Friday Finds
Welcome to Friday Finds! Here you can find old tools and clearance items that are pre-owned, surplus stock, things we need to move along, or an occasional antique tool. Enjoy browsing these one-off treasures!
We will be adding a selection of tools each Friday lunchtime for the foreseeable future.
Occassionally we may offer some tools for sale on a commssion sale basis. These tools are not owned by Classic Hand Tools and may not form part of our regular portfolio. We are selling on behalf of a customer (who we charge a commsssion). Usually these tools are sold without the requirement to pay VAT in the UK (unless our client is VAT registered which is unlikely).
For those of you who only ever want to use old tools in their work and have a specific requirement for an old tool - please let us know and we will try and find it for you.
Occasionally we will buy old tools - mainly good usable chisels, some metal planes, gauges etc.
If you are thinning out your tools and wish to sell by commsssion or sell directly to us, please get in contact. Commssion sale items typically have a minimum consignment value of £200. Items of lower value may also be sold but will attract a shipping small additional shipping charge (if sold singularly). Individual tools such as planes or sets of chisels will sell well and because we are selling high quality new hand tools to a wide customer base we tend to attract better prices than the auction route.
For good quality branded hand tools please send in a few pictures for an initial appraisal. Classic Hand Tools can pick up the tools (by courier), evaluate an agreed selling price after detailed inspection, do the photography and accurately list the items for sale to our wide database. Once sold we deal with the shipping of the item.
Please give us a call first to discuss before making the trip to visit us. We may also do house calls when we are in your area.
