If someone buys it to resell, I'm interested in those adjustable parallels.....
Somebody has to be in spitting range of Vaugn north of Toronto to pull this off. It's easy worth the 500 and I'm in line for a few things to make your money back and more too. Hoping there are Reamers and pin gauges, and some tenths mitutoyo or Interapids too.

When you go pick it up Susquatch, I'll buy those parallels from you......If you keep driving east to the end of the 407, I'll even let you deliver them to me

Well it wasn't within spitting distance from my place but as often happens you guys convinced me to part with my money. The traffic there and back was atrocious even on a Saturday! While it was no doubt a good deal, and it was a lot of fun digging through the stash I'm not sure that it met the more optimistic expectations. No pin gauges, no Interapids. Just a handful of reamers, some tenths Federals, some Starrett tools, a couple of nice small milling vises, a huge crap load of milling cutters, a lot of taps, and drill bits. The milling cutters, taps and drill bits are all good name brands made in USA like Butterfield and many were never used. I'll probably hang on to most of it since I didn't have much to begin with. Thanks to @justin1 for the heads up on this deal!
Sounds like you had fun! I'm interested in photos too!
Are you interested in selling the reamers?

OK so here's a few pictures. Didn't get any pics of the jumbled mess when it arrived but heres a few of the things as they are getting sorted.
First up a pic of all the end mills now sorted by shank size and type. Still racking my brain about how to store all these things in a manner that makes them easily accessible but not consuming a lot of space.
Next a pic of the mess on my kitchen table as I'm sorting the taps;
then the drill bits. The plastic bag is full of unused drill bits in original distributors packaging;
then my box of newly acquired reamers. Only half of these came home yesterday from Vaughn the other half came home last weekend from the HMEC meeting. Haven't had time yet to check if there are duplicates I wouldn't need but the collection isn't very big yet in any case.
The Starrett tools. Couldn't figure out at first what the round thing was. Now think its probably a drill and tap guide. Haven't had time to look it up yet. Any ideas what the Moore and Wright box has in it?
The Federal dial indicators;
a couple of mitutoyo calipers with some of the dreaded disintegrating foam removed;
Some small vises. I'm really glad to have these because otherwise what I had is all large 6 and 8 inch;
a collection of mostly shop made clamps;
other hss cutters and drills;
some tap wrenches;
some custom fixtures?
a whatsit made in Israel. Any one have any idea what this is?
an unusual cutter. I think I saw one of these in a KBC catalogue once. Any one have any idea what its used for?
a box of small Norton abrasive stones almost unused. I didn't know machinists used stuff like this. What do they do with these?
and numerous other miscellaneous items ....

Well depending on what you paid for all that you probably did alright.
I have one of those, it’s for deburring the edges of metal sheet.
Nice haul on the rest!

That round thing is a bench block. Used to support a part when you have to drift a pin out of the part.

Holy cow! Grainger sells new ones for over $200 and thats not including taxes and shipping!
Yup. That is generally one of the first pieces of kit for gunsmiths. Of course when I started I couldn't afford one, so I made one out of teflon.
Wow, I was sorting brass by weight and missed all this!
I have a pin block just like that. Got it with a nice set of Starrett pin punches from Brownells 40 or 50 years ago. It's definitely an essential tool for installing or removing pins from beautiful assemblies.
I didn't see the Starrett Pins. You should get pin drivers to go with it. Don't need Starrett though.
Edit - yes, they are there! In a plastic sleeve. Starrett too!

It's a deburring / chamfer tool for round holes. Don't think the ball goes with it.
You prolly meant micrometers. Beauties. I glued cotton Long John fabric in my old boxes.
Yup, they do. Some in every gunsmiths tool kit. Essential for fine deburring and fitting precision parts like triggers.
