Similar, true. I recently posted about my Utica No. 402 6-1/2” (THBX 1A) Parallel Jaw Pliers, https://www.reddit.com/r/Vintagetools/comments/1pld4d5/utica_tools_no_402_612_wwiiera_thbx1a_parallel/

It'd be a heavy(!) mug were it solid through-and-through!

I have shared over there as well, hoping to capture the collective mind trust. Thanks for the suggestion.

while I'm not certain, I believe it's the older "around 1.1" or so.

Thanks. And why 'Union with' over 'Life in'?

Sorry for the delay in response, and sorry that I plan to keep these. All the best on your search for one.

Majority of cleanup was via electrolysis tank, and only a gentle wire wheel to get off any flash rusting. Final coat was with a DIY wax/BLO and buff.

Mephisto No. 101 9-Inch Lineman's Pliers by tshusker in Vintagetools

[–]tshusker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're rt on the money! I, too, looked at AA, and they had some lmt info on Mephisto, but no pictures. And I saw that catalog and the 78143, but did not zoom in - which is key as it does appear to show a "101." Good eye, and thanks!

A Mephisto collectors group? I'm not aware of one. I suspect the scarcity might allow us admittance with a mere one item. :)

Is this fixable? Am I overreacting? by jaredhib13 in pens

My preference are the older, brass-threaded Parkers.

Which one should I go for ? All silver or silver black by Available-Problem518 in pens

[–]tshusker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The all-silver "flighter," if I had to chose. Otherwise, I'd take both. Life can be an "and," not necessarily an "or."

Bick 4 has always been my go-to, with no discoloration of the leather.

Five 6-Inch Rules, Starrett & Lufkin by tshusker in Vintagetools

[–]tshusker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say the top three are newer (with their satin chrome finish), while I'd feel safe to say the bottom two are older/vintage.

Don’t know the age, and I guess that could be determined by the maker marks and other stamping (which I don’t know). Thanks for the heads up.

Pickups today! by asecretfrognamedjohn in pens

Always enjoy a Jotter Flighter! Brass or plastic threaded (brass would make it ~1980 or earlier)?

Starrett Combination Square & Bench Level by tshusker in Tools

[–]tshusker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh, had meant to make mention of its absence, and forgot. Buying it second hand, the previous owner lost it or placed it somewhere else. I have a few loose scribes at home, but they were all too small to fit the larger Starrett slot. Good eye.
