Great find Brian !! Good investment,
I like to find deals like that.

now you can work brian

Yeah it is a good investment. But you can see they’re not in great shape. I probably would have passed if it weren’t for the Soss hinges. I love those things and they’re expensive. They’re worth cleaning up.

Which one is the Soss & what do you like about them

Nice find Dude.

Brian,

That’s my kind of deal! I think I paid more than $5 for just one Soss hinge about 30 years ago! There are quite a few other hinges there that look like they’re in pretty good shape and won’t need much (if any) work.

L/W

DANG BEAUTIFUL FIND! I’ll be right over to pick a set of them up! Lol

lucky day for you , I find tools and stuff at yard sales all the time. Good place for a good deal

Jay, here is a picture from the web. They’re completely hidden hinges. You can see a bunch in my picture, of course not as shiny as the one from the web. :-)

Brian, thanks for the picture & info.
I have seen these used in fine furniture over the years, I have never built anything that required them.

I don’t find anything like that around here. If I did, The price would be much higher than what you paid.

Some good stuff in there could be used as is for “antique” look.

Yeah i cant wait for the yard sales to start up

Awesome find, I need to start going to yard sales

me to

Many folks pass by super bargains like this because they don’t know the value of hinges. Super find.

Before I was a woodworker stuff like this was just junk…now it would be a great find. Still waiting to find a pail of old screws at a yard sale….
