I looked him up, he passed on in 1977 and was a WW1 Marine veteran. He worked at Gisholt Machine Co in Madison and no doubt contributed a lot to the WW2 manufacturing industry, it was kind of a big deal company back in the day producing machine tools.
Yeah, I just looked him up too. Guy was born January 02,1896 in Milwaukee and served as a Marine in WWI. Those tools have been around a very long time! The obit I read said he passed in 1977 and his wife had passed in 1965.
That was a good haul ! I've just found your channel - it appeared in my 'recommended' box, so now I'm a sub ! I love these sorts of videos - you never know what you will find in these old tool boxes. Thanks for sharing. Michael in England 🙂
When you derust those calipers don’t use Evaporust or vinegar on the top spring. It will ruin the temper of the spring and they will break. I notice the key is present in one of the drawers. They are usually missing, so that is lucky. I think the square top boxes, as opposed to the rounded top you’ll usually see, are late 40s.
Another great mystery box and a great video. Not up on my machinists tools but they still fascinate me and I can see they are quality, US and British tools from back in the day were so good……and so well made .🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks for showing your haul. I learned something about those Starrett adjustable rule set you acquired which included a right angle and 45 degree adjustable ruler, centre finder and angle finder. I have the exact same set which I inherited from my father in law after he passed away. I always thought two of the rulers were missing and didn't even realise they were all part of a set. Now having seen the exact same pieces come out of your tool chest I realised the ruler is intended to be shared among the 3 holders! Thanks for showing. 😀
My favorite find is the radius gauges in the craftsman pouch, if its a full complete set thats a nice find and the vintage pouch seems to be in decent shape!
All those pieces of steel in the bottom draw would be for packing his cutting tools in his lathe tool post, I've a tin at work full of the same thing. Your vids are addictive 😊
I had a Kennedy for years, along with about 6 other boxes I acquired and used over the years. coupla years back I got a 3'x4'x2'' Harbor Freight rolling mechanic cabinet, with a smaller one on top. died and went to heaven having all my hand tools organized. gave the Kennedy to my oldest son. still findin hand tools here and there and right into the Harbor Freight they go
I used chalk when I have a tapered tool that doesn't like to fit into a bore real tight. Few lines of chalk and your tool doesn't spin. Learned that 30 years old when I was learning the trade. Most old machinists have chalk in their boxes.
the tool at 18:48 is a small hole gauge ..adjust it to fit a small hole then measure the gauge with a micrometer the larger ones are called a telescoping gauge for larger inside measuring
The large combination square has a Union Tools design to the square head. The center head and angle gauge may be part of the four piece set altogether.
My 8 Drawer is beat up, and I got what I think is a good deal on a new 11 Drawer with the elusive Keys - 600 Bucks. New, they are usually 1000 Dollars or more, good quality Machinist Tools, etc are expensive. I guess a Kennedy Box is not necessary, but nice to have.
This box looks ugly on the surface but is still in pretty good shape. The original finish seems to have disintegrated so I was thinking just knock off the loose stuff and clear it.
As i made a couple of comments i am not sure which tool you are asking about but i beleivevyou are referring to either the gauge with the short (rod) with the handle or thr triangleure piece with the hole near the large end i beleive there where two in the box, i hope that was helpful.
On a large drill press the drill bit has a tappered shank that you push into the collet and then tighten the chuck when done you loosen the chuck and above the chuck is a slot that you insert the tappered key into the slota give it a tap to release the bit. As you have a lathe you know what an id gauge is.
Good buy. I would have dropped 80 bucks, without hesitation, on that box with the contents. I saw a small porcelain rod in one of the drawers. You can make something very sharp using a round piece of porcelain. It looks like the owner and I both believe in keeping anything that would make a good shim. I have a drawer full of shim stock in many flavors. The tools that he made that were tapered on one end and radiused on the other appear to be sheave gauges. Wedges are handy when you need to move a part in a setup but cannot get a jack screw under it.
I buy every KEnnedy box I find as long as the seller isn’t trying to get retail for it. That is an old box just buy looking at the leather handle and square edges. That would be worth about $75 if the door was with it.
I'm not entirely sure but the I think it's the first to moores tapers that you saw were from what I could tell they seemed to be drill chuck adapters for specialty sizes
Those are called snap meters for getting inside diameters,collapse them insert and twist the handle end to release, retwist to set them pull out and measure.
Ah - Yes KENNEDY Boxes like the Machinists along with Tool & Die makers of that area. My buddies dad and His Uncle worked in that specific realm at the same company before Retiring about 30 years later in total. Each and every morning ( MONDAY thru Friday ) they did the Tandem trek to work and back. Upon the Celebrated Retirment each became a Bit bigger of a Celebrity company wide. Seems they had a number of high level changes through the three decades and these two gents were indeed the BACK BONE of what kept it all rolling so to speak. We know how both Common and Un-Common it could be to have smaller places get swallowed up and then mergers happen with many long time workers simply being cut or demoted as well. So, The Tools are like what most would be considered Cast offs or ( ONE - Offs ) for a particular task of ODD ball request ( OTHERS ) might be making. A good example would be buying a length of BAR Stock. Generally the Longer lengths are cheaper and you always need a FUDGE Factor of 1+ or greater when doing measurements for the sample and then a final part being created. The Terms ( Bakers Dozen ) along with twice the Set amount costing HALF as much when the Dust settles ( LEAVES ) plenty of Scrap that then gets used for other such things. PAID for In Advance. Costing then the Designer, Creator, NOTHING except time and the brain power they may possess. NOW there also is a VERY THING line between what the COMPANY asked for then what ALSO got Taken care off through the many years of Wishful thinking. Government Jobs being Code words for After hours ( EXTRA ) Side Line Work going on. I saw one of these first hand. The Project was to make a Gear reduction of a Crank system that was about as old as MODERN MAN. My Buddies dad took some lying around parts, Stock, and misc. J U N K if You will and cut it all up to make basically a MOSTLY Free ( WORKING ) Model of the Final Product. He paid the big bucks to get the exact type, style and Quality of component stock to create this FRANKENSTIEN Amazement. In the end - It all Goes Back to the BEGINNING. One of the other workers caught wind of what he was doing then asked (IF) he too could get a version built to similar specs and dimensions as well. THEY did NOT want to get into any trouble with the higher ups so my buddies dad had a plan. Show them what some scrap was capable of being made into. At first it went no where. then after a few more sets of eyes along with facts and figures of time, versus cost, and total profits being sought. It created another side hustle on a small scale granted. What tools are Called, Designed for, Used for , or then also become once other uses are found ? NOT so much a mystery as the Initial reason it was to be ( AT ) all you see. MACHINSTS are a Crafty bunch of both left and right brain - functions. Worried less about exact dollar and cents then how to fit a square or rectangles into a triangle and then reverse thread a needle through a hay stack and make it three times it size coming out on the other end... GET IT ?? IF this box alone new was say 200 bucks give or take. the items inside might have ben acquired over time like Hand me downs or a Business backed Employee Percentage to get jobs done quicker benefitting all concerned in fact. The Tool Box My Buddies dad brought home after his Retirment had plenty of thigs with stories attached. We stood there with him one afternoon as he proudly opened up each size drawer and told a story or some odd ball occurrence that took place to get it where it was today. the box was actually one he got from another guy who was upgrading to a bigger size. At first he needed nothing so big as a Bread box when first beginning in that trade that became a life long Lesson in Patience and Grace. YES, Rust, broken Parts, Missing Pieces, brand names harder to read due to time being a cruel reminder of water and moisture along with heat and cold not caring one way or the other still. A PROFIT / A Great Find ? A Mystery or pieces of JUNK ? Or a Treasure chess filled with lots of GOOD LUCK ?? Like the POT of GOLD at the END of Each and Every Rainbow. Who See what and Why? Pass it all up or swoop in and HOPE your not into just somebody else DUMB LUCK of Crap and Crud !!! YOUR Welcome in Advance NEVER EVER DISCOUNT what one is NOT ready to Say OUT LOUD MONEY is way more then pennies and paper bills. HISTORY is in each and every one of things. How far one takes that BAIT ? All in a Matter of the name sake it became ?!?!?!
I think that company is still in business a while back I saw a video from PBS and company will take your box and recondition and make like brand new. That includes replacing that missing draw. You ought to give it a try. Oh good luck.
any one of the micrometers would easily be worth the price you paid for the whole box ...not to mention the box itself which originally sold for around 175.00 but being highly collectable has only gone up!
If you plan on restoring the Outside Divider Calipers, do not place them in Evapo-Rust or vinegar. For some unknown reason, it will cause the ring to crack.
Sad in a way, the old machinist passed away and someone with no appreciation or engineering skills got hold of what was once a beautifully kept box of valuable tools then abused and neglected them. Most would still clean up pretty good, and there is probably five times what you paid in second hand value when cleaned, up or more.
Yes, sad but at least they kept them and it didn't wind up in the dump. I will use what i can and get the rest into hands of people that will care for them. Thanks for watching!
I am glad you wore those gloves. You might have gotten cooties or, God forbid, dirty. It was a funny video. Made even better for your apparent reverence for Craftsman tools. I never saw anything by Craftsman in a real machinist's toolbox. Somehow I made through for 60 years in the mechanical/engineering trades without ever owning a Craftsman product. I always bought the best tools I could afford since I made my living with them. Have never seen a factory issue them. Why buy tools that are substandard if they will be used on a daily basis when really good tools are easy to find?
Sorry to trigger you. I rather not put my hands in mouse feces and urine if I don't need to. I know that may not make me as tough as you but I gave up thinking tough was cool decades ago. Right after my dad lost an eye changing drum brakes without safety glasses. Have a good one!
@@thetoolbandit That's why you wash your hands when you are done. What a bunch of pussies the younger generation has become. Probably wear gloves to wipe your ass too.
Nasty.Not a Kennedy box either,it is about 1950's vintage.The Square lid and the peeling paint is what gives it away.In itself,the box might be worth 10 bucks Kennedy sells felt kits and replacement front panels but not worth the cost.
Watching ur videos of this stuff is exhausting and painful, anyone who knows whats in this box was crawling out of their skin. I understand u might not know what a tool is,but that seems to be the norm for your videos I think doing a bit of research would help making a better content. Just my opinion…
@@thetoolbandit Really handy for doing layout work. Set the hooked leg on the end of your steel rule and the point into the etched scale division. Then you can strike a scribe line from the edge of the workpiece in just a few seconds without needing a surface plate or surface gage.
I said "radius" a few times when I probably should have said "diameter" but I guess if you find diameter you will also find radius 😂
The " plug screws" are transfer screws to transfer threaded hole locations to another surface
That makes sense! I couldn't figure it out just by looking at them. Thanks for the info! Thanks for watching!
I looked up the name badge on the front of the box, that owner passed away in 1978. I bought it from his son's estate.
I looked him up two lol
Eine echte Schatztruhe
👊😎👍
I looked him up, he passed on in 1977 and was a WW1 Marine veteran. He worked at Gisholt Machine Co in Madison and no doubt contributed a lot to the WW2 manufacturing industry, it was kind of a big deal company back in the day producing machine tools.

The Kennedy toolbox loan is worth 80 bucks. That’s a nice box.
I think if I clean it the rest of the original finish will fall off... LOL. Thanks for watching!
I have one like it that was a xmas gift in the 80s. Mine is covered w/ motocross stickers.
My favorite find is the radius gauges in the craftsman pouch, if its a full complete set thats a nice find and the vintage pouch seems to be in decent shape!

Watching ur videos of this stuff is exhausting and painful, anyone who knows whats in this box was crawling out of their skin. I understand u might not know what a tool is,but that seems to be the norm for your videos I think doing a bit of research would help making a better content. Just my opinion…
LOL! I get about 97%, can't know them all, no one knows every tool in every video. Thanks for watching! Don't hurt yourself!

@@thetoolbandit Really handy for doing layout work. Set the hooked leg on the end of your steel rule and the point into the etched scale division. Then you can strike a scribe line from the edge of the workpiece in just a few seconds without needing a surface plate or surface gage.
You did well woth your purchase but is is obvious your knowledge of tools is limited, most of these will cleaan up if done properly and be useful.
Thanks?
Swing and a miss.
I feel good about it. I have missed worse, LOL. Thanks for watching!
