I came upon these today. All Sheffield made. The bench vices need some pins to retain the screws, not a problem, I would imagine.
Ex-school and rescued from a skip
Two No. 52 wood vices and two 2090 engineer's vices, a model I've not seen before.

This clamp came back today, It was in a old car i picked up quite rusty but someone gave it a clean up, Then he told me he collects them and he had a sad dog face on him when he said it so i gave it him for his collection...

I like that VERY much.
If you ever have any spare, I'd be interested in aquiring some? For beer tokens, obviously.

I've got a few Carver Clamps but I didn't know they were from my home town of Walsall. So I searched and found this history of the company.

I bought a varied lot of tools at my local auction, some of it was no name tat which'll be seeing the inside of the local charity shop I use. The good stuff included a 6", 8" and 12" Moore and Wright engineers squares, a rather worn M&W 1" mic, a scribing block, the usual selection of drill bits and reamers, 13 x 1/4 carbide burrs of various sections. A WW1 Barbed Wire Cutter, A nice '30's brace and bit, a couple of planes and some 40's/50's screwdrivers and some woodworking chisels plus some cold chisels and some other bits and pieces which will come in useful. Not a bad haul

Love the Elu things, my mate has a scroll saw like that its so useful for small shapesView attachment 133991 A new (to me) Elu bandsaw.
Bit bigger than I was expecting (I hear that a lot).
Gonna be selling my multispeed metal/wood cutting bandsaw soon - which is bigger still!
