Your 112 looks to be an older model. Does it have any symbols or dots after the number 112 on the tang stamp?

Yes, Their is a dot before and after the 112.

Yes, Their is a dot before and after the 112.

That means it was made between 1974 and 1980. The blade would be 440C steel. Are you going to use it?

I am not sure if I am going to use it or not. I bought because I thought it was a good deal.

You still have to sift through a lot of old smurf to find the good stuff 
and talk to a lot of mad people
But that is half the fun

Do they not sell things if people move/die there? I'll take a picture of my best recent score, the only estate sale I've seen all year


Edit: This, a turntable, an old pair of cee tee co slipjoints, a couple files, steel cups, 7.62 ammo box, cheap West Germany needlenoses, and an old pyrex (borosilicate not soda-lime glass) dish, for $35!

As for this? NIB 1973 Coleman 2 burner stove, wasn't even opened up (cardboard still on tank, all papers included). It's even got a little scissor-opening stand. Always wanted one

Looks like you did well Mate 

Over here I think you sell the good stuff to antique dealers then you get a ‘house clearance’ Guy to come around and take everything else...
He then sells it at a carboot sale 

Good hunting

Photobucket is not playing the game because my computer is old

Just in case you were wondering why I bought these three old spanners


 
Inside of garage door 



Some old spanners, an adjustable that isn’t and a couple of twisted G clamps



A blow lamp 



Was going to add some brass bits  but wanted British excentric not steam punk



Sorted  happy now 

[Yadda]

Nice job!

[zoidberg]

That is so much better.

A Camillus electricians knife (marked Xcelite brand K-22 on the blade)
Another Hadson lighter   
And another tool box

Right proper fixtures for the man cave!        There for a minute you had me concerned with this statement Tony wanted British excentric not steam punk had me  for a bit. Scrolling down the post it all made sense.       Clever way to extend the usefullness of an old wrench! Looks  also.

There was no fixing that poor little adjustable spanner so I got him three friends to play with

Yep I was looking for a way to use those copper ‘P’ clips but it was getting a bit silly 

[Sparky415]

I must not buy any more axes
The motor end of a Draper wood lathe  (missing the drive belt)
I must not buy any more axes
And a Tormek grinder  (missing the little water trough)
I must not buy any more axes
A broken German adjustable spanner that has been wielded back together, seems to work well
I must not buy any more axes
