Collecting tools is a disease that you don't even know you have until you buy a tool that you have no idea on earth what it is used for, but you have to have it anyway.
Those are fascinating. The one on the left has a faster lower thread. I would guess a left and a right handed thread with the bars to line the jaws up were installed after both jaws were threaded on?I've collected tools for a long time, I didn't even realise I was collecting for many years!
I'll try & post some of the more unusual, starting with these lovely adjustable wrenches, assumed to be coach bolt wrenches from way back.
They appear to be marked "Somborn" & "Montan Werks".

As you can see in Bob's video the threads are long enough to dismantle it just by unscrewing.
I have one more monster one that needs a handle making...........
Some more adjustables that are more common.

I dont know much about planes but thought this to be a nice treasure.
It might be a little while till I get to cleaning but I wanted to post before I forget about and rediscover it in a drawer I place it in to not forget...

Holy crap! Cool!
What does the text say?
PATENT POIGNE BREVETE , or that's what it looks like, stamped on both sides.
Thanks for that Steve Tall. As yet I haven't seen another one though they must be out there.

apparently these aluminum/bondo/wood files, what ever they're meant for, have a special type of handle you'd use with'm, at least that's what the guy told me.
I really like these pliers, they're like channel locks but they kinda slide into the right size, i can see these being pretty useful, one of the ends used to have a flat head driver on it but it's long since snapped.
Those are normally called “floats”. Lots of different shapes and sizes. Most known from wooden plane makers! I buy them every chance I get!
