I said "radius" a few times when I probably should have said "diameter" but I guess if you find diameter you will also find radius 😂

The " plug screws" are transfer screws to transfer threaded hole locations to another surface

$80.00 investment should bring you $400, provided condition is clean and good.Great find, Tool Bandit.

I looked up the name badge on the front of the box, that owner passed away in 1978. I bought it from his son's estate.

Amelie's father would live to clean that tool box!!

The Kennedy toolbox loan is worth 80 bucks. That’s a nice box.

Cool old box, can’t wait to see what’s in the other ones! Thanks for sharing

When you derust those calipers don’t use Evaporust or vinegar on the top spring. It will ruin the temper of the spring and they will break. I notice the key is present in one of the drawers. They are usually missing, so that is lucky. I think the square top boxes, as opposed to the rounded top you’ll usually see, are late 40s.

Those are called snap meters for getting inside diameters,collapse them insert and twist the handle end to release, retwist to set them pull out and measure.

Thanks for the video. I scored at a garage sale last weekend. 5 waterloo tool boxes on casters. Full of tools. Some machinist and capentry. Loads of machanic tools, some snapon but mostly SK and Proto. 60$. I love the hunt and the opening of the draws. People are unloading for 5 cents on the dollar. Auctions are really hot right now also

The large combination square has a Union Tools design to the square head. The center head and angle gauge may be part of the four piece set altogether.

I used chalk when I have a tapered tool that doesn't like to fit into a bore real tight. Few lines of chalk and your tool doesn't spin. Learned that 30 years old when I was learning the trade. Most old machinists have chalk in their boxes.

Thanks for showing your haul. I learned something about those Starrett adjustable rule set you acquired which included a right angle and 45 degree adjustable ruler, centre finder and angle finder. I have the exact same set which I inherited from my father in law after he passed away. I always thought two of the rulers were missing and didn't even realise they were all part of a set. Now having seen the exact same pieces come out of your tool chest I realised the ruler is intended to be shared among the 3 holders! Thanks for showing. 😀

My 8 Drawer is beat up, and I got what I think is a good deal on a new 11 Drawer with the elusive Keys - 600 Bucks. New, they are usually 1000 Dollars or more, good quality Machinist Tools, etc are expensive. I guess a Kennedy Box is not necessary, but nice to have.

Ah - Yes KENNEDY Boxes like the Machinists along with Tool & Die makers of that area. My buddies dad and His Uncle worked in that specific realm at the same company before Retiring about 30 years later in total. Each and every morning ( MONDAY thru Friday ) they did the Tandem trek to work and back. Upon the Celebrated Retirment each became a Bit bigger of a Celebrity company wide. Seems they had a number of high level changes through the three decades and these two gents were indeed the BACK BONE of what kept it all rolling so to speak. We know how both Common and Un-Common it could be to have smaller places get swallowed up and then mergers happen with many long time workers simply being cut or demoted as well. So, The Tools are like what most would be considered Cast offs or ( ONE - Offs ) for a particular task of ODD ball request ( OTHERS ) might be making. A good example would be buying a length of BAR Stock. Generally the Longer lengths are cheaper and you always need a FUDGE Factor of 1+ or greater when doing measurements for the sample and then a final part being created. The Terms ( Bakers Dozen ) along with twice the Set amount costing HALF as much when the Dust settles ( LEAVES ) plenty of Scrap that then gets used for other such things. PAID for In Advance. Costing then the Designer, Creator, NOTHING except time and the brain power they may possess. NOW there also is a VERY THING line between what the COMPANY asked for then what ALSO got Taken care off through the many years of Wishful thinking. Government Jobs being Code words for After hours ( EXTRA ) Side Line Work going on. I saw one of these first hand. The Project was to make a Gear reduction of a Crank system that was about as old as MODERN MAN. My Buddies dad took some lying around parts, Stock, and misc. J U N K if You will and cut it all up to make basically a MOSTLY Free ( WORKING ) Model of the Final Product. He paid the big bucks to get the exact type, style and Quality of component stock to create this FRANKENSTIEN Amazement. In the end - It all Goes Back to the BEGINNING. One of the other workers caught wind of what he was doing then asked (IF) he too could get a version built to similar specs and dimensions as well. THEY did NOT want to get into any trouble with the higher ups so my buddies dad had a plan. Show them what some scrap was capable of being made into. At first it went no where. then after a few more sets of eyes along with facts and figures of time, versus cost, and total profits being sought. It created another side hustle on a small scale granted. What tools are Called, Designed for, Used for , or then also become once other uses are found ? NOT so much a mystery as the Initial reason it was to be ( AT ) all you see. MACHINSTS are a Crafty bunch of both left and right brain - functions. Worried less about exact dollar and cents then how to fit a square or rectangles into a triangle and then reverse thread a needle through a hay stack and make it three times it size coming out on the other end... GET IT ?? IF this box alone new was say 200 bucks give or take. the items inside might have ben acquired over time like Hand me downs or a Business backed Employee Percentage to get jobs done quicker benefitting all concerned in fact. The Tool Box My Buddies dad brought home after his Retirment had plenty of thigs with stories attached. We stood there with him one afternoon as he proudly opened up each size drawer and told a story or some odd ball occurrence that took place to get it where it was today. the box was actually one he got from another guy who was upgrading to a bigger size. At first he needed nothing so big as a Bread box when first beginning in that trade that became a life long Lesson in Patience and Grace. YES, Rust, broken Parts, Missing Pieces, brand names harder to read due to time being a cruel reminder of water and moisture along with heat and cold not caring one way or the other still. A PROFIT / A Great Find ? A Mystery or pieces of JUNK ? Or a Treasure chess filled with lots of GOOD LUCK ?? Like the POT of GOLD at the END of Each and Every Rainbow. Who See what and Why? Pass it all up or swoop in and HOPE your not into just somebody else DUMB LUCK of Crap and Crud !!! YOUR Welcome in Advance NEVER EVER DISCOUNT what one is NOT ready to Say OUT LOUD MONEY is way more then pennies and paper bills. HISTORY is in each and every one of things. How far one takes that BAIT ? All in a Matter of the name sake it became ?!?!?!

Good buy. I would have dropped 80 bucks, without hesitation, on that box with the contents. I saw a small porcelain rod in one of the drawers. You can make something very sharp using a round piece of porcelain. It looks like the owner and I both believe in keeping anything that would make a good shim. I have a drawer full of shim stock in many flavors. The tools that he made that were tapered on one end and radiused on the other appear to be sheave gauges. Wedges are handy when you need to move a part in a setup but cannot get a jack screw under it.
