History Today’s Estate sale finds

My son and I went to a large estate sale this morning and found a few small items.

 

This panel is probably from a boat but I thought it was pretty cool.

SW governor

 

Those little lawn mower gas tanks come in handy when starting an engine with a suspect gas tank, fuel line etc.

 

My phone never rang.

 

I’d say you guys had a good day, well done!

 

My bad. If you want to go to the house part Friday/Saturday let me know. This was just the out buildings.

 

....I heard all of the good stuff was in the out buildings!

 

The third pic is a really neat little tool box. Looks hand made and there is a door under the lid for extra storage. The pic kind of makes it look like a coffin, I don’t collect those.

 

There was not a whole lot of car stuff. Machinist heaven and a bunch of antique tools. They seemed to be priced high to me.

 

I forgot this one. Probably not worth much more than the buck I paid for it.(The front of the car is chopped off)
The reverse side was a surprise if your a fan of Homer’s Odyssey.

 

^^^That's the Trojan Horse"^^^

 

I would say all the good stuff is now in your garage. Interesting finds, ya done good!

 

Very good Columbo! From Homer’s The Odyssey. Also mentioned in Aeneid, the Latin epic.

 

The "Chrysler Powered" cluster is amazing, that needs to go in a hotrod of some kind for sure. Could be from a boat, or maybe some kind of fancy equipment where RPM's were really important, I never saw a tach graduated like that before. NOS SW gauge in the box and the No-Nox thing is pretty cool too. That might need some kind of poster frame to keep it flat and from falling apart.

 

Some great wall hanger stuff there!

 

You must be tired out from that haul. I got tired just looking at it.

Let me know if you want to go back. I will meet you in St Leonard and we can take my truck.

 

Looks like you were right about it being a boat panel @wraymen

The panels look like they were made by Stewart Warner
