Had a good day today at the flea, adding a couple items to my MVMTS, and adding a potential improvement.
- Stevens-Walden 1/4" dr. socket (partial) set
- Kearny & Foot three-square 8" file
- Kearny & Foot half-round 6" file
- Simonds Red Tail points file, which will go in the Stevens kit
- 1939 Blue Point XD-1214 (or -1241?) 3/8" x 7/16" LDBE
- Indestro female hex ratchet (no plug...).

Today seemed to be Indestro day at the flea, it was all over the place. I knew to avoid the Indestro Select, but just couldn't pass up the hex ratchet.
Any suggestions on how to stabilize the Stevens box, w/o removing more of the green paint? I wiped it down with WD-40, but I think it'll need something more. I'm still working through Don's 1/4" drive thread, trying to sort out which of my sockets are correct, and what condition they're in. All seem to be black, but I'm not sure if that's a finish or combo of rust and dirt. Wiped down with WD, but am not sure yet what I'm dealing with. Some have hashmarks around the circumference and Walden-Worchester, and others have graved lines and WALDEN. Like I said, still sorting. Will need to get the spinner handle, breaker, t-handle, ratchet, 2" & 6" extensions, as well as all 12 point sockets. In the meantime, I have a Husky breaker bar (thanks, Don!) which will be a good stand-in.
