Brass wheeled toolsWell after a pretty sh!t week I come in this evening and fine early tools on OFAS for £11 BIN each . . . what could I do??? 
So FB lineshaft along with brass-wheeled press and hammer are now going to be built into another early workshop. there was an early polisher there too (c1949 early raised base and cast iron pedestal....)
As I say bargains are out there . . . .

Im intending to build these into a small workshop with an 1948 SE2 flatbase, which will be bang on the correct date for the tools. Got lucky.

Trouble is I have missed a few engines I rather liked on the grounds of no funds

We all get lucky from time to time, then again there are always engines and accessories that come along at the wrong time. This was too good to pass up, each tool itself could go for 20-30.

Opportunities like that have to be taken swiftly, or it's passed you by.
They couldn't have been up for sale for very long.

Just up today I think, just came home from work and had a coffee wilst browsing, nearly did a double take when they appeared, these days its best not to hang around. P+P was £2 for the lot, so £35 was a bargain for all 3.
