The pipe wrench got further cleaning and restoration to original manufacturer colours. Pretty much anyway. It is now in fine shape, as evidenced by this pic. It is pretty old but seems in good shape modulo the surface rust it had on it when it was found. I am sure we will have a use for a 3 foot pipe wrench at some stage.

Also the calphalon 8qt stock pot came back from its excursion to warranty-return-land and went, via ebay, on a journey to the house of a complete stranger. The 10inch omelet skillet went straight from warranty-return-land to a friend of a friend as a gift.

Upon detailed investigation, the dualit 3-slice toaster had one element dead inside. The thing has quite a history already as an acquaintance had asked me that day, "hey, could you find me a toaster?". I thusly found that toaster but he declined to take it as he was pushed for baggage space etc on his plane trip home. After we played with it and grokked the mechanism we liked it, hence our discovery of the bad element (reason for discard?). Another aspect of this toaster we like very much is that you can get replacement parts for it, hence we did so and voila, we have a "new" toaster. Sure beats buying one.
