Tubalcain gives us a cool fact about machine tools, and says:'...not that anybody would care..." A few tens of thousands of people think to themselves:"Except for me, that is."

[@hawkie333]

Jealousy, nostalgia, desire, and greed....all the makings of a fantastic auction. Wish I was there....what a haul!

[@joeblan9426]

I think anyone that watched this video wished they could of been there with you Mr. Pete! I did catch the excitement in your voice and could tell that you had a good time.I think that most of us that are machinists or hobbists would have enjoyed going.Thanks for sharing your loot! This was a great video for me!

[@mrpete222]

It was a great day--Thanks for watching

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@RichardEHunt]

As a youngster (I will be 59 this summer) I learned as a youth on many of these era tools. Thanks for the memories

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@SwitchAndLever]

As a collector of CE Johansson tools that height gauge is amazing! I don't generally feel envious, but I am a bit saddened that such tool auctions simply doesn't exist in my neck of the woods. Thanks a lot Lyle, I truly appreciate these videos, not just because I'm a hoarder in denial!

[@mrpete222]

It was $30--I found the auction ticket plus 10%

[@barrybeggs8543]

Mr. pete ,you are a man after my own heart. I love old auctions...

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@Abom79]

Mr Pete, what a great looking auction! I noticed lots of go/no-go gages, I could use lots of those. The Premo Taft-Pierce tools are outstanding! That rectangular block is what I have always known to been called tunnel blocks. I have a pair of the same size, very used of course. That cylindrical square was amazing! only $1?? On the Johansen gage block set, the radius attachments may be for using a mic to measure the stack up. Really enjoyed this one!

[@mrpete222]

HI DAM---Let me know which gauges you want (free). I will bring them to Ohio

[@mrpete222]

sorry--meant ADAM

[@Abom79]

I noticed them in the auction video as you were waking around previewing everything. Looked like a bunch of internal thread go/no-go gages. I've been wanting some of those for the hydraulic work I do, mostly 12 pitch threads. I assume the auction we well over and everything is gone by now.

[@mrpete222]

Yes--they are long gone. Mostly internet buyers

Thanks for watching

[@RelentlessHomesteading]

What a haul - not so much mechanical like that out here on the left coast. Very fascinating items. What I like most is figuring out what we can use them for -- I LOVE to repurpose and use everything I can, or someone else can.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@bobauer4359]

Mr. Pete: Very good video. Besides seeing all the so called junk I appreciate the little tidbits of information you provide. I always thought that Scheer Tumico was a foreign company, so thanks for clearing that up. You never cease to come up with some informative material.

[@OldSweetTed]

Mr. Pete, I understand your enthusiasm. I am not a machinist, but I appreciate how folks can machine things, especially tools. I bought a great used 1 inch Starrett micrometer because it was the same exact type my brother had when he was a machinist 60 years ago. I haven't used it, and I probably never will, but I OWN IT and I can fondle it! :o) Keep up the good work!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@lightbox33]

The scary part is that Pete is able to repair everything not in working order or find a way to use it for something. Incredible knowledge. I bet if he would set up a shop to teach he would have a waiting list of students. I would be there. Great stuff!

[@mrpete222]

🤙🤙🤙

[@ashleyward427]

Amazing to see the 70+yo cylindrical square still in the wrapper!

[@mrpete222]

I know--Thanks for watching

[@EVILDR235]

I just love finding hoards of stuff like you have here. It is like opening presents as X-mas. Wherever there is a garage sale, I'll be there. Wherever there is a estate sale, I'll be there. Wherever there is a flea market, I'll be there. T.J.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I love the auction reveal videos. I can't get to the auctions but watching you show the hoard is awesome. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@charlescartwright6367]

Junk ? ... Treasure ?? Seldom do I criticize you, but I could have spent the whole time at one table, living in Hawaii all I can do is drool on my keyboard. I used to complain about lack of space in my shop, but as I grew [older and wiser] I realized if I had this whole acre under roof I would be out of space in the first year. I have become more experienced in stacking 20 pounds of stuff in a 10 pound bag. Thank you for sharing this with us ... now to clean my keyboard and dry it!!!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@larryohara6513]

Nice stuff...thanks for the history lesson!

Thanks for watching

[@KyHighlander59]

I bet you were a heck of a shop teacher. I could sit and listen to you talk all evening without falling asleep. Few of my teachers can I say that of.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for the high complement

[@susanbarbier5053]

[@mrpete222]

Glad you found me-keep watching

[@johanu6481]

Nice to see the CE Johansson lable! The saying is that Henry Ford bought one of the first sets of gauge blocks from Johansson, which actually made the assembly line production process possible back then. The early gauge blocks sets were made using a feet powered sewing machine with an attached grinding disc, operated by Johanssons wife...! //Johan U - Sweden

[@mrpete222]

I read about that once--Thanks for watching

[@kevinwillis9126]

looking forward to part 2.. as they say one man's junk is another man's treasure.. Thanks for sharing sir....

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@MrTonyhpeace]

I WISH I COULD FIND AN AUCTION LIKE THAT. I ENJOY WATCHING ALL YOUR VIDEOS. THEY GIVE ME SO MANY IDEAS FOR WHEN EVER I GET THE CHANGE TO GET BACK TO THE STATES ONE DAY.

[@DougHanchard]

Anthony Peace You can. As Mr. Pete stated, it was mainly online bidding. The drawback, impossible to verify condition of tools and based on the size of this auction, almost impossible to track each lot unless you have HOURS of free time to go through the website list. Google search machine shop auctions and we will see you back here, 5 years later, before you resurface. :)

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@enyoc3d]

best videos on youtube. thanks for all you do.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@grntitan1]

Wow!!! Nice score mrpete. Honestly, a few of the items you showed already combined together far exceed what you spent. This would include gas and meals. Those angle plates and the cylindrical square are really nice items, and new. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@sickboymech92]

My god, one man trash is another's treasure. I wish we had something like that in my area. We have maybe a half dozen machinists, most hobbyists, that I know of and '0" tool supply for machine paraphernalia. You are one luck man Mr. Pete I am green with envy.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

Nice Haul! I subscribe to the three R's philosophy of junk: Reuse, Re-purpose, Recycle - in that order. I rarely if ever throw anything in the trash.

Good practice-Thanks for watching

THANK YOU...for sharing.

[@mrpete222]

[@Albertwildhorseshoer]

Some kid who invents, creates art, or replicas would love the throw away stuff.

[@vintagesawyer6246]

Nice haul , I was a trainee machinest as my first "real job" in the early 80"s , so I find this stuff interesting. 👍

When you can't find your 3" mic....buy another one. Love it. RIP Westclox. So many big old names have left our state. It won't be long before you see tools sales pop up around Aurora, IL.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching. True-I have know many men that worked there including my bro inlaw

[@HellSpawn722001]

I'm sure jealous of you sir, we don't have awesome auctions like that in my area. I love looking through old tools and I'm a bit of a tool hoarder myself. Love the video!!!!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@mikemarriam]

Its bitter sweet to get such opportunities to acquire otherwise unattainable tools but to think of how many of these shops go out of business every year.

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching

[@randomdude1786]

[@mrpete222]

Yea--nice stuff-Thanks for watching!

[@oakenarbor2046]

At 11:51 you introduce us all to TUMICO. As a consequence of that small bit of advise I went back and gave another look at a precision level I had passed over thinking it was just no name junk. Wow, now it is home with me it is a near twin the Starrett 199. It is a model 1415 in excellent shape. Thanks for helping keep old tool knowledge alive! I have pictures if your interested.

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

You know all too well we are going to watch it!

[@mrpete222]

Thanks for watching--yes

[@katyfox2749]

I am glad that I don't live anywhere that I could go to one of these auctions, I would surely be broke inside of a year. Thanks.

[@p61guy]

Not just for hoarders, I enjoyed the descriptions. Would not have known what a lot of that was. Until now.
