"Ames"? "Rinks"? Sears? I worked in a Rinks store, after I got back home in 1972...when one had to wear a shirt and a tie...
The rest of the $5 was these 3 items...

Looks like a great haul. Not familiar with the Shelton. Looks like a good one.

The Shelton No. 9 came along after Stanley took over. Maybe just after 1962? When Stanley did away with the infamous Whale Tail Lateral adjusters
Still has a Factory edge on the iron, BTW...
The owner kept everything oiled up, and ready to go....there wasn't any real rust buckets in the entire sale.
4 tables of tools ......
