    cphilip's early Christmas!

    The wifey scored this all for me. It came today so she gave it to me.

    Its a whole bunch of vintage original Italian factory tools for Vespa's.

    Quite and extensive colllection of, some very rare and unusual specialty tools in this. Came from a collection gathered by a British Motorcyclist collector who died and bequethed his collection to a College that put these up for auction. His collection included many old British bikes and Italian bikes as well as all sorts of memorabilia.

    I seriously doubt there is another more extensive collection... or not very many at least... anywhere. Let alone in the USA. Some of them... I have no idea what they even do!!!!! Going to take me some time to catalog and run them all down in some of the old manuals. Some i can figure out. Again.... not all of them are shown in this picture. There are many more! This might be half of them. This picture was used for the auction. But the boxes when they came contained even more of various sizes. Apparently they put one in the pictures. But had like four sizes of some things they didn't even show.

    Nice eh?


    AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!

          That looks like either a mad scientist's work bench, or the table in an extensive torture chamber. Good god.
