[TheForge] NJ Tools update

[John Husvar]

Kim George is helping clear out a property for estate sale. This
is in New Jersey.

The deceased owner was a collector to the point of being a pack rat, but
with expensive tastes.

Up to now they've identified:

Three South Bend lathes, one with 18" swing, 12 foot ways, and two
others, a bench top and one on its own cast SB stand.

2-3 drill presses so far, floor and bench mounted, not sure yet of the
brand names

3 other engine lathes not yet reached to identify

1 Type "M" (Le Blanc?) horizontal mill

10-15 hit & miss engines, 1 apparently for marine use -- one is branded
John Deere

Several dozen Stanley planes and several dozen, as far as they have
gotten so far, other antique planes

At least 2 wood lathes

Miscellaneous tooling for everything, but which the people doing the
cleaning might not recognize, so ask and be prepared to send pictures to
help them identify tools

1 engine from a WW2 P51 Mustang , heads off, but may still be around
there

email: chenevey at hotmail.com for more information and to get on the list
of people he'll send updates.

Apparently, the house, basement and outbuildings are so stuffed with
equipment  that they literally have to clear paths just to see things
and a lot hasn't been found yet.
