Car boot finds

[Sparky415]

Been a busy day, picked up some interesting stuff this morning inc
A really cool little (Girl) Guides knife
A petrol stove I think  , came in a box decorated with scout wraping paper 

[enki_ck]

So .... when will you start making Morris style knives?

With the latest batch you should have a good stockpile of files.

I do have a few now    and MM is to blame for this

The Burston wrench is neat.  I hadn't seen one of those before.

[Sparky415]

I havn't had time to play with anything yet

I've never seen one before and as it was only 50p I got it to show you and Bob 
I have to stop buying wrenches I don't need 

[Zed]

Some very interesting Finds  Tony

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

It would be interesting to see that stove cleaned up and running.

I have to stop buying wrenches I don't need 

If the postage wasn't so expensive I would glady reimburse you the 50p and take it off your hands.

It looks like it would make a great head thumper.  Not suggesting mind you, just observing.....

I don't think its big enough for violence

Here it is with with a drop of meths, I think I need some instructions and a new leather washer before I fill it with petrol...

  And a volunteer 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Are there any marking you can see Sparky? I'm not really well versed in those old brass burny things, but there it a UK based forum that has loads of gallery photos and information - Spiritburner - I think it would be a paraffin burner, though Meths can be used to prime it.

There is also a UK based source for parts - Fettlebox

Oh my, is that a ball peen hammer head with an axe blade welded onto it?                          

[Sparky415]

Thanks for those links Spork, 

Its made by Radius in Sweden

David,
I'm not sure if extra metal has been added or not 
someone has taken a lot of time to make this one, its a little twisted but thats OK as the handle is a little bent 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

The question is now...who is going to volunteer to light it? 

[Santos]

 
By the blueness around the preheater it looks like T has already tried.
I have a portuguese Hippolite that i picked up with a primus blowlamp. Very similar look. Been meaning to get it running so i can flog it for a better price on ebay. (still haven't changed the seals on the primus either, i really want to braze old school)

I did pour a drop of meths in the preheater for the picture

I've bigger stuff for the Zombies 

 

[MultiMat]

I pity that poor old wire wheel 
If vinegar was a key ingredient in explosives manufacture I think Tony would be on the top of MI5's watch list 

Some great looking stuff Tony  , + I do like the hatchet hammer, reminds me of a Bridgeport multi tool 

[Sparky415]

Hi Matt 

I have been through a few of those wire wheels    they do start shedding after a while 

I do seem to have a lot of vinegaroon floating about 

Yep the Hatchet hammer is a cute little thing, probably be OK for making tent pegs and the like 

 

[Sparky415]

Had an early start and picked up a few good bits today 

1942 Air Ministry hand vice
3 'ok' folders and 5 nice knives
1 Waiter
2 Taylors Eye Witness knives
1 Pruner (can't read but prob Sheffield)
1 Spear & Jackson made in Sheffield (surprisingly nice)

And another slasher 

[Yadda]

The spear and jackson is a nice ag knife.  Pruner blade and saw.

[David]

Another nice haul Tony!

[MultiMat]

The poms sure do like their pruners  either that or they have had enough of pruning & are selling them all to Tony

Its about the only knife in the UK thats not considered a weapon 

[dks]

I got a couple of metal files last Sunday, to try and make knives.

There were lots of rusty tools etc., but I have new tools to use.
