[@davidurfer7632]

My guess is the 1st tool is for leather work. I believe it makes a starter hole and provides consistent spacing for items to be stitched together.

[@357magdad]

Good guess David, but it is for sewing.

[@onionhead5780]

I would have bet money on your leather tool guess but I reckon we are both wrong. 🤷‍♂️

[@aussietiprat3193]

@@onionhead5780 Leather Pricking Wheel for marking out holes 3 mm apart - for hand stitching. Has sharp spikes for marking the leather.

[@adamgrove9198]

The leather stitch markers are usually farther spaced like 6-8 stitches/inch

[@kevinsnyder4425]

Loved the video.! The pounce wheel is also used by sign painters for tracing patterns on sign layouts. Patterns are layed on the wood or metal, and powder or charcoal is rubbed across the holes leaving the design behind to be painted. I worked for several sign painters back in the day.!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Kevin! 805RoadKing also mentioned they were used by sign painters.

[@karltite128]

Correct Kevin. There is also the electric perferator for signage work. 🇺🇸🍺

[@marshville01]

Liked those pocket knives & adjustable wrenches.

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I'm glad you like what I brought home!

[@johnkelley9877]

Great looking haul Magdad! My mom had a pattern tracer too so it looked familiar. I like the brass oil can the best. I use to see that version at work. Thanks for sharing this.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John!

[@805ROADKING]

I knew the Queen would know right away what that Tracing Wheel was!! Sign Painters also used them to transfer designs!!☻

[@357magdad]

Thanks RoadKing!

[@briansworkshop01]

Great video and the best buy the Stanley 299 👍 Thanks for sharing your time 🍺🍺👍👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Brian! I got a toolbox haul video coming up this weekend!

[@drewskenheimer]

Great finds! That Property of US Government mechanical pencil brings back memories. My father worked for the U.S. Army as a civilian and always had those pencils...

[@357magdad]

Thanks Drew! I like those classic Scripto mechanical pencils!

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Neat stuff! Can't wait to see the small screwdriver done. Thanks for sharing

[@357magdad]

Thanks! I've got a plan for that little guy....

[@Rudimentary007]

Now that’s what I call shopping for treasures.👍🇺🇸

[@357magdad]

I'm lucky to have a good flea market close by that I can visit often.

[@toolscouter]

You got some really great stuff. Love that little tack puller. I will have to keep my eyes open for one of those. Thanks so much for sharing. Have a good one.

[@357magdad]

It's fun hunting for treasures at the flea market!

[@philparker1666]

Some great finds there Magdad, think my favourite was the new screw holding screwdriver......look what you've started! Your collection is looking great 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️

[@357magdad]

Thanks Phil! My collection is outgrowing my display wall!

[@shannonelliott6116]

Mrpete222 has a great video on the oiler dissassembly and repair...helps with figuring out orientation of the innards...also, that imperial knife, the scales have off-gassed, as is evident by the rust line on the blade, impossible to stop, and it will ruin any knife near it if left very long. Great finds!!

Hi Magdad , Some Good Projects There. Knives Are Hard To Come By Cheap I Agree. My Favorite Maybe the Oil Can . I Bet You Can Get It Working. Probably Just Needs Cleaning It's Probably Clogged up .

[@357magdad]

I hope so Wayne!

[@seanmertens3049]

Nice Finds the first tool for leatherwork

[@357magdad]

Close...

[@Resto-Rob]

That is a great collection. The Millers Falls screw holding screwdrivers is cool. The Bald Eagle is the best. 👍

[@357magdad]

Thanks Robert!🦅

[@alexstools]

The first thing I thought with the mystery tool: Mrs Magdad knows what that is! I think you had some great finds there. The tack puller must be my favorite. Also the real perfect handle is a gem.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Alex! I was happy to find a clear HD Smith marking on the big PH screwdriver!

[@liljoeii6091]

I remember my mom used to one of those for the patterns that she was making I think all your tools were a great Vine thank you for the video

[@357magdad]

I found another one of those pattern tracers this weekend!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

I knew what the first idem was when i saw it. It is called how can you destroy your parent's furniture in one easy step LOL, My God that brought back memories seeing my mother using the patten wheel. Tracing paper pattens making clothing. Great finds at the Flea Market my favorites where the miller's falls screwdriver's ... Take care. enjoy your Sunday. Looking forward to next Sunday's video

[@357magdad]

Thanks Roger! I'm glad the pattern wheel brought back good memories for you!

[@jackthompson2132]

Nice find’s Magdad! You have so many great items it’s hard to pick just one 😩 However I’m going to say the oiler. Thank You for sharing!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Jack! I hope I can get the oiler un-stuck!

[@larryligget628]

I enjoyed the bullet pencils. I have a few, myself.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry! Check out my bullet pencil video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqrXoKCPdqmZhac

[@tonylenge424]

Good video! My favorite is the eagle! Always knew Chuck was a noble bird! Thanks

[@357magdad]

Thanks Tony! Chuck thinks he's royalty!

[@TomHollis-y6o]

I like the two pipe wrenches, especially the offset one. Can't wait to see the Magdad treatment on them, though you're going to need a lot of Magdad muscle to straighten the small one. My wife knew that the wheeled pokey thing was for patterns because her mom had one. I'm surprised that you didn't have any millers falls screwdrivers. I've found several around Pittsburgh here.. I also have two of those Barcolo tack pullers. they come in handy! just used one yesterday. 🙂

[@357magdad]

Next week's video will feature some "Magdad Muscle"!💪

[@garydillon3960]

I like the brass oil can.

[@357magdad]

Me too!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

Interesting finds. I have a pattern tracer. I did not know the name before. Good to learn something. I also picked mine up a flea market. I was thinking it may work as a texturing tool for wood turning. Not good for such use. I love the oil can. I do not need more oil cans, but sometimes cannot resist. I would have picked up this one. Dave.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Dave! I hope I can get that oiler un-stuck!

[@choppermike3329]

My favorite is probably the skull and Eagle. Those govt. pens and pencils are all over where I live, in the suburb of DC. Those Avon bottles are cool collectibles. Being a Vol. firefighter I have a few, fire hydrant. ladder truck, alarm box, etc. They were all empty when I got them but they still have the aroma. Those old folding knives are cool. heck, all that stuff are keepers. Nice video.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike! I'm glad you liked the gems I brought home!

[@preciousmetalautomotivelif3060]

I reckon the spinning pokey wheel tool is for pattern making for dressmakers. I reckon my mum had one

[@357magdad]

Yep!👍

[@HickSquatch]

I have a few different variations of pattern wheels. Some mark stitching very well (I do a lot of smaller leather work, with tighter stitching). The bent pipe wrench haad to have seen a big ole cheater pipe over the handle to bend it like that!! I love Perfect Handle drivers. I want to build a modern one that takes standard 1/4 inch bits.

[@357magdad]

My friend Dave made a perfect handle bit driver for my charity auction. It came out great!

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Got some cool bullet pencils

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry! I wish I could get new ones made with "357magdad"!

[@paulaleeper5389]

the first with the poky thing look like a dressing tool for grinding wheels.

[@357magdad]

Good guess, but no.

[@timeflysintheshop]

Great finds! The eagle is cool and I totally see the resemblance! The brass oil can looks a little too nice to be very old. Since it has no marks, do you think it could be a reproduction from the 80's or something???

[@357magdad]

I'm always suspicious when an item has no markings.

[@Kirt-Davis]

The no. 66 oiler is my favorite, genuine or not.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Kirk!

[@ihrescue]

I like the brass oil can. Looking forward to seeing you bang those dents out.

[@357magdad]

Me too!

[@quasarguitar-hi7hs]

Good point. If you don’t like auto wrenches you are a sick individual. Nice haul!

[@beerdrinker6452]

I think the first tool that the Missus recognized is for zipper work. Nice video. What kind of maniac does not like a flea market. Where else can you get fleas?

[@beerdrinker6452]

Rats....Rong Again. Great video.

[@357magdad]

You were close!

[@ardenbolton5992]

I collect the ridged pipe wrenches, I have been looking for those 2 for a few years!! How much did you pay for them?

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! I think I paid a dollar or two each.

[@chrisT5259]

Missed off the ?. Apologies. Was asking if A leather working tool!

[@357magdad]

Make sure you watch the end of the video for the answer!

[@thenoneckpeoplerepresentat8074]

Tools that stand the test of heavy use over time, certainly not our standard today.

[@357magdad]

[@357magdad]

I try to have some fun with the haul videos..

[@alpine1600s]

I'd say the bullet pencils are my fav. Especially the Capitol pencil. The PC/Woke cult of today would definitely frown upon a bullet pencil. 🧐🫡🇺🇸❤️ The oil can is also awesome, it may not be too old. Goldenrod oil cans made in Hastings Nebraska have no markings, just a sticker. Which the cutting oil I put in mine has take it right off!🤣

@@357magdad I refinished an antique table for a family a few years ago and it had tracks from one of those tools all over one particular area where the mother and daughters had been using it as a sewing table.

[@BarlowBrigade]

MD357...it's a 'pounce wheel" it allows you to re-use paper patterns you trace the pattern then...pounce on it with a sock full of colored powder...can be used in several types of applications...You are the Man!!! Ms Mag Dad is pretty Smart also!!! Watched my mom use one for years...she made all my school clothes...👍👍👍😎😁 0:58

I'm itchin' to see how nice I can get the dark red handles!

[@ralphiewigs2208]

I've been obsessed with pocket knives lately, but those little pipe wrenches are pretty cool.

[@357magdad]

Old pocket knives are cool! You could almost EDC that 6" pipe wrench!

[@JohnSmith-yl6dn]

On a set of spurs the old cowboys wore, the pointy wheel is called a “rowel”. I would assume the same word could apply to the pattern tracer.

[@357magdad]

I've seen it referred to as a pattern tracer, dart wheel and pounce wheel.

[@garyryman4947]

Aaah, those Avon aftershave containers brought back memories. 😊

[@357magdad]

Somehow I am starting to build up a collection of them...

[@lmnop463]

the first tool is for leather, not fabric or paper patterns. The teeth are far too aggressive - a seamstress/ leather worker just confirmed this!

[@357magdad]

Nope, it's a ponce or pattern wheel for transferring sewing patterns. They also make "dull" ones for use with transfer paper.

[@mikecurtis2585]

Those are some great finds! Pocket knives are always my favorite!!

Man lots of cool stuff there, where to start. I'll tell you I did pass up an auto wrench this week end. I have so many figured Id leave it for the next guy, lol. That brass oiler, Eagle or not its a beautiful oiler. Luckily its all brass, should shine up nicely.

[@357magdad]

[@TheThriftyWoodworker]

I grew up in DC. Every pencil or pen I borrowed in school said “Property of US Government “

I've got two of them now. I like the thicker lead in them.

The resemblance may be in the eyes. I like the oil can and the perfect handle screwdriver. The bullet pencils are nice tool I remember seeing them over the years but not here lately. Good finds.

That's a cool collection. I like the oiler. I have a number of Barcalo tools but have never seen a tack puller. The genuine Perfect screwdriver is also nice. My guess on the pattern tracer was wrong. I thought it might be for leather working.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Pat! There have been a lot of leather working guesses.

[@Anothermachine]

I sure Mrs Magdad Rolled her Eyes in Approval and Appreciation at your Artistic sense regarding the Awesome Eagle

[@357magdad]

Exactly!🙄

[@666toysoldier]

The proper name for your miniature spur is a pounce wheel. And i believe those old wooden-handled screwdrivers were called turnscrews.

[@357magdad]

Pounce wheel, pattern wheel or dart wheel. Turnscrews usually refer to screwdrivers with blades made of flat steel rather than round.

[@gayle525]

The mystery thingy is a tracing paper wheel for tracing patterns on material for sewing. If not that then it’s a marking tool for leather work. All the ones I have seen don’t have such sharp and long pointy thing on the so I think it may be a marking tool for leather for that reason. To maybe mark where to put the awl through to hand stitch.

[@357magdad]

Your first guess was right Gayle!

[@patrickkelly7838]

The two number stamp on the 50 cal. is the year of manufacture. the other stamp is a code for the maker.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for the info Patrick! It's got a 41, so 1941?

[@shedmanx3640]

Some fantastic finds there mate. I can see Chuck’s bald eagle heritage in the feet. He definitely has the eagle feet.😂

Ooohh, so many great finds! Can't pick a single favorite, but would love to see restoration on these: 16" PH screwdriver (what a beauty!); seized Ridgid offset pipe wrench; Stanley 1299 utility knife; and the copper and brass bullet pencil. I carry a folding utility knife in my back pocket every day. It's my workhorse tool and I feel nekkid without it. So i have a soft spot in my heart for all the utility knives you rescue from the $1.00 tables. And yes, I immediately knew what the mystery tool was. Lol!
