6" SLENDER JAW NEEDLENOSE VISE-GRIP PLIERS
IRWIN NEEDLE NOSE LOCKING PLIERS, 6LN
New Old Stock (NOS). Rare 6" Slender Jaw Needle
Nose Irwin Vise-Grip Pliers / Needlenose Locking Pliers, marked 6LN, Made in USA, and with
the standard side cutter. Please note that top left image is the mirror image
of the other side of the pliers shown in bottom image to point pliers in the
same direction as bottom image for aesthetic and comparison purposes. We have
20 of these Slender Jaw Vise-Grip locking pliers / gripping pliers with the
unique slender needlenose jaws. We don't know whether they were made this way
by the factory or machined by their former owner (most likely as there are minor
variations between pliers, but there are also minor variations between factory-manufactured
Vise-Grips; the pliers you receive may not be the exact same pliers as shown
in the image). Typical of all Vise-Grip pliers, these are very high quality
Vise-Grips. Compared to most foreign made similar gripping pliers, Vise-Grips
have excellent jaw fitting and jaw closure reliability, and are much more resistant
to bending, twisting, distorting, breaking and wearing out. These special thin-nose
Vise-Grip locking pliers are absolutely great!
Their slender needlenose structure has major advantages
over similar standard-nose Vise-Grips and over every type of non-locking needlenose
pliers:
(1) Allows access to
hard-to-reach places - tighter spaces and deeper places. Even if your Vise-Grip
standard long-nose pliers can reach the work, these special slend nose Vise-Grip
pliers provide you more space for positioning, placing, maneuvering, turning
and twisting the part - your work gets done faster, easier and more reliably.
(2) Because these Vise-Grip
pliers nose is long and slender, it holds and grips parts (e.g. nuts, screws,
washers, nails, pins, rods, hardware, etc.) better than the standard long nose
Vise-Grip pliers and much better than non-locking needlenose pliers. Due to
the much increased spring action of the slender needle nose, these pliers permit
both greater force on the held object AND greater surface area of the jaws contact
with the object, thereby distributing this greater force over a greater contact
area - resulting in both tighter holds and less pounds per square inch exerted
on the object, thereby increasing your hold while also reducing both marring
and crushing probabilities. While many non-locking needle nose pliers also come
with a long, slender jaws similar to these, but since they don't lock, they
are much harder and less reliable to use than these special Vise-Grip needlenose
pliers, especially if any kind of force is being applied to the gripped part.
The result is better and more reliable positioning and less slipping and twisting
of the held part. Also, by these pliers more firmly gripping the parts you handle,
you are much less likely to lose parts by dropping them or by them slipping
or twisting out of the pliers jaws. You know how stressful it is when you drop
or lose control of a part - especially if its a valuable or irreplaceable part
or under emergency conditions. If these Vise-Grip pliers can save you from losing
even one such part or dealing with an emergency, they may have more than paid
for themselves!
Great for electronics, mechanical work, crafting, model work, watch repair / clock repair, jewelry repair, gun repair, fishing, car/airplane/boat repairs, emergency repairs, general household uses, and every other application where precision, access to tight spaces, and/or reliable gripping, holding and moving are required.
LIMITED QUANTITY. We have a dozen of these left to sell.

VISE-GRIP TUBULAR PLIERS, CUSTOMIZED VISE-GRIP
PLIERS
Like new but used and in very good condition. Unusual Vise-Grip Tubular Pliers, Customized Vise-Grip Pliers. Heavy-duty, 7-1/2" long, labeled 7R. These high-quality Vise-Grips have four factory modifications, three welded-on: (1) Upper round jaw, (2) Lower round jaw, (3) Special underneath front grip extension, and (4) Drilled-through 1/4" diameter hole. The two round jaws are 1/8"-thick, 1" long hard brass, with an oval opening (when Vise-Grips are closed) of about 3/4"-wide and 1/2"-high. Ideally designed to clamp onto round pipe, tubing, conduit, hose, cable, wire bundles, rod and other round stock and other objects which are 1/2"-3/4" in outer diameter, but will also securely clamp onto flat surfaces, oval objects, odd-shaped objects and irregular objects and other objects as well. One can add onto and/or modify the jaws for many other possible uses as well. The added front grip extension is also an excellent modification because it much increases your ability to hold onto the Vise-Grip pliers to pull, lift, carry or drag heavy or difficult objects, for turning the pliers under heavy loads, or when your hands have oil or water on them to minimize slipping (all Vise-Grip pliers should have this very useful feature). The 1/4" drilled-through hole is also very useful as you can use it to hang up the Vise-Grips on peg board or nail, and also to hard-join two or more of these Vise-Grips together using threaded rod, or soft-join them using rope, string or springs (e.g. for stretching jobs) (another very useful feature that all Vise-Grip pliers should have). For example, you can use two or more Vise-Grips bolted together at optimum distances to suspend a window, gate or other object for mechanical work or spray painting. We have 8 of these nearly identical Vise-Grips to sell, which means both that you can buy more than one from us and the one you get may not be the one in the images.

VERSATILE MAESTRO CLAMP-ALL SYSTEM, M1201
w/ 4 CLAMP RINGS + HOW-TO MANUAL
EXPANSION TOOL / SPREADER TOOL / SEPARATOR TOOL
New old stock (NOS). Versatile Maestro Clamp-All System, M1201, with 4 Ring Clamps and How-to Manual. The Maestro Clamp-All System serves as an expansion tool / spreader tool / separator tool primarily used to expand spring-like C-type clamps to secure the clamps onto various objects you need to secure or work on. The Maestro Clamp-All System is about ideal for clamping many different kinds of objects together, including mouldings, picture frames, laminations, furniture repair, and many other assembly and repair jobs being glued, nailed, screwed or soldered. Can also be used to stretch and open elastic bands of various sizes, and to straighten 1/4" or smaller pipe and rods. How-to Manual is not lengthy but describes various commonly available objects in which you can derive both clamping rings of various diameters (e.g. the 4 rings we provide were made by us, see image) and strong, long-lasting elastic bands of various sizes and strengths you can cut to the widths you want (Note: The Maestro-made rings of various sizes can also be bought commercially). Great for general home repairs and shop repairs, crafts, model making, clock repair / watch repair, jewelry work, and for bundling rods, pipes, tubes, cables, wires and other objects together.
One big advantage with the Maestro Clamp-All System, M1201, especially for field work, is that for jobs which require multiple clamps, all you need is one Maestro tool and a handful of clamping rings - no more hauling around a box full of clamps - compact and efficient to use and store. A second big advantage of the Maestro Clamp-All System is that it clamps many types and shapes of items together, including odd-shaped objects and objects coming together at unusual angles - works in places and on jobs other clamps simply cannot touch - especially nice for craft work. A third big advantage of the Maestro tool is that it works fast (no more tedious screw clamps). A fourth big advantage of the Maestro tool is that it not only works great with its clamp rings, but also with elastic bands ranging from store-bought rubber bands to the cheap-to-make but very strong elastic bands our How-to Manual tells you how to make.
LIMITED QUANTITY. We have only one of these.

RARE HANDHELD PINCH CLAMP / FLY-TYING VISE
CRAFTS, MODELING, ELECTRONICS, JEWELRY, CLOCKS
Used and in excellent condition. Rare Handheld Pinch Clamp / Gripper Clamp. This hand held pinch vise or pinch clamp tool was made from a rare antique tool (no parts of the antique tool are missing or modified). Pinch clamp opens up to about 5/16" (if bigger gap is needed, use a longer thumb screw). Its two washers have rubber pads on them so as not to mar your held object. You can easily remove these two washers and substitute in bigger washers, smaller washers, oval washers, rectangular washers, and other odd-shape and odd-type washers or extensions you can make or buy to customize this tool for your various needs. You can also stack on more than two washers or extensions to hold multi-layer, laminated and mulitple objects.

VERSATILE PEANUT DISPENSER TOOL, ALUMINUM
Used and very good condition. Versatile Peanut Dispenser Tool, aluminum, one-hand operation. If you do much shipping then you use much packing peanuts. What you do is fill up a large cloth bag with packing peanuts with a hook at its bottom. You then rubber band or clamp this tool to the mouth of the filled bag, invert the bag and then hang bag from a sturdy wall hook, pipe or beam. Then, whenever you need to add shipping peanuts to a shipping box, you simply place the open box under the mouth of this packing peanut dispenser tool, squeeze the handle to quickly and efficiently dispense the amount of packing peanuts you need. No longer do you need to dip your hands or some tool into the packing peanuts, which many consider to be unsafe. No longer do you have to frustratingly contend with packing peanuts sticking to your hands or clothes because of their static electricity or falling onto the floor.
While originally designed to dispense packing peanuts, this very versatile tool can also be used to hold, carry, measure, sort and/or quickly dispense just about any other group of small solid objects, such a real peanuts, nuts, grains, seeds, small fruit, popcorn, granular powders, screws, nuts, bolts, nails, other small hardware, electronic parts, crafts parts, gems, stones, fertilizer - you name it! You can fill it by using itself as a scooper, or using your hands, small shovel or another scooper to fill it. Not recommended for liquids or fine powders (as liquids will leak from it), however, it will also work find to help strain water from other small objects or granular material.

WILDE GRIP & PULL PLIERS / SPREADER /
SEPARATOR
Used and works excellently. Wilde Grip & Pull Pliers / Spreader / Separator. These separator / spreader pliers are great! Primarily used to remove one object from inside another object (e.g. a wire, rod, tube or pipe inserted inside of a larger one). You simply place the two objects into the jaws of the pliers, then squeeze the handles. The pliers first grips tightly and uniformly around each object as its jaws close. Then, as you squeeze more on the handles, the jaws steadily pull apart, smoothly and steadily removing the gripped smaller object from the gripped larger object. This is the kind of tool that most users don't use frequently, however, when you need it, virtually nothing else will work or at least work nearly as well (if you use pliers, you likely will crush the objects, if you use your hands, you won't nearly have the leverage and smoothness that these pliers have). This is a great tool for crafters, modelers, electronic fabricators, clockmakers, jewelers, and others doing fine and precision work. And for general shop uses.

RARE LEFT-HANDED FISKARS SCISSORS.
Used and in very good condition - sharp and cuts easily. Rare, Left-Handed Fiskars Scissors. Fiskars Corporation (Finland) scissors and Fiskars cutting products (e.g. cutlery such as knives, blades, cleavers, machetes and swords, and trimmers, hatchets, axes, saws and garden tools) use very high quality Fiskars steel. We find no comparison between the quality of Fiskars scissors and those made, for example, by Pacific Rim countries. Today, most modern scissors are made ergonomically, that is conforming to either the right hand or the left hand, for user-friendly manual operation. Since 90+% of people can use scissors in either hand, left-handed scissors are rare. What this means is that while a scissors will fit very comfortably in one hand, it is practically unusable in the other hand as opposed to the old-style scissors which fit in either hand is mediocre.

ADJUSTABLE-HEAD CLAW HEAD HAMMER
ADJUSTABLE CLAW HAMMER HEAD /
ADJUSTABLE CLAW HEAD HAMMER /
ADJUSTABLE HAMMER HEAD - RARE, STEEL
Used and in very good condition; all functions are
excellent, there is no visible rust and plastic on handle is in great condition
and snug-tight. Rare high-quality steel Adjustable-Head Claw Head Hammer. We
recently bought this adjustable-head claw head hammer at an estate sale (a year
earlier, we bought another one exactly like this adjustable hammer also at an
estate sale where the wife of the deceased stated that hammer's owner was a
tool inventor, which we sold Nov. 6 on eBay for $995), so this adjustable-head
claw hammer may even be an invention prototype, manufacturer's approval sample,
or a (very) limited issue tool (we do not know how many were made or are still
available). With decades of experience of buying unusual tools, we have found
only three adjustable head hammers, including this one, all of this same type,
all found near Albuquerque, NM, and we own this one and the one we have in our
tool collection.
UTILITY: The claw hammer's
head is easily and quickly adjusted. You simply push in the long black lever,
and then position the head to the desired angle (of 3 angles), then release
the lever, leaving the head rigidly and securely at selected angle. This adjustable-head
claw hammer has outstanding advantages over standard non-adjustable hammers.
In its traditional "T" head position, the hammer has all the uses of normal
claw head hammers of this general size, shape and weight. However, with the
head pointed up of this adjustable hammer, you can reach 2+ inches higher, and
it also great for working on vertical surfaces (e.g. walls and fences), slanted-up
surfaces (e.g. roofs), for nailing near the edge of a surface you don't want
to accidentally hit or score (e.g. high up on a wall near a ceiling), for difficult
ceilings and overhead work, and for nailing nails angled towards you. With the
head pointed down, hammering on slanted-down surfaces (e.g. roofs), difficult
underside surfaces, and for nails angled away from you. Of equal importance,
when you pull nails or separate stuck boards using a claw hammer's claw, the
angle of the hammer handle, along with your body's position, are critical to
the amount of leverage you can apply (i.e. nail-pulling force / board-separating
force). With this adjustable-head claw hammer, you can adjust head angle to
much more easily, quickly and efficiently pull nails and separate stuck boards.
For maximum leverage for pulling nails, the angled-up hammer head position is
especially powerful where you are also pushing against the surface with the
nails. This great increase in hammer efficiency means you can hammer or pull
faster, more easily, and with less resulting strain, busted knuckles and 'aches-and-pains'
at the end of your work day using this adjustable head hammer.
COLLECTIBLE: This is
an incredible collectible hammer find! We can find no other adjustable head
hammer anywhere. If you collect rare tools in general or hammers or claw hammers
in particular, your collection will never be complete and always have a glaring
deficiency without this incredible adjustable-head claw hammer as part of your
collection! A real treasure and conversation piece!

NORPRO APPLE CORER / APPLE PEELER / APPLE SLICER
Used and in very good condition. Norpro Apple Corer / Apple Peeler (Apple Parer) / Apple Slicer combination tool. Apple peelers/corers by themselves are fairly common, usually about $20 in very good condition. However, a high quality apple peeler / apple corer / apple slicer combination like this fine Norpro tool is rare these days. Not limited to apples, but works on other fruits as well, including large fruits. For this Norpro model, the 3-prong head can be unscrewed, leaving a threaded screw that other attachments can be mounted to (other attachments not included). And the slicer tube can also be unscrewed and removed. These features are especially useful if you want to convert the Norpro into a nice, wide-opening, strong but yet lightweight vise or clamp by screwing on a large washer head instead of the prong head and removing the slicer tube. Or even as a manual lathe where the peeler arm is modified to hold a cutting tool. This Norpro Apple Corer / Apple Peeler / Apple Slicer is easily clamped to a table top, work bench or desk top. When completely wound in, it is 14-3/4" long.

SCABBARD MATERIALS: KNIFE SCABBARDS,
SWORD SCABBARDS, CHISEL SCABBARDS
These are new materials for making scabbards of many different kinds and types. Now, you can make your own scabbards for your edged devices, including for knives, swords, daggers, bayonets, sabers, samurais, machetes, other cutlery, and other tools, such as saw blades, files, picks, etc. See below for quantities. Each set consists of one piece of hard plastic core scabbard material that is 21" long and will hold blades up to 1-1/4" wide and 1/8" thick, plus one 24" long piece of 1" diameter (1-5/8" flat width) soft plastic heatshrink tubing which you can cover the hard platic core material with if you wish (you can of course use the heat shrink for anything else you want to). The images show these scabbard materials with both a sword and a knife inserted for demonstration purposes to show you how these materials work. You can use these materials to make one or more scabbards by cutting them to your needed lengths. The heatshrink tubing is provided longer than the hard plastic so that by cutting it a little longer than your scabbard, it will conform to the top and/or bottom of the scabbard so there is no exposed scabbard top and/or bottom edge. The heatshrink tubing is shrunk using a heat gun, and it shrinks up to 1/2 its cross sectional size to conform to shapes, which in this case, to the hard plastic core material. The heat shrink tubing reduces only in cross sectional size - not in length. This sale is for one 21" piece of hard plastic core material plus one piece of 24" soft plastic heatshrink material (sword and knife not included).
These scabbard materials are durable materials that should last a very long time. They are very resistant to moisture, oils, salt spray and a wide variation of temperatures and humidity. Water, oils and dirt can only enter the scabbard through its top or bottom (if bottom is left open) - never soaking through either scabbard material itself. And both materials are very easily cleaned. The hard plastic is smooth to permit quick removal of the knife or sword from the scabbard, and for insertion back into it (if the blade does not fit too tightly). The blade can also be lubricated for even faster scabbard action. The hard plastic core material has less stiction to it than any other material We have ever seen used as a scabbard core material. Whether or not you survive a situation in which a knife or sword is required (e.g. being attacked by a feral animal) often depends upon how quickly you remove the knife or sword from its scabbard!
There are numerous scabbard, holder and other related uses of these materials. The most common use is as an inner scabbard form in which a crafts person then embellishes it with a leather, cloth or decorative outer finish. For example, a piece of leather with belt slots and a tie-down loop can be cemented to the back of the hard plastic core length you cut for your scabbard, after curing of cement, the heatshrink is slipped over the hard plastic core and leather, and then heat-shrunk to hold the leather even more securely, and then the outer layer of the heatshrink is covered with more leather, plastic or cloth.
These scabbard materials can also produce working scabbard that one can use to hold and position edged devices while doing additional shop work on them, for example, while adding a hilt or handle or painting, decorating, repairing or restoring the blade's hilt or handle. The hard plastic core material can also be used as a travel and field scabbard for your blades so that your blades are well-protected in your tool box, enroute and in the field (e.g. hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, climbing, spelunking, construction sites, etc.), while at the same time, you can separately store or pack the corresponding decorative scabbard that you use only for your display, sale, storage and other minimal handling situations in safe, clean and controlled environments. A knife or sword always displays and sells better if its original scabbard is in pristine condition. The scabbard you make can also be integrated with a gun holster, saddle, tool belt, boot, etc. You can also make scabbards for your tools, such as chisels and small bits, to keep them clean, dry and safe between jobs. And you can easily make scabbards for your kitchen knives as well, which will not only make them safer to handle but will also protect them from dust and germs floating around in the air eager to land on exposed surfaces, such a knife blades.
These materials make great temporary scabbards you can use to protect knife, sword and tool blades you find at gun shows, flea markets, garage sales and antique stores being sold without their original scabbards (and likely at bargain prices because they lack their scabbards). It sure beats walking around with an exposed blade or sharpened point, or putting it in your carry bag where it can cut or poke through. And if you sell knives, swords and tools with sharp edges or pointed tips, you no doubt have some that don't have scabbards, and even a temporary scabbard is much better than no scabbard at all. Like everything else, scabbards get lost, damaged and worn out, and leather (used to make most scabbards) rots away over the years and decades (especially when used in a rugged or outdoor environment), so many knives, swords and tools still in great shape (especially antiques) no longer have their scabbards, and without scabbards, they have lost much of their utility and value.
Working on these materials is pretty easy. The scabbard material should be slowly cut on a sturdy surface using a fine saw blade generally used for hard steels. The bottom end of the hard plastic core can be "V"-cut to make it conform more to the point end shapes of most knives and swords. You can close the tip of the pointed end with cement (some plastic cements work good with it), or close the pointed or flat end with a screw(s) or rivet(s) so loose tool blades don't fall through. We generally leave the bottom open to permit ventilation so that when outdoors in a humid environment, a little ventilation much reduces any condensation that might otherwise build up inside the scabbard due to high humidity conditions. The heatshrink tubing is shrunk to fit using a heat gun. Most hair dryers don't get hot enough. The heatshrink can also be shrunk using an open flame, radiated stove or oven heat or a large soldering iron. The important thing to remember when shrinking heatshrink tubing is to keep the item rotating and moving in the heat environment so that the heat is evenly distributed and uniformly shrinks the heatshrink as hot spots can cause warped shrinking and even melt the hard plastic core underneath. And then heat the heatshrink tubing just to the point that it shrinks to fit the form - once it has shrunk, remove the heat source.
Scabbards are not only very important in protecting the blade from being exposed to moisture, salts, oils, solvents, dirt, mechanical damage such as edge dulling/chipping and point breaking/blunting, etc., but also to protect those who can come in contact with the blade (especially children and animals), on purpose or accidentally, from getting cut or injured by the blade. Even if you are currently fully outfitted with scabbards for all of your blades, if you unexpectantly lose or damage a scabbard, you could be left with a dangerous exposed blade - it is a very good idea to have spare scabbard material readily available so that you can make yourself at least a temporary replacement scabbard in such situations.
These scabbard materials are antistatic and excellent thermal insulators and electrical insulators. And both scabbard materials are lightweight and durable. The hard plastic core material is transparent (while most are untinted, some come in tints like yellow, amber, blue - we can only send what we have available), so that you can handle and view the blade through the core material (as shown) while it is being protected by the hard plastic core from skin contact. Note that the hard plastic core material is rigid; therefore, if your knife, sword or bladed tool is curved beyond the 1-1/4" overall scabbard width, this scabbard material will not work with it. Also note that the standard size we usually get this material in is 21" long; however, we don't manufacture this material or cut it from longer stock but just get it as shown, so length may vary from about 20.5" to close to 24", and each each stick of the hard plastic core material has one or two small holes punched in the ends, which can be adapted for tie-down or other purpose. Note that this hard plastic core material was NOT manufactured originally for scabbard use but to store highly specialized steel and plastic industrial parts for periods of years to decades; however, it just so happens to also be an excellent scabbard core material which this additional application for it we invented (to the best of my knowledge and belief), and this is why we both use and sell it as scabbard material.

At the bottom of both images is a "U" shaped 4" long handle which allows this device to be bolted onto a square piece of wood, metal or pipe, or secured by a clamp or vise to secure it to a work surface. In the top image, this handle points towards you, and in the bottom image it points away from you.

RARE, ANTIQUE GAYLORD BROS. BOOK PRESS /
GAYLORD BROS. PAPER PRESS,
INDUSTRIAL BINDERY EQUIPMENT,
FAST SETUP OF WORK / FAST RELEASE OF WORK
(Sorry, we are currently out of this great Gaylord Press, and looking for more). This Gaylord paper press / Gaylord book press is used and in great condition. Works great. Heavy duty book press / paper press / object press. Great book binding equipment as either a printer collectible / bindery collectible or for the job. If job efficiency and speed are important to you, this press / compressor is well-designed and practically unbeatable as set up and release of objects of even highly varying thicknesses being pressed / compressed is easy and fast. Press will handle books, piles of papers, cardboard or anything else you want to press together (up to 8" thick), for examples, to do glue jobs / cement jobs, to press leaves / press flowers, to squeeze out water from cloth, to do prints, to press in indentations / stampings / embossings, for molds, to press electronic components / mechanical components into assemblies, to keep object in a fixed position so it doesn't move around or shift while you are tooling it or painting it, etc. Uses are virtually endless!
Boards are 12" x 7" x 1/2" plywood and are somewhat aged and worn, but you can easily replace them with other boards, metal plates, plastic plates, molds, frames, etc., as they are attached with screws. And of course you can always sandwich between the boards other boards, tempered glass, plastic plates, metal plates, moldings, etc. of various sizes and shapes. The center of the clamp stands 4" from the front edge of the steel shaft that holds the clamp assembly. This means that for boards or plates upto 8" wide, the clamp can be exactly centered. You can substitute or sandwich in boards, etc. up to about 12" wide (if you don't require exact clamp centering) and up to about 16" long for larger works, and of course you can always use smaller boards, etc. as you wish.
The right part of second image shows the bottom of the press and how it sits on surfaces. The top board or plate is easily removed once you release the pressure on it so that you get good visibility in placing and positioning your work on top of the bottom board or plate. Initial positioning is made by quickly sliding up the clamp assembly with its top board/plate along the steel shaft, similarly to how many long carpenter clamps work, and then positioning the top board / plate and snugly tightening down with the clamp's worm screw mechanism to compress the object.
This press is moderate in weight compared to typical worm-screw only presses (which we also sell, see my webpages), and with its convenient "carrying handle" (i.e. the steel shaft), it is highly portable and easy to transport, place, set up and manueuver on the fly on work benches, work tables, pick-up beds, van shops, and other work surfaces. If you replace the boards with metal plates, you can even use the press on a heated surfaces to do hot presses.

RARE, VINTAGE DENTURE PRESS +
CRAFTS PRESS / HOBBY PRESS / MODEL SHOP PRESS / AUTO SHOP PRESS
INDUSTRIAL SHOP PRESS / PRODUCTION PRESS / GENERAL SHOP PRESS
(Sorry, we are sold out of these, we are trying to get more of them). We bought this press at an estate sale; son of deceased told us that his father was a dentist and used these presses decades ago to make dentures. Great as a car shop press, machine shop press, crafts shop press, hobby press, modeling press, general mechanical press, production press for factory, other business and home as a press, clamp or vise. Weighs about 13 lbs. Height is 10.5" when cranked all the way down. Handle is 11.5" long, which can of course be extended for greater pressing power using a pipe extension. Plate area is 7" X 4" (upper round press plate is 4" in dia.). Clearance can be varied from 1" to 5-1/8" for thick objects. Horizontal clearance is 4-1/2" wide, so it easily takes 2x4 amd 4x4 lumber and 4" pipe. Worm screw is 3/4" thick steel. While We have had it cranked down to several 100s of pounds of pressure, best we could tell, it was not even close to its limit (which is not stated on is unknown). The screw-press does have surface rust on it but as far as we can tell, the does not appreciably affect either its operation or maximum applied force. However, since neither the base nor the bottom of the round upper press plate is real smooth, the user might want to slide in 1/4" - 1" thick hardwood, pressed board, metal, plastic or rubber surfaces, according to what suits his/her needs best when smooth contact is required. Can be easily mounted on a work bench, work table, pick up truck bed, RV, van, camper, etc.
Just consider some of the practically unlimited clamp, vise and press functions that a press like this can do for you with the appropriate dies and forms (no dies or forms come with it): (1) Flattening metal, bending metal, forming metal, shaping metal, and swaging metal. (2) Pressing on patches, silkscreens, logos, signatures, boiler plates, etc. (3) Using "cookie cutter" type dies to cut out or punch either cold or hot shapes in wood, plastics and light metals. (4) Printing press. (5) Crushing or pulverizing rocks, bones and other crushable objects and materials for mechanical geological, archaeological, paleontological, forensic, chemical, biological, biomedical, etc. applications. (6) Press fitting gears, pins and rivets. (7) As a punch press. (8) Embossing images and lettering into just about anything that can fit into it that is wood, plastic and thin/soft metals. (9) Pressing and laminating flowers and leaves and other collectibles. (10) For many other glue or cement jobs. (11) Compacting items. (12) Holding items secure for just about any reason, such as for sawing, drilling, threading (e.g. rods, plumbing pipe).

BLICK ECONO ETCH MODEL II PRESS, ROLLING PRESS
ROTATIONAL PRESS: LAMINATIONS, ETCHINGS,
IMAGE TRANSFERS, BLOCK PRINTING
+ STEEL PLATE + SPECIAL HANDLE
(We just sold this device, but are trying to get more in; if interested, please email us and we will put you on our list). Used and in great condition. Blick Econo Etch Model II Press. This is an industrial-grade Blick steel rotational press / rolling press which manually presses items together using two steel rollers, similar to some printing presses. Rollers are 10-1/2" wide. Spacing between rollers is adjustable up to several inches (each side is adjusted independently to achieve just the right pressure and to accommodate uneven work). These presses have endless and critical uses for the general shop, crafts, hobbies, model-making, printing, photography, etchings, etc. For example, one can carve out a logo, figures, message, etc. on a square of linoleum, ink it up and run it through the press to tranfer the image onto paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, wood, etc. For example, one can use it to cement to items together under the pressure of the rollers. Except for some surface discoloration in the bottom roller and on the 19-1/2" x 10-1/2" x 1/8" heavy steel plate, the press is in mint condition. There is no pitting on either the rollers or the plate. The steel plate can be used as a press plate for the pressing process, or a bottom plate to hold or collect items related to the pressing process, put it on blocks and use it as a feeding tray, or for whatever other press or non-press use you can make of it. The original handle got lost, so we made a steel handle that in my opinion works better and faster than the original handle. This Blick press is a cold press, and not a thermal press. It does not come with a manual, but it is simple and straightforward to use.
UNIQUE ITEM. We have only one of these.

ROMANOFF RUBBER CO.
INDUSTRIAL-GRADE, HEAVY-DUTY, STEEL
HAND-OPERATED COLD PRESS / HOT PRESS
(SOLD THE LAST ONE. LOOKING FOR MORE OF THEM.) Great for the machine shop, crafts shop, general shop, factory, other business, or home. Weighs about 50 lbs. 14.25" tall when cranked all the way down. 12" long handle (which can be extended for greater pressing power using a pipe extension. Plate area is 5" x 8" and raises up to 4" for thick objects, and cranks all the way down until the top and bottom plates seat together for paper-thin objects. Plates heat up to very hot (so be careful!), so thermal press can be used as hot press or cold press - whatever your jobs call for. Worm screw is 1" thick steel. While We have had it cranked down to about 1,000 lbs of pressure, best we could tell, it was not even close to its limit (which is not stated on its boiler plate and is unknown).
Just consider some of the practically unlimited clamp, vise and press functions that a press like this can do for you with the appropriate dies and forms (no dies or forms come with it): (1) Flattening metal, bending metal, forming metal shaping metal, and swaging metal. (2) Pressing on cold or hot patches, silkscreens, logos, signatures, boiler plates, etc. (3) Burning images or melt images under pressure into wood and plastic. (4) Using "cookie cutter" type dies to cut out or punch either cold or hot shapes in wood, plastics and light metals. (5) Printing press. (6) Crushing or pulverizing rocks, bones, and other crushable objects and materials for mechanical, thermal, geological, archaeological, paleontological, forensic, chemical, biological, biomedical, etc. applications. (7) Press fitting gears, pins and rivets. (8) As a punch press. (9) Embossing images and lettering into just about anything that can fit into it that is wood, plastic and thin/soft metals. (10) Hot or cold pressing and laminating flowers and leaves and other collectibles. (11) Ironing clothes and other fabrics, such as collars and sleeves. (12) For many other hot or cold glue or cement jobs. (13) Hot-separating things stuck together. (14) Compacting items. (15) Sterilization purposes. (16) Holding items secure for just about any reason (e.g. lumber, rods, pipe, tools, etc. for drilling, sawing, grinding, threading, etc.). (17) Non-press applications where one just needs a hot surface or to heat something in a temporary oven (e.g. by opening up the plates, inserting what needs to be warmed or cooked, wrapping the exposed area with aluminum foil so heat won't escape, turning on the heat.)
You simply cannot go another day without having this highly versatile, useful and heavy duty tool in your shop, factory, business or laboratory!
Note that the white material between the steel plates is some kind of high-temperature insulating material so that the plate heaters concentrate virtually all of their heat into what is being pressed.

O.M. FRANKLIN IDENTITY MARKING TOOL /
RARE, VINTAGE IDENTITY STAMPING TOOL
Used and works great. This rare and unique stamping tool was originally made for stamping livestock in the mouth as a form of branding them. However, it has many other practical uses where one needs to uniquely identify something in a way that is both permanent (cannot be erased or covered up and won't wear out) and very difficult to counterfeit. You dial in the 4-digit serial number by rotating the wheels at the top of the tool head. Each digit consists of a number of 1/4"-long pointed steel spikes arrayed in the form of a digit (0 - 9) which penetrates or at least indents the material being marked. See upper right of image to see what the stamping looks like. Works especially well with soft-to-medium materials such as leather, plastic, some metals and wood, and flesh between 1/32" to 1/4" thick. Also makes a great collectible. Has some surface discoloration and rust.

COX VBM200 / VBM-200 EPOXY CARTRIDGE CAULK GUN
VERSATILE DOUBLE-BARRELED COX EPOXY GLUE GUN
Used and in very good condition. Cox VBM-200 / VBM200 Epoxy Cartridge Caulk Gun, Epoxy Glue Gun, Double-Barreled, Cox glue gun. Heavy-duty, industrial-grade. Built like a very high quality single-tubed caulking gun, but double-barreled for twin-tube expoxy cartridges and with much high mechanical advantage. This caulking gun also fits standard-size caulking tubes. This means, that even if you don't use it for epoxy, you can use it for other caulking uses with the other many readily available types of caulking. This means that you can use this Cox VBM200 / VBM-200 as a double-barreled caulking system (double-barreled glue gun) where you can simultaneously lay down two beads of caulk and at the same time to double your caulking speed for larger surfaces (e.g. boards, plywood, wallboards), as well as to produce a uniform distance between the two caulking beads for maximum caulking efficiency. Or you use one barrel for a filled tube of caulk and the other barrel with an empty tube, and use the empty tube tip as a pointer to a guide or guideline reference so you lay down a caulking bead of uniform distance from your reference. And if you really want to get fancy, you can use this Cox VBM200 / VBM-200 with two different types of caulks at the same time.

CARBON COMPOSITE CONE FORM /
UNUSUAL CONE SHAPE
(SCIENTIFIC, LABORATORY, SHOP, CRAFTS, MODEL-MAKING)
Like new. Heavy, very hard, and apparently a 100% carbon composite cone form, apparently precision-machined and not cast. We can barely scratch it with a sharp X-Acto knife. Actual weight is 1.5 lbs and feels very solid. Base is 6.5" diameter, and it is about 3" tall. Undersided (not shown) is hollow in the cone area, about 2" deep to tip of cone, making the cone surface itself probably about 1" thick. Base "ring" is solid 1.25" wide all around and 1" tall. Material is an electrical insulator material and not magnetic. This is definitely some kind of industrial, scientific or laboratory type cone form. Can be used as a form for shaping, as some kind of mount or mold form, for scientific experiments and science fairs, to launch experimental rockets from, for various crafts, general shop uses, display uses, as part of a mold for casting, and as a cover of some type - many possible different uses. We collect weird scientific and electronic devices, and this is the first one of these we 've ever run into. Do you know what it is? This is apparently one of those kinds of things that when you need one, they are almost impossible to find and nothing else will do.

RARE ANTIQUE SIMONDS SLOTTED TOOL,
"NO. 6 PATENTED"
Used and works great. This rare Simonds slotted tool seems like it may have a practical use for rolling ribbon or similar material up. Someone told us it was a common tool used in conjunction with weaving looms back in the 1920s. Three other persons told us that it is a handle for a Simonds crosscut saw - a two-man crosscut saw used for felling large trees in the lumber industry - a Simond saw handle is most probably its actual original use. However, it can also be used for holding a scraping, cutting or chopping head (e.g. axe head). Or for holding or positioning a wedge. Or for aligning big nails or stakes. Or for opening or closing containers that have a rectangular head that fits into the slot. Also makes a great tool collectible. We bought it at an estate sale where the family told us it was `about 100 years old.' We are collecting rare, weird and old tools for decades now. We have never run into another tool like this one. Slot is 3-1/2" long and 3/16" wide with an adjustable washer. It has seen a lot of use, and its surface finish is rough. A nice collectible or integrated into a crafts project.

(3) PLASTIC HANDLE MOLDING /
FORMING IRONS (Similar to Curling Irons)
Used in very good working condition. Three different sizes - 5/8", 1", 1-1/8" diameters. These look like hair curling irons and are probably even usable as hair curling irons. However, they are high-quality, sturdily-built industrial equipment used to shape, mold, form or curl plastics, soft metals in sheet, cardstock, ribbons, etc. either cold or hot (depending on material shaped and end application). They are not connected to electricity. You heat them up in a fire or preferably, using a curling iron heater. Can also be used to apply labels, logos and brands. Can also be used as holders, especially for extending tubing and pipe into fires, chemical baths, securing round glue jobs, etc. And for expanding out rubber and plastic tubes or preventing them from collapsing.

COPPER CLAD CUTTING RODS /
COPPER CLAD WELDING RODS /
CARBON WELDING RODS (CARBON ARC HD, 350-600 Amps)
COPPER-GRAPHITE ELECTRODES /
COPPER GROUNDING RODS
New old stock, NOS. Round copper-clad cutting rods / copper clad welding rods are new, 12 inches long, 3/8" diameter. Copper cladding greatly improves current conductivity, thereby making these copperclad graphite carbon rods far superior to the non-copperclad graphite rods for hotter and better arc cutting and arc gouging, their traditional applications for arc welders (also called, "copperclad cutting rods" / "copperclad welding rods"). These copperclad rods also make great graphite-copper electrodes for electroplating and similar uses. And copperclad carbon rods can serve as temporary grounding rods, as power busses for high currents, for other high voltage arcing applications, and for numerous useful and fascinating engineering applications, scientific applications, science projects, and magic shows (e.g. high-voltage arc discharging). They can also be used for crafts projects, jewelry projects (e.g. interesting tube beads, and to make stand-offs and roller wheels). These carbon copper-clad rods are top quality - not the cheapo carbon cutting rods seen advertised elsewhere. We also sell these in 25 and 50 quantities - see my webpages.

(PAIR) RARE, VINTAGE RAILROADIANA /
RAILROAD MEMORABILIA, BLACK METAL WALL HANGINGS
Rare and in excellent condition. These are great railroad collectibles, vintage metal railroad wall hangings, and useful and versatile support structures. Saw railroad memorabilia like these on a train decades ago as a child (Dad was Santa Fe Conductor and we used to regulary ride the Santa Fe Super Chief, Chief and El Capitan out of Barstow). However, we can't recall what exactly they were made for. They appear to be wall hangings. They also have a re-enforced 5/8" center hole, so possibly they could have been used as strong, sturdy stands, scaffolding or supports to suspend a rod, pipe or tube (or paper roll / fabric roll / carpet roll / plastic sheeting roll between them, e.g. butcher paper holder, packaging paper), which in turn could have suspended a pot or some other load. Such a rod could also suspend various tools, lamps and/or magnifiers (e.g. a paper cutter blade) for kitchen or shop applications. The facing small holes could have been used for rods, threaded at the ends for nuts, to complete the assembly to increase strength and stability, if needed. Should you want to use them for some type of holder, you can custom specify the distance the "stands" are apart to fit your applications (within the mechanical limits of the Item). These railroad collectibles are made of iron or steel, very strong and sturdy, painted black. 13" x 7-3/8" x 3/16" thick.
UNIQUE ITEM - We have only one of this Item.

(2) DOUBLE "V" CLAMPING SYSTEM
w/ HOLDING TROUGH, 12"
Used and in great condition. We don't know what these "V" clamps were originally designed to do. Each clamp system consists of a trough-like structure that is 11-1/2" long and 1-5/8" wide at the top which tapers down on all sides to about 9" long and 1/2" wide at the bottom, and about 1-1/8" deep. Each has two sliding clamps with it. At the bottom is a clamp that slides along a slot at the very bottom, and that tightens using two knobs, and that looks like it clamps to a flat rail or bar of some type. The top clamp slides along and above the top lip of the trough, and is used to clamp down whatever you are working on or want to secure in the trough. These things look like they are used to hold down or secure something in the trough perhaps for soaking, washing, cleaning, grinding, polishing, machining, painting, carving, soldering, etc. They look like they were originally designed for some type of photographic, jewelry-making or laboratory purpose, but can be further adapted for many general shop, craft, hobby, model-making, etc. uses. We do not know the make or model or age. This is a kind of tool which has many uses, is very versatile, but when you need it virtually nothing will substitute for it. If you know what these things do, please let us know.
UNIQUE ITEM. We have only this one pair.
