More goodies !
Hi Guys,
The other day, Tuesday, my wife and I went to Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. There was a second hand and surplus market. A few vegetable stalls and lots of stalls selling unloved and second hand bits and pieces, including a couple of stalls selling tools, most of which were rusty junk.
However I did find a few gems hidden in tins and decaying cardboard boxes. Most sellers were willing to grab at any offer for stuff that you made. I spent a few pounds, eight to be exact, on these items.

These were in a soggy cardboard box. I must confess that when I got home I dunked them in a basin of pure lemon juice. The first Item the Champion Spark Plug Gap Tool, has come up very well, certainly better than the set of Moore & Wright feeler gauges, which I discovered had the 1.5 thou blade torn off.

On another stall I found these Moore & Wright radius gauges. They were in a rusty tobacco tin. A pound each and they were mine. The guy on the stall gave me a right old, they belonged to my dad story, but he didn't really know what they were or what they would have been used for.

Then five slitting saw blades in reasonable condition. Four of them made by ESC of Manchester and one by Cardinal, AEI. Five inch diameter by 1/32" inch thick. No broken teeth and no obvious cracks in them. They might want a touch up on the teeth but look OK.
There was various boxes of slot drills and cutters. Every one that I picked up was damaged in one way or another, lots of carbide in there as well. Probably worth a lot of money as carbide scrap. The HSS not so much.
All in all a nice day out.
