This past Labor Day, I took a drive to the antique show in Somers, NY. On the way up, there are always garage sales, and I’ve been getting lucky finding high quality tools. The above picture is of a Stanley 78 plane that I bought for $18. Perfect condition and hardly any scratches. Good ones on EBay fetch about $100. Last year I bought a vintage English Robin Hood bike for my G.F. near High Falls for five dollars that is going for $300 in the neighborhood. If you’re into upstate antiquing, check out Cord Shows.  It has a good link section with dates, papers, and schedules. Also, if you’re into old tools this site is great: Super Tool.
