A big hand-full of Axes 
Battered ARPAX
BAK but made for the general public with no writing on the side
Compass (for drawing circles not going for around in  )
Tiny wood rasp
Screwdriver for '6mm screw-driver bits'
Lovely old ('socket-ed' I think) wood chisel (cant see the maker yet)
A plastic handled chisel from Footprint
Lovely (but battered) brass folding rule made by I & D Smallwood, Birmingham
Smallish Ball pein hammer

A good morning all round

I think Tony must have started a mini economy in second hand axes in his local area.  Anyone and everyone is heading there to sell their old rusty axe heads.

So I'm some kind of rust economy magnet? Part of the thriving 'red' market?

Though one Guy did say here comes the 'Axe Man' (a tool selling chap that I sometimes have a little chat with) and another couple used to call me 'the Knife Man' (not seen them for a while)

No chance of Tony getting mugged on the way back to his car/Axemobile  .
Tony you should warn any would be assailant;'Mate your gonna need stitches and a extra large tetanus shot '  & that is for just the pick pockets 

[Sparky415]

I normally just get the G/F to carry it all back to the car     (you can bribe them with bacon sarnies or a sausage  )             


Tetanus

Tetanus 

Tony you don't know about Tetanus 

"Tetanus is often associated with rust/Tony" from Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetanus Should read; "see Tony's shed"

Bob very kindly found me some information on the USA made file in this picture 






Bob's reply was;
I did a bit of digging, and I believe your file was made by the Kearney & Foot company. Here are a couple of links you might be interested in:

Hope that helps, and please feel free to share this info with everyone.
Take care!
Bob

Thanks very much for your help Bob!

Not exactly a car boot, however just got back from Castleton visiting a second hand shop we found at the mot meet here in Sheffield. Fortunately I did not have to sing and I picked up this lot.
Nomad
Midnite manager
Old Escort

Also picked up a really good hole punch for leather work

[Sparky415]

That was a very strange but interesting shop 

Picked up a couple of axes today one is very rusted and one has an extra long handle 
Also another footprint padsaw (can't own too many padsaws  )

Apart from some fruit and veg a very quiet morning I guess its nearly season end 

[Sparky415]

Last grass bootsale for the year, Had to scrape a little ice off my windscreen this morning 

Another Vice …. you can't have too many 
A mini Dremel  (my 'dremel' died last week)
Couple of ax heads 
Couple of nice scrapers
two punches
Circlip pliers, made in Sheffield
Another carving knife, brace, coping saw and hammer
One very rusty BAK
And (  I blame Waterlander for this!) a Draw knife

 

[enki_ck]

Love the drill to the right. It looks NEW.

[MultiMat]

Tony not the last sale  .

Do they now head in doors/under cover 

[nuphoria]

Good score at Castleton Mark - even better when you don't to sing for it
