Recent finds and buys

Pulled these out of a barn with a few other treasures in April. The wheels are really nice, the tires , display only. They cleaned up nice

 

After a little effort ^^^

 

Looks nice,how did you clean them up?

 

Started with my pressure washer , fine steel wool ( lightly ) and a real old can of Mother's Mag wheel polish. A friend had given me some " tire black " chemical that really helped the look of those old tires

 

Really made a huge difference!

 

Thanks! I'm glad to have found them and brought them home.

 

Cool

 

Traded a set of flathead heads and a triple deuce set up for this 1958 Chrysler.

 

Got this cool old lamp at a vintage car club swapmeet on the weekend.

 

Built like a tank !,perhaps used in a mine or railroad.

 

i think you got the better end of that deal for sure. especially if it has everything missing in it.

 

Considering the size, maybe a patent model? Find any numbers on it?

 

I wonder if it was shop made (built in house, not purchased) for a specific purpose. The flat pulley suggests it’s from an old shop that had overhead shafts to power all the equipment.

 

He has a parts car that most the parts are on. I'm not sure all what is or isn't missing but most of it is inside and then on the parts car. Has brand new interior as well.

 

Estate Sale of a basket case '34 pu. Widow gave me a photo of the truck Before it was blown apart! 1980's in Washington State? Remember it?? Flathead power with lots of chrome and STACKS! Newc

 

My buddy lent me some old catalogs to look at. He got them in a box of stuff. Thought you guy's would like to look at this one too. Gene.

 

I picked up this cool license plate frame yesterday.

 

This is what I bought at Hershey last week,plus a neat badge I got at an antique tool show. The magazines are from 1940 and '33. The tether car is an Ohlsson and Rice sprite car. The 6 inch scales have neat advertising on them. The only reference I found for the Prudential Automobile Service Corporation on the interwebs was in the Nov. 1922 issue of Iron Age magazine. It said the company was incorporated with $100,000 capital, to manufacture car parts, and do general machine repair.At that time, their manufacturing was being done by subcontractors.

 

I got this for free. Its a Hardinge TM or UM horizontal mill. I had to get it up a 35 foot long stairway, which I did with the help of my next younger brother and a friend. It needs some work, and I will have to find some tool holders,a single phase motor, and maybe a vertical head for it.

 

I brought this home today. I thought I'd share it. It may be too new for the HAMB, but, I'll share it anyway. It's a photo album and autographs from the Spring Nationals at Bristol in 1976. Ron Sox, Tommy Ivo, Shirley Muldowny, The Greek, and others

 

This was the car the Greek ran with a lot of gold plating on it, and the engine too.

 

Got a new paint gun
