Old Tools Rescue at the Flea Market

    Finding nice old tools at the Flea Mrket has become one of my Sunday morning habits. So, every sunny Sunday I take the quest of  finding old treasures between mountains of crap. Indeed, I’m feeling myself like a treasure hunter on the pirates island!

   Here’s what I found in my last three or four trips:

All these tools are crying for some restoration/maintenance work (except the ECE plane which looks like new)!
Can I ignore them?! 
Stay tuned, will be continued!

    • Cristina,
      I got most of the old tools from the local flea market (“Flavia” market in Timisoara). Other tools are from http://www.ebay.co.uk . The shipping costs by AirMai- Small packets are pretty reasonable!
