Lot 402: A Bosch Corded Electric Jigsaw and a Trio of G-Clamps
A workshop lot consisting of one handheld corded electric jigsaw and three metal C-style or G-clamps. The jigsaw features a molded green plastic housing with a black metal base plate and a black rubber-insulated power cord. A red and white logo on the handle reads BOSCH. A black identification plate on the side of the housing is printed with the number 0 601 230 442. Below this, a graphic chart lists various materials and maximum cutting capacities, including wood at 60, 30, and 20, and metal at 5 and 3, alongside compatible blade types T 144 D, T 101 B, T 119 B, and T 118 A. A small orange adhesive sticker on the handle reads 407. The three clamps comprise two larger blue-painted cast iron frames and one smaller red-painted cast iron frame. Each clamp is constructed with a steel threaded screw, a tommy-bar handle, and a swivel pad. The blue frames feature embossed lettering, though the specific manufacturer name is not legible due to wear.
Condition report:
The jigsaw shows signs of frequent use with surface scuffs, dirt, and minor scratches across the plastic housing (photo 1). The metal base plate and blade holder exhibit surface oxidation and rust (photo 1). No blade is present. The electrical cord is intact but shows surface dust; the mechanical and electrical functionality is untested. The three clamps show significant signs of age and heavy use. All three frames have chipped and worn paint finishes with underlying oxidation (photo 1). The threaded screws, tommy-bar handles, and swivel pads are heavily corroded with surface rust (photo 1). The mechanical action of the screws is stiff, and they have not been tested for full range of motion.
