Found these little gem going through a junk pile at work

Man, don’t you just hate it when you find junk like that just lying around?
I really feel sorry for you.

Aw man today is a good day. I picked up the stuff I bought from Friday’s auction. I’ve been more on the inspection tool kick and specialty stuff. First is a baldor variable speed motor for the suburban master grind I got at the last auction. This completes that setup which is awesome.

Then I got some pallets two different sizes then two inspection plates one ground one cast 45 bucks. Can’t buy the material for that.

Got some gauge block sets. All brown and sharp and one do-all set. Each set is missing at least one block but that’s okay. I’ve been after some but they can be very pricey. These are all grade A and I paid under fifty for each set except the large set was 60.

Then some gauges .0001 gauges all brand new. The long travel one I plan to use for a secondary measurement on my surface grinder. Seriously 5&10 bucks each. The starrett was 25

Some mics the starrett cost me 75 but whoever had the battery in backwards wasn’t working. I put new battery in the right way and it worked. Looks like brand new. My first digital mic. Then a lufkin 4-5 didn’t have 10 bucks.

Depth gauge and precision magnetic square still had the wax covering. The square was 30 bucks unreal!

Nice brown and sharpe height gauge

Nice little compound jig for grinding. At least that’s my intentions was only 15 bucks. These other things came with it which turns out to be sopko washers, nuts, pullers and four hubs. Bad thing is three of the hubs are RH which my grinder needs LH. For the price I’ll take it.

That’s what I had bought but once there I asked if anyone had bought the wall of grinding wheels for 50 bucks. The owner of the place said NO and we walked over there. He said grabbed whatever you want 20 bucks. I said hell yeah. Got about 50-60 wheels. Profiles,cut-offs, ones for my tool grinder all kinds I think I’m set for awhile
And to top off this awesome deal. When I paid the bill to the owner guy he didn’t even charge me the 18% auction charge which was on the invoice they sent me.
After talking with the owner he said the place closed due to his father being 95 and no longer wants the company so he sold it son didn’t want any part of it.
Sorry such a long post was just a crazy deal and my wife doesn’t care one bit about all my stuff. Had to tell somebody!She’s just takes everything made and fixed for granted and says you sure spend a lot of time in the garage. I’m addicted it’s a disease

That’s a nice haul you made there. Congrats

Yeah definately a good haul. Found enough room amazingly for storage. I think I should be good to get me through winter.

Lushington, interesting. I've not run into that name in tools before, and we see a fair amount of UK stuff here. The quality looks to be quite nice.

I'd not heard of them before either - but the name is on the case and on each gauge so they were the manufacturer. Also on each gauge is "Pat.No. 569225".
