Great haul Magdad!!!! My Dad worked for NY Telephone for 42 years. I have some of his tools from that time. Stanley Yankee drills, Bell System pliers, wire cutters and electricians knives!!! Thanks for sharing!! My dad has been gone for 16 years but I still use his tools on a regular basis. Thanks again Magdad!!! The Old Army Scout…
It's actually a leather awl for poking holes in leather to put brads through, but lots of people used them to scratch lines in wood, metal and all kinds of things. I'm sure some people also used them to make pilot holes for screws as well.
What a steal for $6. Bell systems tools are cool. When I was a kid I would dumpster dive at the phone co. All kinds of interesting stuff. Sometimes new in the package. You did good on this one. Yeah we have to pay 5 cents each for plastic bags here in Va. Great video, Thanks!
Nice find on the toolbox and the fabric. I did not know about the button puller, so happy to learn something. The wooden box held up well over the decades. I love the Yankee ice pick. That will look like new with a new handle. Well done Mrs Magdad with the bags. As you said, very fancy, but also very strong. Thanks for the video. Dave.
In 2003 I re-roofed a house that I'd lived in for 25 years. Inside the box formed by the soffit and fascia I found a 24" folding boxwood rule that had been left there in 1937-8 when the house had been constructed! It was still in excellent condition.
Some of the stuff looks like luthier stuff. "End Nippers" are fret pullers. "Bent file" could be Bridge plate puller or brace puller. The t-handle drill bit looking things are reemers for tuning key or string-peg holes...Nice find!
Nice haul lots of good stuff I like the hacksaw and all the bell system tools. Look forward to seeing the box redone. Mrs magdad is very talented the bags turned out great.
The joinery on the box are called finger joints. That steel ball on the scissors, if I am not mistaken, is to help keep the scissors closed when stored away. Amazing haul on the box. Great video.
Nice haul Bud!! You can start your own Bell Systems collection now!! The Mrs did a beautiful job on those bags!! Ask her what's the largest needle and thread she can use in her Machine, Roadking is curious!!☻
Nice haul M.D.. Lot more tools than it looked... I used to have one of those folding rulers.. Belonged to my grandfather.. very old but in immaculate condition.. Another thing from my family that disappeared over the years... thx for bringing us along on another great tool haul.. take care my friend...
@@357magdad yep, my dad unloaded a lot of our family items before his move back to Tennessee.. one of those items was a flintlock musket rifle that had been in the family for a long time.. once they're gone, there is a good chance that you will never see them again.. very sad..
Wooden rules are always a good find. I wish we had more town wide yard sales around here. Seems like most people in my area are trying to clean out chairs that are missing one or two from a set and kids clothes lol. Great buy.
I have not been much of a yard sale person so far, but have had good luck buying tools at Estate tag sales. How do you find out about upcoming yard sales in your community?
The opposite side of the paint can opener is a paint can closer! You hook it under the lip of the can and lift to rotate the broad end down and the leverage allows you to push the lid on without striking it.
Awesome find and i agree the folding ya4d stick caught my eye. When i find old tool i always about the guy who used it and was he a mechanic, craftsman or tinker like me. I have a small metal toolbox my son bought at a yard sale i keep my old tool finds in. I'm 68 yoa and been collecting - buying tools since was 9-10 yoa.
Great find! I have 3 generations- or more- of old fine tools in my dad's garage. I live in Mom and Dad's house since they are gone now. ... Am restoring, if needed, as time goes by. Turned 80 two mos. ago. Hope I have time to finish the project...
Great find for $6! The folding rule alone is worth $20! Mrs. Magdad is a master with her sewing machine! You should keep an eye out for a nice grommet tool so you can put them into fabrics and such for projects.
I love the Mrs. shopping bags. Those are the best I have ever seen. Tell her from me that she is very talented. I wish she could teach my grand daughter to sew that well. Thanks you two. Keep it up please.
I love buying box lots and this one was extra special. Lots of cool items. Just a few were: The button hook. My Dad made us button hooks to tighten the laces on our ice skates. The soap stone. Also called French Chalk. David Chadwick turned me onto using it to dress files before working on soft metal. It prevents the file from loading up and works much better than chalkboard chalk. The box itself. A tool box lasting that long in that good of condition is rare.
@OldSneelock Thankyou for the tip about French Chalk. I’ve worked with Bronze, Brass, Silver and Copper for years and didn’t know this. Every day a school day-much appreciated sir!
You got a good deal Magdad! I’d have given $6 for the paint stirring stick and zip tie. 😆 Love that Stanley SW screwdriver and that ice pick. Lots of great projects. I hope you restore that box. That would make a great video. Tell Mrs Magdad she did a super job on those bags. I wish I knew how to run a sewing machine. Seems like a good skill to have for sure. Take care 😃👍🏼
Nice treasures in that $6 box! I would have gladly paid $6 for the box empty. Instead you have quite a few cool new tools to restore. Most look like high quality vintage items. Those bags Mrs. Magdad made are exquisite!
WOW, just found your channel by 'chance' - what an interesting one it is too. I love the old tool box - I would have bought it too. It, and the contents have real stories to tell - there is something about using old tools, and wondering about their previous life. Great video and content - I'll have to catch up on your previous ones now 🙂
Great find. Especially like the Stanley short folding rule. The Yankee I remember seeing those used as awls, that one probably took a hammer blow too many. Used to drink a lot of Rheingold back in PA. Still have the church key and the same button hook. Thanks
@@357magdad I did follow up with that. Looks great, but the paint was part of its history, I feel. That said, I've stripped oak tables that had been painted, but relatively recently when it was a fashion phase to paint furniture.
Good find, fun stuff to refurbish, you scored well on a few items, box being the prize in my book, would like to see the refinishing process you use on it. Nice shopping bags, good use of the fabric, I like them. Thanks for the video sir.
love the haul!! Mrs. M could make a killing selling those bags, maybe even purses. My wife has trouble finding a decent concealed carry purse that will hod up and doesnt cost the price of a tank of gas. Enjoy the 4th!
Good video. You $6.00 toolbox reminds me of an old tackle box I bought at a store where the main focus is fly fishing. I didn't know they had a Used aisle and was surprised when I saw tackle boxes. I saw a small metal one done in brown wrinkle finish, When I opened iit, it was full of vintage tackle, accessories and tools. It was a time machine in a box.Still have it and most of the contents
Your Wife did a Killer job on her one of a kind Bags ! My mother was a Seamstress all her life . She passed away less than a year ago. She was 83 . Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it. Good Luck from Tennessee.
Thanks for the tour. Some definitely gems in there. Looking forward to some of the restore videos. Is Mrs. Magdad going to get her own channel? Beautiful work. My daughter would love those bags.
I believe I have the exact same pipe wrench! I got it at a flea market for only a dollar, and it was one of the first tools I ever restored. Just so happens that pipe wrench is one of the most useful tools I’ve ever bought🤣. Great video Magdad!
Great video Magdad. We recently returned to Missouri from a big swing through the north east. We support the no bags deal but were not completely programmed for it. (We’re doing better now that we’re back). Anyway my wife LOVES what Mrs Magdad made out of the samples.
Very nice haul! I like that ruler! I love a good wooden box! I buy cigar boxes of various sizes when I buy cigars. There are some nice ones out there. Mrs. Magdad made some nice bags and look heavy duty! She should make you a wrench roll up!
Great haul. You've got a real treasure chest. The background research is always appreciated. I've never seen that kind of a design on that small hacksaw. I know the Yankee handle on t he ice pick/ pokey thing is damaged, but possibly it can be repaired. The yankee letters look to like they are raised. A screaming deal for $6
The end nippers have an interesting box joint design. I wish I could find a maker's mark. Shoot me an email if you are interested in them. 357mdad@gmail.com
The tool box is really cool. Very nice contents. Mrs. Magdad should start marketing those bags. The laws on plastics is growing. Great job on the bags.
Cool stuff! I have the same buttonhook I use to stump people with. I think you're right about the hammer and screwdriver being part of the original tool set. The box is really cool too.
Thanks for watching! Check out how the ice pick turned out: ruclips.net/video/9plD1BimUvc/видео.html Bell System Screwdriver: ruclips.net/video/FJdJ1ecDUm8/видео.html
Mrs MagDad is pretty handy with that sweing machine! I bet you could sell bags like that for $40 or $50 dollars on eBay! Glad you enjoyed your toolbox. ...... I have 2 large toolboxes of spanners I bought 4 months ago, waiting for me to go collect them, in Sussex, England. ...... Belonged to an aero engineer with the Fleet Air Arm, so I am hoping they prove interesting.
Nice work on the bags by Mrs. MagDad 👍 definitely unique. I guarantee other shoppers will be curious about them. I hate that they’ve outlawed the plastic shopping bags. I used to save them for cleaning the cat box and for collecting the dog poop in the yard. Now I have to buy small waste basket liners for the same purpose…., so basically their stupid rule had zero effect on my plastic consumption…., except that now it costs me money. Nice going legislators…
Box rule, made from boxwood and brass, at one time most tradesmen had one, that's what the long pocket is for on overalls. The brass rod looks like a pipe expanding tool for making sockets on copper pipe.
I remember my Uncle Clem used a key like that for opening ground coffee sold in black cans, don't remember the brand. Loved the video, I'm going out to my shed to see what is hiding in the tool box I inherited from him. Thanks

Thanks for watching Dave! I've got a few Bell System tools. Check out my Bell System screwdriver restoration: ruclips.net/video/FJdJ1ecDUm8/видео.html
Awesome buy!
The Bell Systems screw driver is an insulated screwdriver. The red plastic insulates the ferrule from the shaft.
I've restored a couple of these and actually got out the multi-meter to prove to myself that the ferrule is insulated from the shaft.
Also classic Stanley black handle.
A treasure chest of History. Somebody's life story of fixing in a little box!
When I saw it at the yard sale I knew it was coming home with me!
Nice find! That tool box is my favorite part. I bet it will clean up nicely! You were the right person to come across it at the yard sale.
I've already stared on the box!
The Yankee "Pokey Thing" is a bradawl. Use it to pierce wood in preparation for screw, just like a pilot drill.
Thanks for watching Kevin! It's actually an ice pick. Check out how it turned out:
ruclips.net/video/9plD1BimUvc/видео.html
Gentlemen, those are scratch awls. Use to mark wood under a straightedge.
It's actually a leather awl for poking holes in leather to put brads through, but lots of people used them to scratch lines in wood, metal and all kinds of things. I'm sure some people also used them to make pilot holes for screws as well.
What a great find!! Those shopping bags are top notch!

Thanks Mike! The BYO bags isn't so bad as long as we remember to bring them!
@@357magdad Yeah, that is the key, remembering! Much better than having a plastic bag break too! 😂
Nice find on the toolbox and the fabric.
I did not know about the button puller, so happy to learn something.
The wooden box held up well over the decades.
I love the Yankee ice pick. That will look like new with a new handle.
Well done Mrs Magdad with the bags. As you said, very fancy, but also very strong.
Thanks for the video.
Dave.
I think that ice pick will be a challenging project for me!
My bet, its designed to be used to scratch a line in metal. Back in the day there was a die you put on a project to show your scratch mark better.
In 2003 I re-roofed a house that I'd lived in for 25 years. Inside the box formed by the soffit and fascia I found a 24" folding boxwood rule that had been left there in 1937-8 when the house had been constructed! It was still in excellent condition.
That's a great find!
Great tool haul and restoration projects. That wooden toolbox is crying for Bombay Mahogany stain.
Thanks Larry! A lot of viewers like that box!
The reason pant can openers have a bottle opener as well is because most painters love what's in the bottle. 🤠
🍸
Some of the stuff looks like luthier stuff. "End Nippers" are fret pullers. "Bent file" could be Bridge plate puller or brace puller. The t-handle drill bit looking things are reemers for tuning key or string-peg holes...Nice find!

8:25 “someone was beatin’ on that like it owed them money.” 🤣🤣🤣 Never heard that before. Also, Mrs. Magdad’s bags are great!
I slipped in a Magdad-ism!
Sweet haul, Id been sold on the box alone! There are a ton of good finds in there. Way to go!!
I'm looking forward to seeing what's under the gray paint!

With that many yard sales it’s hard to believe that’s all you came home with. I really like those Stanley items. Awesome video magdad.

That Yankee ice pick should be a fun project!
Is it an awl or an ice pick?
@@RAWDirtTV I think it is an ice pick made by Gilchrist.
That mystery tool at the end was a shoe button tool. It was for putting the loop over the button on a shoe. My mom used to use that tool!
You're right Stephen!

First Yankee tool looks like a scratch awl, used for marking on metal or wood.

"awl"= pokey thing. 😁 Good haul, esp. for 6 bucks. Digging that Stanley bell system screwdriver
Thanks for watching!

Love that toolbox, and the Bell System screwdriver!
I'm pretty excited about that screwdriver!
That box is awesome let alone the tools. It screaming to have the paint stripped off and the wood sanded and polished
I may have to move the box up in my schedule...
Mrs MagDad is pretty handy with that sweing machine!
I bet you could sell bags like that for $40 or $50 dollars on eBay!
Glad you enjoyed your toolbox. ...... I have 2 large toolboxes of spanners I bought 4 months ago, waiting for me to go collect them, in Sussex, England. ...... Belonged to an aero engineer with the Fleet Air Arm, so I am hoping they prove interesting.
Mrs Magdad is amazing! Check out the denim jeans quilt she made!

Love the box! Glad I don't live in Jersey, what would I use for kitchen trash bags?
It has taken some getting used to, but the BYO bags are working out!
Nice work on the bags by Mrs. MagDad 👍 definitely unique. I guarantee other shoppers will be curious about them.
I hate that they’ve outlawed the plastic shopping bags. I used to save them for cleaning the cat box and for collecting the dog poop in the yard. Now I have to buy small waste basket liners for the same purpose…., so basically their stupid rule had zero effect on my plastic consumption…., except that now it costs me money. Nice going legislators…
Mrs Magdad has the nicest re-usable bags in the store!
Nice find . I agree with you on the screwdrivers mag dad. How about that broken chisel ,hope he had safety glasses on
It's a shame about that chisel. I bet shards went flying!

That’s a neck for a table lamp. It shrouds the central threaded rod between the body of the lamp and the socket. I restore vintage lamps.
Thanks!
Can't wait to see what you do with the wooden toolbox !!!!
I was working on it today!
Box rule, made from boxwood and brass, at one time most tradesmen had one, that's what the long pocket is for on overalls.
The brass rod looks like a pipe expanding tool for making sockets on copper pipe.
The couple of Bell System tools makes me wonder if a former owner worked for the phone company.
Former owner could have been German. My father had some of those German marked tools. Just a thought.
Good haul, most old tools are made from really good steel, much better than modern tools.
Thanks Doug! Old tools rule!
Great haul! Always appreciate the background information.
Thanks Steve! I love learning about the stuff I find!
Williams, made some of the best wrenches ever, I had a uh Williams adjustable wrench, that I used for years.
I agree Donald, Williams made some fine tools!
Good to see these went to someone who appreciates them.
Thanks for watching!
I remember my Uncle Clem used a key like that for opening ground coffee sold in black cans, don't remember the brand. Loved the video, I'm going out to my shed to see what is hiding in the tool box I inherited from him. Thanks
Thanks for watching! If you find anything interesting, send me a photo!

You definitely got a bargain for $6! That's something I would scoop up!
$6 well spent!
