Old stuff too good to throw out

[Dan ReaveyParticipant @danreavey17846]

Hi

I’ve got loads of old tools and fasteners that I’ve inherited but don’t really need.

Just a couple of examples here.

Thousands of rivets and an old spirit level by W Marples & Sons, Sheffield, Eng.

Also has ‘Warranted correct’ engraved on it.

Also have numerous tins like the one for the rivets. Label reads:

18 CAPSULES

35 CC’s. MARK 1

Any ideas what they are or from would be appreciated. The owner used to work in the RAF and was an engineer.

Aircraft are routinely riveted, even modern ones. That sample look like my Grandfather's and he made flying boats in WW2. I am sure you have the floor sweepings of some complex job or three.

I expect the capsules legend is unrelated, it looks like a useful tin to store stuff in.

Thanks for the reply
