Hi Tony---

  I haven't told you---not in this century---how much I appreciate your sale-
touring posts, so I'm telling you now: I always get a special warm feeling when
I see an OldTools heading that tells me you're going tool hunting. Never fails
to make my day.

                     thanks a bunch, yr pl gam in OlyWA/USA

 Today was the start of the Spring 2022 Kutztown Antiques Extravaganza
and for me was the first big show of the year.  The weather was clear,
but a little cool to start with, but it warmed up a touch during the
walk around.

We got there later than I had hoped and the line to get it was pretty long.

And kept on going.

There are 2 covered pavilions here.  It's mostly jewelry and higher end
antiques, but once in a while some good stuff shows up there.

It was a beautiful day.

Pickings weren't great, but overall not too bad, I've had worse days
there.  I got a pretty nice Estwing hatchet with the original sheath, a
3" try square, an original CW mainspring vise, a Stanley boxwood
mortising gage, a neat turned steel plumb bob, an early Stanley 9 1/2
block plane, the cap is toast, but the body looks to be good, a cast
iron bed key or wrench, a small archimedian drill, a 1/8" Sandusky side
bead plane, and a 6" combination square, with a Brown & Sharpe rule and
a Starrett head.

On the hammer side of things, I got a blacksmith square hole drift
punch, a small saw setting hammer, a small cross peen hammer head, a
Stortz Philadelphia slate roofer's hammer, and 3 cobblers hammers.

And now it's time for the real work to begin.
