Auction stuff....

I was going thru the catalog for Lott elevator and saw a rolling toolbox. Looked old. Lot of "character". Useful. I bid on it and got it...sight unseen. Picked it up today. It is in decent shape but will need some paint and a little TLC. The contents are pictured. Two coffee cans containing a lot of chaff and nothing of value, 7 wrenches, 2 socket wrenches and misc sockets, assorted allen wrenches, hack saw, hammer, screwdriver, Skil angle grinder, 1 quart bucket with hook for measuring (probably for the moisture tester but???), big roll of shiny tape, box of feed bag tags. Also, not pictured, about two dozen empty 12 pack beer cartons, 2-3 pounds of rodent droppings, something that looks like a small hanging scale or part of same, odds and ends.

I've been home two hours and I can still smell rodent droppings/urine, ancient desiccated dead rodents, old grain, and pigeon poo. Getting that loaded was a dirty job.

If the price was right that's what's counts. Some times those old tool boxes are better than the new ones. I was at an auction the bidding was on a large Lincoln welder. I hadn't looked at it. Bid was 30.00 I bid 35.00 and got it. At that instant I wish I hadn't bid on it, because on one else was bidding. Looking at it, it was a big welder with probably 60 ft of heavy copper cable. I use it all the time. Stan
 
I don't know. I am thinking it was plastic but not cheap plastic. Had some weight to it. I guess I will have to wait and find out. Realized after the fact I was in such a hurry to get back to work that I didn't even plug in the grinder.
 
Those were the good old days! Before shills and seller bidding became the norm instead of an ethical violation.
