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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 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.
Thanks Max. I was hoping to sell as an entire lot which is why I had the prices so high. But, I actually just sold the 45 and cutters for $400. They didn't even make an offer, they just bought it. So... I have all my investment back and can start to price things more accurately. In the beginning, i like to price high and let people make offers. Now that I have all my money back, i don't need to be in a hurry because everything that sells now is just profit. I know what the proper comps are, but pricing high allows people to make offers and feel as though they got a "deal." Many people have told me I won't make much off of these, but i've already started getting into profit on a single sold item. I'd say that is still a pretty great deal overall, wouldn't you?
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!
What an awesome thing To inherit! eBay can work if you want or you can also place Ads for local sales like Facebook marketplace and the like but do your research on EBay first so you have an idea of the value, otherwise people will send you low low offers and you won’t know if it’s a bad offer or not. Planers, old ones, will sell for more if already restored, but the amount of time and work on fixing old tools isn’t worth enough money to warrant the time I would need to spend, but that’s just for me. Good luck with them!
I'd recommend trying to find out exactly what you've got before you try to sell it. For hand planes, you want to look up something like "Stanley No. 5 type study" to find out what it is - some of these tools they ended up making them for over a hundred years. One from the 1980s is going to be worth a lot less than one from the 1880s. And you've really got to get the models right, too. Like in the video they showed some ebay listing for a $1500 Miller's patent #42 (from the late 1800s, very rare, and considered one of the most desirable planes to collect because it's so beautiful), but they have a #45 - which was produced for *at least* 80 years. There's some Facebook groups that help people identify antique tools, too, if you don't even know what the thing is.
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.
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.
I hear you. Thanks for the encouragement. Just sold the 45 for $400, so that covers the entire lot and now everything else will be profit. I was waiting to reduce my high prices to see if the whole lot would sell first. Now that my money is back I will cut the prices down, but I don't need to be in any hurry either..
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!
I hear you……but….it was available for sale intact for quite awhile but didn’t sell. I do this to make money…to make a living in fact. So, when we see opportunities, we take them. If only museums would buy these from me…
@@RustyTheReseller Yes, it is very sad that some tools are valued unreasonably high by some people that collections like these dont sell. It should be the opposite.
Ha. I do. I have done over $2500 on that lot so far, some hasn't sold....yet. The average buyer won't buy this at that price, agreed. However,...finding the right buyer...a collector, is key!
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.
I've found that if you join some collectible tools groups on facebook and post pictures of what you can't identify, that almost always someone will know what it is. I have found this method of getting info. incredibly helpful!
Update: We have sold approximately 75% of the tools in this box, but the box itself and some of them are still for sale!
Great tools for building a barn.

That is awesome!
Reminds me so much of my dad's tool boxes. I can only pick up his big metal toolbox one end at a time!
Note for future end-reel recap, don't use that print rug for background. That's my 2 cents.
I hear you, .....that wasn't my first choice, but it is the rug I have, and the box was too heavy to put on a table!

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

Collect your sweepings and drag a magnet over it. Should locate the screw.

*You have just a magical chest) I love old tools! )*
Thanks!
@@RustyTheReseller Good luck my friend ;-)
@@RustyTheReseller ;-)
Also could be an Old Ship Carpenter tool box
I'll pay you 350, just kidding. That's a great find,congratulations.
Did you happen to take any pictures of the inside of the box without tools those plane holders are neat
Great find! Keep us posted on how you do reselling that lot.
Selling this time capsule piece by piece is a blasphemy. the craftsman even engineered the toolchest to fit all them specifically.
I hear you……but….it was available for sale intact for quite awhile but didn’t sell. I do this to make money…to make a living in fact. So, when we see opportunities, we take them. If only museums would buy these from me…
@@RustyTheReseller Yes, it is very sad that some tools are valued unreasonably high by some people that collections like these dont sell. It should be the opposite.
SHOULD HAVE KEPT IT AS A SET. DISAPPOINTING THE SET WAS BROKEN UP.
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
Would love to know the dimensions of the chest, would love to make one like it
He probably was a carpenter making furniture.
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.
Ooh! Great info…thanks Cousin!!
I think it is a blacksmith's tongs. At least all the blacksmiths using them think so and they are usually hand made by the blacksmith.
@@budmartin8297 He did hold up some blacksmithing tongs toward the end of the video, but the wooden device was at around 4:07.
4 or 5k!? LOL! You do this for a living!?
Ha. I do. I have done over $2500 on that lot so far, some hasn't sold....yet. The average buyer won't buy this at that price, agreed. However,...finding the right buyer...a collector, is key!

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

Those small tools may be salesman samples.
You are not a real woodworker are you? I think you got it just to sell. To bad.
