Tony Murland kindly sent me a catalogue for the latest international sale in Felixstowe. I’ve never seen the proper catalogue, but have heard very good things about Tony’s sales. The tools in the catalogue seemed to me not just of a better quality than a lot of other specialist auction houses, but the variety was
so much better. I set the satnav for the sale in Felixstowe and had a thoroughly good day out.
I was delighted to finally meet Gary from OldSchoolTools, who had one of the, ok, in my mind, THE best dealer table of the day. Just take a look at the spread below. No, you are not dreaming, all the tools were there today and some will be there tomorrow for the second day. (He sold a lot today, so be quick if you see anything you’ve been promising yourself!) It was generally acknowledged that Gary has a good eye and a quality collection. Nice one, Gaz.

Norris Scraper Plane??
On eBay right now. Doesn’t seem right and I find no reference anywhere to a scraper plane having been produced. Not for me to say, but if you’re going to invent something, maybe invent something that’s never been seen!

Tools for sale
I’ve instructed the eBay minions to sell a few tools for me, so check out the For Sale page and watch any items you’re interested in. Some nice bits on there, including this super ‘Ward’ paring chisel. More soon.
