Hi Mr.Pete, that big floor model arbor press at 9:45 is just like the one we had in the tool and die shop I used to run. It had a patent date of 1916. I remember because, it was the year that my Mother was born. It was totally mechanical. The long lever on the left acted on an arm that engaged notches on the big wheel to operate the pressing action. We used it mainly, to press out mangled die posts that never saw grease unless we were servicing the die in our shop. You would crank and crank on that long lever, building up pressure and all of a sudden, the die post would break free. It sounded like a gunshot! After it broke free, you could push the post the rest of the way out fairly quietly. Ours had another lever near the top in that cylindrical portion of the press that would move the ram down rapidly for much lighter jobs.

We don't have estate auctions in our area, but several times a year I find local estate sales that are "diggers", and I usually find a bunch of great items that most people don't even recognize. The best ones are when the family just wants to get rid of everything.

Thanks for sharing. I am sorting through a truck and 10’ trailer I got at an online auction this week. Bought 6 larger micrometers for $20 that I thought were going to be wall hangers. They weren’t a set and you couldn’t see brands from the pictures. 3 turned out to be Starrett and one was a no name aluminum. Left half the the metal I bought for the scrap man but got some small round stock to fit in my lathe. Sold about 100lbs of brass bars and some larger aluminum in the lot to another man there for more than I paid for it. Bought a large lot of shelving and cabinets with some hidden gems in it. Not sure how it is where you are at but the past 2 years auction prices have been crazy. Nice to see prices more reasonable. Just wish the dollar would go farther for food and retail
