At little flat lay from today rummage.

The pleasure of holding something that just breathes quality and decades, centuries even of life. 😍
It fills me with joy.

Mystery tool??

Context … in a box full of tools with Reamers / brace bits

I’d love some help please 😬

Now cleaned up.
The beauty in the smallest of things 😍

Nice little paint scraper.

1mm to 5mm carpenters Rasp / File.

It was in a sorry state when I found it. I thought changing the handle to black which makes the brass pop out nicely.
Now… I’ve not come across one like this, so if you think it’s used for something else please don’t hesitate in letting me know. 🙏

It’s tapered but wider than a saw (pad saw) I’m thinking perfect for tidying up after a cut.

Anyhow.. I’m open to your thoughts!

Taps and dies found in an Old Golden Virginia Tin. Why wouldn’t you?
I really need to do something with all the old joiners boxes too.

Nice little 25mm / 1” G clamp made in England.

Another one heading off to Germany 🇩🇪🔨

This lovely early 20th-century R. Kelly & Sons “KELSON” chisel, Liverpool, has now been sold and is heading to a new home in Germany.

Another piece of British tool history finding a new life across the water. 🇬🇧➡️🇩🇪

And as it happens, someone else is making the journey from Germany tomorrow… my son’s German Girlfriend! 🤣

Small world!

Two vintage adjustable spanners that I’ve found over the last few weeks. I was beginning to think they’d all disappeared. As I live in the north of England it’s got me thinking are less or more abundant everywhere else? Answers on a postcard.. ? ?
