Estate Sale Find of the Year Antique Tool Collection From Early 1900's.

You found some good planes. However the eBay sales you are showing are rare planes. The Stanley 605 is a Bedrock plane as you can tell from the horizontal wall. They are rare and get the name from how the frog attaches to the bed. Your planes will fetch around $100 bucks a piece. You can date them by the blade and lever cap.

The #45 will sell with those cutters for around $160, the Miller falls combo plane you comped it to is an extremely rare one.

You made a good buy, the 45 and the 2 Sargent's will cover your cost by themselves. A Stanley plane with the decal add to the value. You have to know what you have before doing comps on ebay. There are websites for identifying Stanley and Sargent planes.

Great find! Keep us posted on how you do reselling that lot.

The wooden tong looking thing is called a "preacher" if I am not mistaken...not sure why the name. It would be used for hanging siding on a house.

You have just a magical chest) I love old tools! )

Reminds me so much of my dad's tool boxes. I can only pick up his big metal toolbox one end at a time!

Would love to know the dimensions of the chest, would love to make one like it

I inherited my Dads workshop. I can only use so many tools right? Lathes, drill press, routers, you name it. I’m sitting here with 8 tool boxes, one 4 foot long. And then, 4 hole made tool boxes kind is like yours that say “4th generation of tools”. Wonder were to start. eBay? And you said not to clean up? I started cleaning and waxing to get some rust off. But I just started. To me they are grossly dirty! LOL I’m excited finding your site.I feel like I’m opening up you box with you. I did take the planer apart because I was using it. I can’t find the screw! Ugh. I dropped it and just can’t find it!

I'll pay you 350, just kidding. That's a great find,congratulations.

Selling this time capsule piece by piece is a blasphemy. the craftsman even engineered the toolchest to fit all them specifically.

The cone shape is a reaming tool. The hatchet is a shingling hammer/hatchet. The tool box probably belonged to a ship wright. Those disks with the different size holes, are inserts for a router to follow templates.

Several years ago, I found two large tool chests at a yard sale $500 bucks for both of them. One belonged to a pattern maker and the other belonged to a furniture maker/joiner. I've still got a lot of the tools, but my wife sold quite a few on eBay back then. Made over $2,000 bucks.

You can get a complete Stanley #45 plane, complete for less than $300 bucks. It's definitely not a Miller's patent, which obviously goes for a lot more if everything is there.

Those small tools may be salesman samples.

A life in a box,crying shame to break this up .

I don't know if you get more for your tools in the usa but the UK you would make about £600

hello rusty i bought a box as well and there was so many things that don’t know the names of them

Also could be an Old Ship Carpenter tool box

5s are the most common and affordable. The smaller, the more valuable. A #1 will bring $1500 and #2 about $8-900

Bought a 45 planer and more today at a yard sale for 10 dollar's didn't even know it was in the box. Found your video while doing research on value. Awesome!

That a back saw for cutting miters , I think you well got your money worth , that was a roofing hatchet. Those big needles I believe are sail needles for reparing ship sails . The small planes are called block planes. And the drills are called braces and bits. Those are called ager bits Black smith tongs the long pliers. That adjustable bit is a hole bore.

You have a Ship wrights Carpenter tool box and those are felting needles for repairing Sails on a ship. You Should have sold everything together as a lot, much more VALUE!

Loved the tool video!

SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT AS A SET. DISAPPOINTING THE SET WAS BROKEN UP.

4 or 5k!? LOL! You do this for a living!?

Great tools for building a barn.

You need to do a lot more research before you go putting big money down on old tools. For example, the no. 5 you got is much newer than the one you quoted on ebay. A type one means it was the first iteration of a no. 5. Highly collectable. Yours is about 70 years newer. A good tool when cleaned up and set up properly, but worth about $25. You have great enthusiasm, but know what your buying before you bid that high again.

Great information! Thanks guys!

I'll try to recap some of the tools in the video that you weren't sure of:
The pointed ended saw is a "keyhole saw"
The auger bit with the ruler on it is an adjustable auger bit. They were more of a novelty than a usable tool.
The last Stanley black plane looking item was actually a cap for a block plane. On its own its useless.
The bits are called auger bit
The first "drill" is called a brace
The small drill is an "eggbeater drill"
Some of the items you thought might be irons of some sort were a mix of irons and at least one depth stop for the Stanley 45
The planes, in order of length were block planes, Stanley or copy of a Stanley 4, 2 Stanley 5s, A Stanley style 6 and 7.
The axe/hatchet is used for shingles and shakes
The plyers you mention towards the end are actually blacksmithing tongs

Great video, just a note, if you want to remove rust and make sure that you don't remove any iron only iron oxide (rust) use Evaporust, items can be left in there any length of time and only the rust will be removed. If you leave high carbon steels in the evaporust for an extended time you may see a black residue, this is the carbon that is left behind after the surface rust is removed and it can be removed with a little elbow grease.

😂😂😂😂😂

He probably was a carpenter making furniture.

Did you happen to take any pictures of the inside of the box without tools those plane holders are neat

You are not a real woodworker are you? I think you got it just to sell. To bad.

Update: We have sold approximately 75% of the tools in this box, but the box itself and some of them are still for sale!
