Artisan 13B-4628 Phillips screwdriver

Here's another old screwdriver with celluloid handle and a rubber insulated blade. No information on this brand name that we can find online...

 

Chevrolet 6400 truck

  Its nice to find these old trucks in farm country, they look cared for but not over-restored and generally seem to be leading a useful life. By the rear windows, this might be a 1954 model?

Coastliner RDC

An interesting scene for 2023, a Budd RDC sitting on a turntable in front of the 3 stall roundhouse in Rockland, Maine. There have been interesting things parked there before, and this is the unit the company will use for their Coastliner excursions.

 

One of my vices is- Another Monday Mystery

A reader, John, sent the link to this anvil-vise, recently sold on Facebook marketplace. The patent date is cast in the side, Sept 12 1912, but no makers name anywhere on it. Another little thing to research...

Thanks, John!

Thanks to info from Andy T (in the comments), we find this is covered by one of several patents granted to a C.E. Shields and was made by Rock Island Manufacturing.

 

Monday Mystery

Another cast iron thingy found at a used tool shop. The angular end could be a stove or carriage-type wrench, but the curvy end is pretty confusing. Any ideas or guesses?

It will stand on the curvy end, for what it's worth.

Triumph X75 Hurricane by Craig Vetter

Show side

 

Other side...

 This bike was intended to be a BSA when Craig Vetter designed it in 1969, but somewhere in the corporate process, it was sold as a Triumph during the years 1972 and 73. About 1200 were made. 

Lots of info on the net about this beauty, I'd like one in my garage...
