Visit my store for more antique and vintage tools and tool parts. My items are carefully packaged and shipped out on the same day payment is received, as long as payment is received by 3 pm Central Time (subject to post office hours, holidays, weekends, etc.)
When applicable, I try to grade the condition of every tool and part objectively using John Walter's grading system from his "Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools" price guide as described below. This is not necessarily an industry standard for grading, and grading vocabulary will vary from collector to collector since there is some subjectivity involved (i.e. "mint" vs. "near mint"). For these reasons, I will also try to list a description of these grades in each listing in order to clarify the grade given to each item. Please refer to the details below and read the "condition" portion of this listing for the condition grading assigned to this item.
