275519 Tony Seo 2022‑04‑29 Spring 2022 Kutztown Antiques Extravaganza
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.

http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2022/kutztownspring04292022f2.JPG

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.

http://oldetoolshop.com/jointer/bffiles/2022/kutztownspring04292022f4.JPG

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.

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

Just to back this up, 

I too appreciate the reports - and photo’s.  Never likely to get there in
person, but I can almost smell the rust and oil from the reporting.


I may have said so in the last century, but you know how fast time flies when
Galoot time time is involved…

Thanks guys.  Even though I'm on the hunt 3 days a week (weather
permitting), it's fun to write up these special events.  The Wife has
gotten somewhat addicted to YouTube videos and keeps saying that I
should do some, but there are a couple of yahoo's who do them at the
flea markets I hit, and well I'm just not into that. Plus she's not
really up on the time that it takes to prepare one of those...

Tony (winding up another 12 hr plus day)

Richard:  If you come to the US, please let me know, and we'll meet up and check
out Tony's environs. If he'll have us, I mean...I'll have to travel several
thousand miles, same as you. It'll be worth it, though...

How horrible it is to have so many people killed!---And what a blessing one
cares for none of them!
