I picked up a few things on an auction in the last week but have not had a proper chance to look at stuff until now.
First up is a Victoria dividing head.
I will be the first to admit that I know almost nothing about dividing heads.
It looks like the chuck says Burnerd model 130A. It also looks like there is a chunk missing out of it
I do not have any extra plates or any other gears so it looks to be incomplete. Maybe not the best buy.......
Next up is a Pratt Burnerd 12" 4 jaw chuck.
With my untrained eye it looks to be in good shape. Catalogue No 1502-63201.
It requires a good scrubbing but all looks to be in order.
Not quite sure what the value of it will be.
I don't have a lathe YET but even when I get one, I seriously doubt that beast will fit on it. I will probably sell it on again.
So in summary, I bought stuff AGAIN that I don't really know much about at all

Nice piece, but ...
That's a bit strange: 50 x 25.4 = 1,270 so the 27-mark (for 1m27cm) should be exactly opposit the 50"-mark ...
... or are the two scale's respective zeros and therfore the starts of the vernier scales not exactly opposit from each other?
(or imperial cm are just bigger by nature)

Might’ve wrong but the stripper clip on those rounds looks like a .303 clip?

Left out at the roadside were these: the drill batteries dont charge however one of the lads at work has had them, there was another cantilever tool box also gone to the drill man. I guess the item in the top right of the first pic is a caravan dish (anyone want it?), there were a couple of dinghy paddles - nice bit of doweling and the best is the Husqvarna meat grinder.

Stamped US Goverment on the clip.
Base of the rounds are stamped .30, 1941.
Acquired it on Friday after spending the last month using Google Maps on my tablet which was propped up precariously on the dash
.Had 5 minutes looking at it in the van yesterday and managed to input the postcode for the yard but couldn't cancel the route, so the damned thing has been chiming at me and trying to get me to turn south for the last 300-odd miles
. Just spent a quite frustrating and bad language-inducing 10 minutes on Tomtom's website while parked on an industrial estate near Bridge of Don, that just happens to be under the flight path of EVERY helicopter ever made 
, and a teeny tiny light is now visible at the end of this metaphorical tunnel 
.Oh to be 12 years old and able to understand technology...
hmm, tomtom sell incomplete databases, which need you to sign up via the internet to download the complete version. Took mine back to Halfords over it - they insisted I had to sign up, or keep it as it was. So now my tomtom doesn't have my home postcode, unbelievable.View attachment 352985
