Very cool. There is this shop in Livonia or somewhere near it that sells all foreign tools. It's really cool. There was another place in Royal Oak on the backside of American Woodworker called Leightung (sp?) that sold a lot of unusual-branded tools. My Dad was weird with the tool brands he collected.1979 XS1100F

Crazy, what a cool site!!! Places like that I could just read everything in sight. Thanks. When I lived in Kalifornia, there was a small shop on Redondo Beach Blvd. that sold used machine tools and other bits and pieces. It was a wonderful place to browse for a while when starting a new metal working project, like when I made a homemade lathe.
