Nice. Yes. They tried to put us on metric about the early 70s, but we weren't ready. When they had the Olympics in Atlanta Georgia that State put up Kilometer markers on the major highways, but removed them after. European steel is good. I have been searching for Dad's knife. Had it, but it disappeared. Old tools are cool. Thank you Jan.
Good morning Bryce ☕☕☕ And... The vehicles of the '70s had both on the speedometer.. some tape measures too.. really messes with you when you read the wrong side!! Around here with all the people from south of the border, driving gets interesting, I figured it out a few years ago. They see the speed limit sign, then read the km side of the speedometer. UHG..
@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin 30 years ago I ran most of Canada. When we saw a truck from the States pulled over we figured he had mistaken kph for mph. Good morning Ed.
Nice little collection my friend. Great that you still kept that first level, that's always nice to see. Shows that you value your things. Very useful to still have the imperial tape aswell as the metric, just as it's necessary to have metric and imperial spanners etc. Looking forward to seeing what you dig out next time!
Thanks Brendan, I remember in Grade 1 and two we used inch rulers in school, and work with pints of water etc, Lucky I was still young and could adept easy to metric👍
Nice collection. First thing I noticed was the left and right hand tape measures. Really not sure that's what they were designed for, but they have the belt clips that would put the tape measure on left or right side of belt with tape hook dacing forward. Just something that I noticed as contractor for 30+ years.
Great old tools and the history is interesting. We have the identical Stanley 6ft rule, we checked to see if it had "Made in USA" on but at the moment it is hiding up and I am not sure where it is

Thank You Bryce, I knew you would like it my friend
If old tools could talk, what a story they could tell. Thanks for sharing these tools with us Jan.
Thank You Lloyd, it will be great to see some of your "start" tools
Good morning Jan!
You have some very interesting stuff there.
The older I get, the greater my appreciation for the older stuff.
Good morning Gary ☕☕☕
It's always good to appreciate yourself 👍😎
Good morning Gary, thank very much, I love old stuff a lot, the older the better
This items are useful for everyday's work. You never can have too many roll-off measuring tapes.
It's so true my friend, I keep one in the house, one on my bench and the other two in tool boxes
I agree with you 100%.

That is a very interesting observation about the belt hooks, I did not picked that up

Very interesting old tape measures. I never saw one that was marked in metric measures. We don't have them here.
Hi Charlie, that is interesting, if we have still an inch one we hold on to it, we can not buy one anymore
Jan I love looking at old tools.

Very nice, you take good care of your tools, unfortunately I beat the snot out of my tools and only the toughest ones last past a year or two.
Oh no Rick, I think your trains run over them lol
Rick you are very funny.
