My wife's grandmother passed away a couple months ago. She had hoarded a lot of stuff as some people do. The uncle had been cleaning things out but most of the garage stuff had largely gone untouched since her grandfather passed in 1998. The uncle finally got things manageable and asked if we wanted to come over and go through things. She got an ancient doll she always liked and a few mechanical clocks and some furniture etc...
I got grandpa's old craftsman tool box and his old bench vise. The box fit right on my red bottom box nicely. The vise is really neat and marked made in England on the other side. Here's also a pic of the junky little vise I had that came with my house.
