Beginners Guide to collecting tools
There has never been a better time than now to start a collection of antique tools. It’s a fun and very rewarding pursuit that has engrossed lots of tool collectors for many years.
Knowledge is key and the more one understands the subject the more fruitful collecting old tools become. It’s an interest that gets you out, gets you researching toolmakers and their history, and talking to others who have a common interest.
There are other factors such as learning about the processes, methods, and materials used whilst gaining a better understanding of what and who was involved. In many cases, there are connections with a family history or the skills learned from others.
We do not profess to know everything about antique tools and will happily admit there are specialists collectors in certain areas of this vast subject who we have much to learn from. Our knowledge is better than most over a broad spectrum but we are continually working on learning new things. Henry Ford once said “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young!”
“It’s good then that the subject of Antique tools seems endless!”
Old tool refurbishment
Many of the old tools sold here will have had nothing more than a quick wipe over with a cloth or dust with a brush if needed. Tools that come from collections are not altered and will be inspected thoroughly before being described. The images will be very clear for all buyers to examine the parts and will have a clear description to help with making informed decisions when buying.
