Help needed identifying old woodworking tools......please!

My hubby inherited some old woodworking tools and told me to list them on fleabay Now, he is used to more modern tools & I'm a girl so I'd appreciate some help identifying what we have before I list it.

Now this one (obviously) is an old plane. But does anyone have any idea of age, etc?


I remember this type of drill, my dad had one, but doesnt it have a special name??

 

this is a metal plane, it says "THE BOSTON"

 

hand saws

Ever ready lamp

 

hubby says measuring tools?


and finally these............

 

I just know that as a hand drill

 

Yup, mainly. Square on the right. Top and left are definitely measuring tools .. the top one should have a nail in the end, it's used for scoring a line along a parallel edge.



Left is a drill bit holder.

Second from right is a crude hand drill ... run the middle bit up and down the length of the drill to make it turn.

 

Thanks Woo & Len.

 

I'll have a go From the top
Jack plane
Brace Drill
Smoothing plane ( could have other names )
Small cross saw
Tenon saw
Scribing / marking block
Caliper and square not sure on the others
Bottom picture is a yankee type drill end

 

First one appears to be a wooden jack plane without iron.
Second one a brace sometimes called a swing brace.
Third, the "Boston", a block plane.
Fourth, Top one, not a saw I'm familiar with, bottom small tenon saw.
After the lamp, there is a marking gauge, small square, and dividers, and couple of torture implements.

Then we have a shave hook on the right,and drilling implement next to that.

Not sure on the far left item but have an idea the two central items might have something to do with rug making.

 

Most still used to day, started going out of fashion for newer easier stuff 1965 ish
All above answers correct and all can be had at boot sales for about a £1 each
(getting rid of Grandads shed now he has cowped it)
I was still selling these new in the 60's
The lamp is a bicycle headlight circa 1958

Sadly other than the metal block plane, they are all only fit for the bin.

The block plane should clean up okay, and whilst it won't make any money on Fleabay, it is a tool that is worth hanging on to if your husband does any kind of woodwork.

 

oooooooo I might keep them, then

 

cheers jack

eddie, thats exactly what the bloke at the auction house told me when hubby wasted my time by telling me to take them in.

 

thanks for the advice guys, theyre going on fleabay today, so we shall see..........
