re: tool collecting

That shop in London reminds me of Hershberger's Farm & Bakery in Millersburg, OH.  They have a little of everything and specifically a couple "rooms" dedicated to old cast iron cookware and old tools.  The tools used to be a real bargain and they had everything from 300# anvils, all kinds of timberframing tools and more clamps than you can imagine.  I was last there probably 4-5 years ago and they apparently discovered the internet.  The year prior I bought a nice slick for $20, this time they had several in worse shape for ~$120 each.  Some of the bins were littered with harbor freight tools that had lived a rough life, really disappointing, as was the anvils formerly at $1/lb now at $4/lb.  I didn't make the trek to Millersburg as I have in the past during a recent OH trip to visit family but I did manage to find eight vintage power tools, five of which are circular saws now bringing my total up to 66.
