This past weekend I acquired a large lot of vintage tools from the estate of a gentleman who passed. There was a mish-mosh of various items included. Along with the typical woodworking and machinist tools were a couple of other valuable items that might normally get overlooked.
What's this? A couple clamps?
Wait, Luxo? These are actually mounting clamps for mid century lamps made by Luxo. These lamps have become quite collectible recently and for anyone restoring one of these lamps, these clamps are gold.
Here is an example of a Luxo light. Note the mounting clamp.
In one of the tool boxes were these precision tools. Wait what that black wrench in the middle. Is that an Apple logo?
Indeed, it is an Apple Logo. Anything 80's.... or even 90's Apple Computer related in collectible.
Turns out this is a rare Apple Computers wrench that came with some Apple II computers. (As seen in this stock photo).
