Antique & Collectible Stanley Tools: Guide to Identity & Value

Rating:
Summary: Informative, Interesting, Exhaustive
Review: The sine-qui-non of tool collecting references. If you can't find it in Walters book chances are you won't find it anywhere. Okay you have a #3 plane but what type of #3 plane? The differences can be subtle but important (like a fine wine). Any serious tool collector or curious tool user will enjoy this book.
