What makes the tools unique, and collectible, is the way function has dictated form, resulting in not only ingenious shapes, but artistic ones. In the 19th and early 20th centuries garden tool catalogues listed hundreds of task-specific tools including dibbers, mattocks, potato hoes, onion hoes, daisy grubbers, claws, weeders, forcers, straighteners, garden row markers, garden reels, rakes, watering cans, water tanks, lawn mowers, lawn rollers, weed whackers, and many more. This book looks back at two hundred years of garden history, and attempts to identify the tools and accessories that gardeners used, and as much as possible identify their specific functions. With over 750 colour photographs, concise captions, and a guide to prices in today's antique marketplace, this is a useful as well as beautiful exploration of garden implements. |

| antique tools price guide: Vintage Stanley Tools Hans Brunner, 2017-05-21 A beginners guide for identification and valuation of vintage Stanley tools. This guide is based on the Stanley Catalogue No 120 from 1923. We chose it because it was the first major catalogue of the combined Stanley Works. It was tempting to reproduce the catalogue without additions but that has been done before. We decided to reduce the size of the original line art pictures in favor of color illustrations, values and additional product information. The result therefore isn't a true re-print of the original catalogue but rather an enhanced reproduction that will assist budding Stanley collectors with identification and valuation of Stanley tools. We did not set out to compile a complete list of Stanley tools but rather give you a snapshot of the Stanley range available at the time the Sweetheart catalogues were issued. |
