>>I just stumbled across some saw sharpening equipment.
>>
>>About 20 yrs ago...the old timer who ran the local saw sharpening
>>place died in his sleep. He was survived by some distant relatives who
>>didnt bother to clean out his tiny shop. The door was literally nailed
>>shut and the place ignored for all this time. Ive lived 5 blocks away
>>since 1983..and the place was always shuttered closed.
>>
>>Last week, it and another ajoining property were auctioned off and the
>>new owners are going to bulldoze it flat, so they opened the place
>>up..and found it dry, intact and even pretty much dust free. The guys
>>lunch from the day of his death was still on the work bench.
>>
>>They called the scrappers and hauled most of it off, but I happened to
>>be in the area, and in curiosity..stopped in. I managed to rescue two >>sharpening tools
>>
>>Acme Circular Saw sharpener.. and an Acme Automatic filing machine.
>>Neither are rusty, both look like they came right out of a clean
>>working shop with little obvious wear or tear, paint is still perfect >>etc. >>
>>$100 takes both, else Ill let the scrappers haul em off, in a
>>reasonable amount of time.
>>
>>Located in Taft, California, near Bakersfield.
>>
>>Please forward this on to any woodworking or tools groups that might >>be appropriate.

>>If there is no market..so be it. Least I tried to rescue em.
