Here, at last, is a price guide for the 21st century! It stands out as the only price guide for tools to factor in prices realized from tool sales on the Internet. The prices in this third edition (a total of over 12,000 individual and chart combinations) are averaged from recent live and electronic auctions, as well as from the author's knowledge of general market trends. The prices cover tools from top-of-the-line treasures to common flea market pieces. They demonstrate that tool collecting is reaching its maturity, where condition, signature, and provenance reign supreme and top condition and/or rare pieces bring increasingly higher prices. The prices cover tools that are available in the marketplace, with explanations for each tool group to help the reader classify that most critical of all factors, condition. The chapter on American wooden planes is at the same time simple and comprehensive, covering over 400 makers, each graded with a single value number. New to this edition is a section on Internet auctions, where the author explains the mechanisms of electronic auctions and shares some of his secrets for successful bidding. In this edition you will find illustrations of approximately 1000 different woodworking tools; easy-to-find current prices - a total of 12,000 individual and chart combinations; chapters on buying antique tools, tool wood identification, clubs and organizations to join, reference books; and a complete index for easy use.
