Hi All-

I just rescued a lot of old watch making tools and supplies.  I don't know how old they are, but I'm guessing pre 1960 based on some box dates I found.  My mom was friends with an old guy that passed away.  His children had a garage sale and sold a lot of his stuff.  For some reason no one touched his watch making desk and tools.  They were going to throw it away, but my mom asked if I wanted it.  YES!!!

I don't have an interest in watchmaking, but I do have huge respect for the types of trades that are slowing leaving us as these craftsman pass away.  I also love old tools in general.  I'd like to post up pictures here to get an understanding of what some of these tools are.  Sadly, I have no room for his old desk, and my mom will be selling it.  

Now I just need to take some pictures, and find the correct subforum to post them in.  If this is not something anyone would like to see, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Chris
