what I found when I was the first at a barn sale out in the country yesterday:

The one with the tape is a "Vaughan Value Brand" while the short handled one is a no-name that appears to be cast. Can a cast axe be any good?? Thanks, T-A

This could be one for the record books JB!!
Is that a number 7 plane? If so I want it as well as that number 48 (tongue and groove plane!

 

[Brian Rust]

i have one with a sheath if you'd like a pattern, it's got an integrated little knife sheath hangin down the side, kinda weird

That would be great! I need to try my hand at more leather work lol

After reading these posts, my wife and I stopped by an antique dealer. I picked up a early Stanley #240 series mitre box. Without a tag, it's not collectable but it will rehab into a good user. In the among the dozen or so axes, I found a Michigan pattern Craftsman boys axe and a 3 1/2 # Young pattern DB axehead. The DB was a double steel without a maker's stamp. The Craftsman was the best one of them. There was a boys axe with scalloped cheeks . He also had a couple of broad axes, I may go back.

Scalloped cheeks generally means A.A.T. co. If it still has life in the bit and isn't too expensive, it'd be worth getting. So's the Craftsman and double bit if it has beveled cheeks.

 

[Downwindtracker2]

Who is A.A.T. co ? I usually pass on tools that say Craftsman, except maybe older sockets. I find them to be very DIY , but this one had what looked to me, what do I know?, as having a good profile with a cheek swell. It also had a half a Craftsman sticker. The haft had the remains of a Canadian Tire Mastercraft sticker. They can't be too old. The head obligingly fell off.

I have a question about the Young pattern, where is it from?. The axe is 9 1/2" long and a 4 1/2" bit with a 3/4" curve.

 

[A17]

American Axe and Tool co. American Axe & Tool Co. As for the young pattern, I don't know. I'd never even heard of one until your post. I found one on a Kelly axe pattern chart and nowhere else. That, to me, would make me say it's probably a Kelly.

 

[Downwindtracker2]

, that's where I got it from too. Anyway, it's good representation of the shape. I love tracking down the makers of old tools, but I couldn't even find a trace of a stamp. I would have thought somebody like Kelly would have stamped it. It does have a healthy 2" of high carbon steel.

Why such a deep curve ? I measured my Hulks Bruk and it's one half as much. The DB is well hardened, it going to be tough on files, so I think the curve of the bit is factory.

 

[Agent_H]

D Downwindtracker2 , can you post a picture of the double bit you think might be a Young's pattern?

I picked up a 40oz Plumb ball peen hammer, a 3lb Kelly Rockaway ("Kelly's Flint Edge - no True Temper stamp ), a 4lb Plumb rafting (finally), Kelly FE Connie (also finally), an old knob end haft for the pattern, and an unmarked 44" perforated lance crosscut saw over the past couple weeks. I'll try to get photos up.
