Hello Watchrepairtalk community, I recently came across a collection of vintage watchmaking tools and would greatly appreciate your help in identifying their worth. These tools appear to be a mix of lathes, collet holders, and other precision instruments used in watchmaking, some of which are marked with the brand. Attached is an image of the tools. If anyone has insights into their specific function, rarity, or approximate value, I would love to hear your thoughts. I’m considering selling or perhaps restoring them, so any guidance on where to get more information or potential buyers would also be very helpful. Thank you in advance for your expertise! Best regards, Stefan

Dear all, I recently had the pleasure of finding a damaged hairspring needing care. My first! It’s an inexpensive orient watch, gaining 20 minutes a day. I am taking Mark’s fault finding course, and have other inexpensive hairsprings to practise with. I also got some vintage tools I’d love to use. Until now for me levellers were only the Oliver Cromwell people, but ebay never ceases to surprise... I could pass the first stages of correcting the coil, with two tweezers. But could not find a use for the vintage tools. Could you help me to figure it out? Picture 1 is the bent hairspring picture 2 and 3 the box of tas levellers picture 4 is the hairspring suffering under my tweezers now picture 5 shows the tip of the tools picture 6: from De Carle. Would this be the purpose of the levellers? The overcoil?
