About Us

AFTER MOVING TO THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IN 1991 I HAPPENED TO VISIT AN AUCTION THAT HAD A NUMBER OF VINTAGE TOOLS.  HAVING NO KNOWLEDGE OF THESE TOOLS I STARTED GATHERING INFORMATION AND TOOLS.  I HAVE BEEN DOING SO EVER SINCE.   SOMEDAY I MAY GET TO THE END BUT WHO KNOWS.

IN THE LATE 1990’S I FOUND EBAY AND VENTURED INTO A BUYING AND SELLING PERIOD.  THE QUEST FOR KNOWLEDGE HAS CONTINUED AND UPON RETIRING IN 2005, FROM A LIFETIME IN THE ENGINEERING WORLD,  I DECIDED TO START A WEBSITE TO SELL WHAT I NO LONGER WANTED TO KEEP AND CONTINUED TO PURCHASE OTHER TOOLS DEPENDING ON MY WHIM OF THE YEAR.
I NOW COLLECT THE UNUSUAL AND STANLEY IN THE BOX WHEN POSSIBLE, AND ATTEMPT TO KEEP ITEMS ON THE WEBSITE THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO USERS, COLLECTORS, AND WHATEVERS’.
