    Looking for help with old hand made wood working tools.

    My father has a collection of hand wood working tools dating back I'm guessing 100 years or so. They have been passed down from his Grandfather from Germany. He is trying to see what they are worth and would sell them for a price he likes. He just does not know what that price may be. I'm trying to help him out because he is even less tech savvy than I am, so I can text you pics if you send me a pm. Any help or tips appreciated.

            I see what I think are shoulder planes, shoemaker anvils, a draw knife, hand screws, chisels, woodturning, etc.. Nice old collection, sorry I can't help with the "worth".

              I love old tools - very cool. There are several websites and forums dedicated specifically to this stuff. Try Googling "vintage woodworking tools" or "antique woodworking tools" I'll bet you can find acollector who will give you and idea of the value

                  I have several of the same tools that belonged to my grandfather. If your hoping to get rich with them you will be disappointed. They are nice collector items and conversation pieces though. I see these at flea markets occasionally also. They are anywhere from $2-$25

                    Having some of my Granddad's tools would be priceless.

                    I have my Dad's tool boxes and tools and they speak to me every time I use them. :-)

                      Selling value is much different than keeping it because it's family value.

                        Agreed. I wouldn't sell mine

                          I would buy the draw knife if your wanting to split it up. Maybe some of the clamps too.

                            My dad has bunch of these types of tools as well. Agree with the above posters about the price.
