One of my vices is vises, Parker No 31

Small Parker vise with 3" jaws. 

 

Elton Piano tuner hammers

Double ended hammer, with socket wrench actually...a high grade professional model... 

 I can say this is a tool I have never once thought about.

 

Ford Trimotor cockpit

 Pretty sophisticated for 1926 I guess, but the single-wall corrugated aluminum body panels would sure amplify the noise from that Wright Whirlwind mounted just in front of the windshield, complementing the two on the wings. But, progress, at least the crew is inside!

199 were built before being discontinued in 1933.

Boss Biscuit box

I can't buy every wooden box I find! No idea when Boss Biscuits went out of business, and I can't find a recipe or description of the actual (famous) lunch milk biscuit crackers.

 

Cadillac, it's all about the practicality...

Fact sheet.

 

Millers Falls multi-blade chisel set

Here's a nice little chisel set, packaged like multibit screwdriver.

SY Cangarda update

 A couple of years ago we happened upon the rebuilt and restored steam yacht Cangarda, wrapped up at Front St Shipyard in Belfast, Maine. Passing by yesterday, the shrink wrap has been removed and there seems to be activity around it.  It appears the owner has passed away and the yacht has been sold. Hope to see it in the water soon.

'50 Ford Custom Deluxe Sedan

Not sure if that paint scheme is original, but it looks nice.

Monday Mystery, a levering tool

Here we have a nice useful-looking tool made by Vaughan in the USA, that has hooks and moving arms and stuff.  No idea what it does. Anyone?

 

Greb #62 gear puller

Here's a nice gear puller made by the Greb Co. of Boston. Inventor Charles Beach received a patent in 1919 for a cam system which makes the jaws tighten against the workpiece when screw pressure is applied, minimizing the chance of the jaws slipping off. Here is a link to the 1927 catalog.
