Houston - Swap meet at Trader's Village has tooling

[strantor]

If you're in Houston with nothing to do tomorrow (Sunday 3/16/13) check out the auto parts swap meet @ Trader's Village. There was a guy there today selling tooling for cheaper than I've ever seen. He was about out of it when I got there, but he said he'd have a whole 'nother truck load in the morning (I'm going back). He sold me 2 brand new Niagara 1/2" end mills for 1$ each. He is selling carbide inserts for 1$ each. Mitutoyo and Starrett mics, all cheaper than dirt.

Anybody know what that little chuck might be for originally? Watchmaker's lathe maybe? A better question, what could it be used for NOW? It's a self centering 3 jaw chuck, 2" diameter.
