I haven't been to a garage sale in 20 years, but I just bought some shit at one.
I remember now why I don't go to these things. I feel like a goddamned vulture. But hey.
If your old man kept machinery or tools, even just hand tools, at least google the manufacturers name. Find out what things are. Don't just throw it all out on the lawn for clueless neighborhood dickheads like me. Your pop probably bought it and kept it for a reason.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Well....what'd you get?

Yea,I am kinda lost on this one too. Is there supposed to be a YouTube vid or something?

My grandmother pawned my grandfather's M1Garand and 1911 he brought from home the Pacific Campaign in WW2. She waited till he got sick to it so he couldnt stop her.
He carried these weapons into battle in Okinawa and instead of being in the hands of the family to be honored...they belong to someone else.

Clearly, Tapeworm speaks of the Swarovski-studded screwdriver. It retails for over $500 and is a nice hand tool.

Were US soldiers allowed to keep their weapons after WW2? Did they have to buy them or were they gifts from Uncle Sam?

Technically, no. the last US soldiers allowed to buy their service weapons were in WWI. But lots just carried their weapons home in their personal gear, and never returned them. No one really cared, and most things were surplused out after the war.
Things got harder after Korea, and were monitored and became a really punishable offense during Vietnam.

Items were misplaced or lost a lot. ;). It was a big war and things happen.
