Sold: Stanley No. 77 Mortise Gauge

You’ll find fewer than the usual toolbox dings on this rosewood mortise gauge, marked “New Britain, Conn. USA”. The rosewood is a nice burgundy color, not that “what-did-I-eat-for-dinner” orange. The pins have plenty of life left (the mortise-side pins need to be shaped), and the brass has an even patina. A bit of rosewood has chipped out near the hole for the stem, but that should not affect its use. One other apology: it’s missing the brass foot that backs the thumbscrew. $45 Reduced to $30.

Sold: Small Hand-Crank Grinders

These hand-crank grinders are offered as a pair.

Small Hand-Crank Grinders

On the left is a small grinder with a solid wheel. It’s functional, but no looker. There’s a brazed repair near the bottom that has not impacted the function. On the right is a nice little grinder. It comes with a two-part wheel that seems made for grinding a knife bevel. $15 for the pair.
