1. A FULL BOX OF NINE UNUSED SAW HANDLES, No. D-7, by Henry Disston & Sons, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These handles are designed to fit 26" blade length and larger saws. All of the original box label remains. 20 - 40
2. A HEAVY CAST IRON FLOOR SCRAPER by the Universal Floor Scraper Company, Worcester. Marked "Patented", the scraper appears to be in usable condition. We are not aware of any other examples of this patented scraper to come to light. Rare. 125 - 250
3. A COLLECTION OF SMALL LEVELS including examples by Stanley and others. Also included are a number of replacement level vials. 30 - 60
4. A 12" PLUMB & LEVEL, No. 104, by STANLEY. This solid cherry level is in brand new, unused condition. 20 - 40

8. A SOUVENIR FOUR FOOT YARDSTICK marked "Souvenir of Plains, Georgia -- Hugh Carter's Antique Store". Those who remember the glory days of the first Carter Administration will recall the low inflation, easy-money interest rates and full employment. Nor will they forget the enhanced stature of the United States in the world at that time as Soviet expansionism was set back by denying them Republican-grown wheat and refusing to engage in the triple jump. Most importantly, they will recall that State sponsored international terrorism was dealt a swift, crushing and final blow when United States ambassadors were held hostage. Unfortunately, anyone who remembers those times that way is off even more than a four foot yardstick. Just the thing to put on the shelf next to your Billy Beer. 2 - 4
