From A Tool Sale

[NCArcher]

A tad tardy from the tool sale:

Almost a full 1/2 set of "hollers and rounds" by the same maker Gleave of Manchester. 2,4,6,8,10 and 18 pairs The 14 and 16 hollers went to a fiery grave in the previous owners cabinet making shop.

And the art of toolhando provided a very sad looking 7 /16 berg which should cleanup nicely.

And yes i did think to get NCArcher something but couldn't see anything that he didn't already have.

Nice pickups Paul. Thanks for looking. I am hard to buy for Will try to make the next one.

... it is a type13 ,1925/28 made in USA,all original parts, no rust, Flatten back of blade,hone through to diamond paste, it takes a wispy shaving and is a pleasure to use. I would love to know where its been for the last 90 odd years and whose hands its passed through. part of the mystery i guess. I dont think it would suit my mate ...

Yep ... it's like they say on the airplane safety drill regarding oxygen ... you need to sort yourself out first before you can be in a position to help others ...
