Wanted to share these lovely little finds with the forum, know many of you love old tools, hopefully these will be of interest to some. All from one of my many tool trunks, these were all in the top tray, never got any further once I dusted these off.

The little Rabone combi square is super, not particularly practical for me maybe, however it’s size appeals. At first I thought, oh that’s a shame, the beams been cut down, however on closer inspection after dusting it off, it’s does not appear to have been shortened. I’ve seen a 6” version in an old catalogue, never a 4” tho, maybe its rare and I can retire ;)

The Lucas is marked Girder Major No 93, not seen one of these previously, interesting wrench, with its secondary moveable jaw.

The star I think is the Rabone machinists level, haven’t found a serial number on it yet, need to look online for some more info, it’s solid built, 620g, and has a protective roll over sleeve that can protect the bubble.

Interesting I have just found one in the bottom of a tool box but with a 6" rule needs a good clean.
