Chairs look goodA lot of my clothes from Thrift stores. Lol.
We like farm auctions. I have some tractor implements, an sk 1/2 socket set for 20 bucks. A nice post vice that was buried in a pile on a choice bid. Vintage metal outdoor chairs. Got them powder coated. You have to watch for the one money bids though, sometimes you end up with a bunch of crap to haul off for one good item.
I like the old post vice, would love to restore it and put it in small collection it looks cool to me.. I'm also really interested in the sk sockets if you have a pic. Not sure how you want the $ sent by mail, to a walmart, pony express lolA Columbian made in USA. And the post vice just says 8 on it. I think it it very old.
That's cool I've been slowly putting a set together is sk. I'd you ever decide to sell the post vise let me know. I'd your ever looking for something and can't find it hollar it might be down here in FLA. Lol
Sorry was trying to get some tool talk going and see what vintage tool where found at markets. It didn't work out to well. Lol🔧
Very cool find. It looks heavy as all hell, cool of the local business to helpStumbled across this last fall...
We'd seen it in a field next to a small shack-style restaurant...tried to buy it from the owner...he wouldn't sell.
A couple of months later...he went out of businesd...shame because the food was good.
New owner was there clearing the field...we stopped and asked about the anchor. "If you van get it out of here in the next 30 minutes, you can have it.
Fucker weighs 400-500 lbs, so I ran to the local lumber yard a couple of blocks away. Their yard manager brought their delivery truck and forklift...loaded it and hauled it to my house. When I asked how much I owed him...$20. 😵
I handed him $30...and thanked him.
As near as I can tell, it's an old US Navy landing craft anchor. There was USN training base up the coast a few miles from here.
Oh...the chain is just an old log boom chain that was attached to the anchor...it's not a real anchor chain.
