I acquired several hand tools, and a few pieces of pottery there that I still use regularly. Some of those old tool vendors had great stuff. I have a claw hammer from the 20's that looks brand new that I bought there. Think I paid 12 bucks for it.The Displaced Louisiana Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746778682819211996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-26563517842074701342014-01-28T15:27:19.303-05:002014-01-28T15:27:19.303-05:00What Ruger?
