The market for antique tools is growing as many collectors seek a return to when times were simpler. The nostalgia value of old tools is great, but there are many antique tools that are actually quite valuable on their own. Whether you have a specific brand in mind, or you are just fascinated by the way that these tools work, this is a fun collectible and one that is quickly gaining in popularity and value. Here’s a glimpse of the various types of antique tools that are now available.
Old Hand Tools
You might be surprised to find just how many tools were in use before the advent of the power tool. Many of these antique tools are quite inventive and ingenious and they are fascinating to look at. You can find old hand drills, unique saws and many other devices and some of them can still be used to day. Many tools in this category are well used and some might be rusty. Try to find the ones that are in the best condition, but a rare tool will always be valuable, even if it’s not in the best of shape.
Woodworking Tools
Fans of woodworking are always on the lookout for antique tools and you can find many unique tools at auction. The best place to find these tools is at old farm auctions or in some cases, you can find a dispersal of an old carpenter’s tools. Vises, clamps, grips, saws, and old antique wood saws are very popular right now and it is possible to find them still in great condition.
Leatherworking Tools
If you love tooled leather, then collecting these antique tools is a natural. You can find everything from awls, punches, tooling stamps, and cutters for sale. Many old saddle shops will have these on display and you can also find them at auction. Some ranchers will also have a good supply of these tools lying around and you never know what you may come across.
Old Farm Implements
When it comes to odd antique tools, farm implements are the best. Many magazines in farm country run contests to see who can tell what a tool is just by the picture. They come in all shapes and sizes and suited a variety of purposes. From old scythes, to tractor tools and more, this is probably one of the most interesting types of tools you can collect.
General Tools
All other antique tools which did not have a defined purpose can be lumped into this category. From inventive wrenches, to unique screwdrivers, you can find many various types of tools from many decades ago. Flea markets are a great place to look for these tools, and you can also find them at second hand stores, old hardware stores and of course, at auctions.
When you’re collecting antique tools, you’ve got a little piece of the past that can be used to either enhance your personal collection or even get some odd jobs done around the house.
