October Antique Fair

Thought it best to show a few things acquired recently.
Sue has been chasing the sweet cup with the blue Corn Flower on it for years the one she got off her mum was smashed years before. The measure cup is going somewhere special it's not for Sue she picked another up some time ago this one is in pristine condition


































My little stash.

Two wooden handles screw drivers to go into dad's old tool box to replace the missing ones so it is complete, just a few more things to get.



Marpels turning chisels









Moore & Write miniature calipers.










Whats in the box?? Well it wasn't a Mitutoyo thats for sure but at $5 what was in the box is below that photo. From those in the know they are CNC tools with carbide or tungsten tips which I will adapt to my needs 3 carbide blocks also.







Below a hone stone made by Australian Abrasives for 5 years as a coach driver at Silverline Coaches I use to deal with the social club from Auburn so a sentimental buy as much as it can be used.








Just like me this book " Made In England" covers many a Lost Trade or rather rare trades which world wide seems to have someone who still does it. 



One of Sue's friends had lopped branches off their Olive tree, lucky me eh.
