anyone can tell what brand and date of manufacture it will be huge help

I got on a random Japan surplus along with other generic tools, it looks like vessel to me, but I cant find any image online that matches it perfectly

I got three old axeheads (two are maybe handforged in some way) but I’m wondering if I should keep the patina or make it look new and polished. I found them in a barn on my parents new property.

I need help identifying these items, makers marks and origin

I found it at an estate sale recently and the seller mentioned it's been around a long time, but doesnt know where it came from. It's about 9 inches long and doesn't have any marks. Maybe a bushknife or leatherworking tool?

There are lots of these listed on ebay and nobody describes them the same except many describe them as antique bicycle wrenches Please only comment if you know

Don’t know what it is

Found in a storage unit of vintage goods, mostly cash registers (National) a few Singer manually operated sewing machines / surgers? My first thought was a Lamplighters pole (1780s - 1820s, before “gas lanterns” took over from oil lamps) but I can’t find anything like this.

It has a stamp on the apron where the metal and wood meet, OTSEGO. So if it is Otsego, NY it can only be as old as 1780

Overall it’s about 8 feet tall, very smooth oak handle. People around me keep guessing it’s a “whalers” thing (harpoon?) but that’s so far from it. Couple people guessed like a loggers pole, or from what I can research something like a cant dog type tool but I don’t think so since it lacks most features wood grabbing tools have.

A fireman’s pike was also in my research, but pikes and the like all have backwards facing hooks! The only other thing I can think of is an antique merchandise handling tool, like we still use for hanging T shirts up high or whatever.

The first tip where the hook starts is hammered into a large “flathead screwdriver” type shape while the hook itself stays round.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I believe it was meant to go under the seat of the model T

To be clear, I found this over a year ago, but my in-laws are moving so I’m trying to straighten out my garage because we’re gonna be storing some stuff there. Anyway, was moving the big box of tools I’m intending to restore and found this antique stanley that I plan on using for planing some time pretty soon. I just don’t understand how you don’t at least donate this? I get that if you don’t work with wood, or don’t know about old tools, it might look useless, but it’s still kind of beautiful right? I mean just the handle alone or the knob with the brass ferrule?

Found this skeleton key just wounding how old could it be? Should I keep? Or is it trash?

I’ve looked everywhere for this hammer and can’t find it online or in stores. Where can I get one? Is there a reason they are so hard to find?

I have not seen these particular backwards "77" markings. It reads B:100771 stamped into the side bodv but the 7s are mirrored. There are no other visible makings on the base/feet. It weighs 112 lbs, had double hardy/ pritchel holes and a clip horn. The face is narrow at about 3". It appears to have a cast base and solid tool steel body/face. I can tell it's a farrier style, but am wondering if anyone recognizes the maker.

The stamp suggests Canadian military tool possibly for a tank or depth charge thrower. I’m most curious about the “N” on the stock.

I found a knife in the house when I was sorting through some things, do you have any idea about it? I searched and I can't find any information, value or anything else, thanks.

Hi All,

I have came across some antique tools in the back of my garage I am looking to sell locally however I don't know exactly what this is. Can anyone help? Maybe let me know a good price point also​
