Today I acquired...........

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

After having a 4am start, I stopped by a old friend on the way home.
He is having a clear out of odds n sods. He wanted to ley me have it for free, but I left him £20 for the beer he will buy me next time I will be passing.

This is what I got.



Russian Ivory Opera Glass's, a turned pen, one of his own. 2 Knitted bee's.
Plus.



A pair of Odd spoon bits.

Then a heavy plastic bag.



It was very heavy, the back of the van dropped.

8" vice.

38kg approx.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Presumably you picked the plastic bag up and the vice stayed where it was?

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Quit your wining, you love it.

Of course, you are a wee bit jealous?

 

[Arc Tourist]

Of course, you are a wee bit jealous?

Nope, Just happy for you.

Today I had to move out unplanned to a tool rescue.

I have not screened everything yet, but most of it should be uninteresting ... This adjustable wrench, however, looks like none I've ever seen before:

By the way, in our country adjustable wrenches are short called "Engländer" = "Englishman"

- an Englishman once told me that in your country they are also called "Frenchman"...???

I wonder where that might come from ....?

Anyone have any idea for what profession or purpose the thing with this particular shape was once intended?

It's not even blocked, just a little harder to adjust.
