I try not to post too many of these old tools. I was particularly taken by these two tools. They are from Jim Bode Antique Tools. I'm on his mailing list and he sends me pictures of tools each day. I look forward to the emails daily. I'm not connected with him in any way, not trying to advertise for him. Just giving him credit for the photos.
This vice is 18th century and a beauty. Such beautiful shapes. The block plane I thought was nice, with the violin peg finial. Pretty sweet. It's probably late 19th or early 20th century.
Anyway just something nice to look at.
