a bit of a weird one and hard to explain, I have been to a few car boot events recently and been on ebay and gumtree, there is a glut of taps drill bits calipers mics and hand planes but not much of really old interesting stuff ( as expected because if there is a glut of them they would not be interesting )..
I was wondering if there are some great sites or places I could go where unusual items can be found, for example old workshop clearance sites or examples of items you know the names of but dont see many around, I've added a few photos of items I had never heard of until I saw and bought them
first is a Febson test indicator, second is a watchmakers hand clamp, oh amd a gem I found and restored.. a Drummond Mk2 hand shaper but tbh after buying 4x lathes built around WW1 and WW2 era plus the shaper I really need to scale down the size lol
