re: tool collecting

Walked through a large antique shop today about an hour outside of London, in a place called Stow-on-the-Wold. Nothing extraordinary, as tools go, but there were some ok looking Marples chisels. One Stanley Record #4 that wasn’t in bad shape, but a quick search dates it only into the 1950s. Certainly not worth lugging on an airplane to home. There was a nice #3 Record vise…but that certainly wasn’t carry on!!
