Let's post our Made in USA tool finds (yard sales, old store stock, auctions etc)

Still have just about every thing shown. Wood on drivers in poor shape & wrenches rusty. But still work fine.

Take a chip to a paint shop and see if they can match it.

Paint shop near me, can do a color match and put it a rattle can. Pretty cool they can do that.

Terry please do post a vertical mount. This sounds like it might be the ticket.

I started 'gently' trying to remove paint to get down to the original Wilton blue/green. Would love to find a rattle can of the OEM paint.

Scored this vintage Littlestown Vise at the flea mkt this past weekend for $35.

Possibly dates back to pre WW2 era late 30's as someone knowledgeable over on the Garage Journal says the foundry inscription markings of New York, NY. were changed post war in the 50's to read Littlestown PA. which is much more commonly found on Littlestown vises


Good shape original paint.

Just picked up this "auction find" today (I'm recovering from open heart surgery so technically I used the forklift).

Made in USA. 6" jaws/ 160 pounds.

Yep... super find... get it bolted down soon as it could really ruin your day if it fell off the bench.

Like the pipe jaws because they make it much more versatile...

I would love to have one of those....but have no idea what I would use it for.

It would make my shop look like I knew what I was doing '
