    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these flee market videos. Where I come from we don't have this kind of flea Markets. All of our flea markets here only sell clothes and women's jewelry. I live in CYPRUS(Europe). I also LOVE the clear explaining of the items you show in the Market. Keep it up. I've been a long time fan of your channel, and it keeps getting better and better. Keep it up!!! Dinos

    Hello John. I`ve been watching your videos for a month or so and I love your positivity. A real shot in the arm. I have a telly in the bedroom and I usually watch you for a half an hour before nodding off and I don`t mean that you make me sleepy. I love the flea market trips especially and the prices over there are incredible. I`m in Ireland and you simply cannot buy good quality tools secondhand at reasonable prices.You just don`t see the volume of good tools over here.You have no idea how lucky you are. Keep posting those great videos. I love your sense of humour. Thomas Hughes Ireland.

    Those definitely some fantastic finds! A very cool clock you picked up, and yeah, those old electric clocks are practically impossible to kill, I really love the old GE Telechrons, One being what was known as a general electric “video clock” (it was advertised that you could use it to turn your television set on and off at a set time), and the other one being one of those ubiquitous beige rectangular alarm clocks. Also, you mentioned Westclox, I also collect their clocks, I have grew in a pretty decent collection of the Big and Baby Bens. I really like collecting and repairing their dollar pocket watches. If you haven’t made a video on it already, I would really love to see your Westclox collection! And yes, I have seen your style one Big Ben video, definitely a gorgeous clock!

    Forgive me for contradicting you, but the box of rigid pipe threading accessories come off of one of their tri-fold stands. All the accessories came in a separate box and were often separated. The splines are much larger for the ratchet that came with the t-table then the handheld threader

    The FDR clock may be made of a "statuary bronze"...which I believe was like a cast pot-metal with a copper plating. Lots of souveniers were made of it when I was a kid (the 50's). Be careful if you polish it, the plating is pretty thin.

    I have a few FDR clocks. I cleaned them lightly with a damp cloth. Dried them and applied a light coating of beeswax with orange oil, can’t remember the brand. That brought back the original color. Mine were also “zinky” looking. Try it on an area in the back first. Beautiful find, good luck.

    That's crazy that they had McDonald's arches. Years ago a nearby McDonald's was converted to a Taco Bell. I got talking with the workers hanging the new signs and awnings, I was hoping to score the aluminum framework, and they told me that McDonald's corporate is fanatical about protecting their brand. They have to submit pictures proving that the logo was destroyed beyond recognition. I guess there was one naughty franchisee?

    The FDR 'New Deal' clock statue is made of spelter and flash electroplated, any attempt to use abrasive polishing will ruin the finish. I would recommend a good washing and a light polish with a nonabrasive polish.

    We had an Old Yale Hoist in our Steel Shop..........I recognized that Craftsman Hammer instantly, I had one like that and a young guy who was working with us accidentally kicked it, it went over the edge of a Chemical Pit where my boss was on a ladder and hit him in the head then fell 15 feet into the bottom of Chemical Sludge never to be seen again........The guys were a little careless on that job and about a hundred dollars worth of my tools were lost in that pit over a couple days on that job.

The other thing was a railway lamp which has a little knob on the top which puts various coloured filters in front of the lamp. It is of the same era that my father spent working on the railway as a train register boy.
    I’m going to enjoy working on those two things to bring them back.

    @WAL_DC-6B 3 года назад

    I have a zinc, apparently brass or copper plated, FDR electric clock. On the face of the clock above the hands is the word, "Windsor." Below is the word "Electric." FDR's leaning against the ship's wheel on the right side (as you look at the front). The base is embossed, "At the Wheel for a New Deal." Above that is the name "Roosevelt" on the ship wheel's "base." It lacks the Presidential Seal as seen on the front of your FDR clock. The backside is embossed, "Gibraltar Electric Clock Co. Inc. Jersey City NJ #115." Guess this proves there were at least two versions of the FDR electric clock.

    It was a bit better a few months back, most did actually take social distancing seriously, not now ?
    Restrictions are being relaxed and most assume we are 'back to normal'.
    I could count on my fingers the number of people wearing masks at the last one I went to !!

    I did not think it was possible to plate bronze over steel or iron. My understanding is that a steel model needs to first be brass or copper plated, the same being true for gold or platinum. I could be off, I'm no metallurgist, but for example, magnetic transfer blocks which are alternating brass and steel have to be mechanically fastened, it is not possible to bond them

      Those Yales were built like tanks! I should have asked the price, very nice hoist indeed!
