about a year back a friend dropped by and asked me if I wanted these oddball turnings tools which were on the small side all stuck in an ice cream bucket. Since I am not one to really turn things away L had a look at them and figured that the might come in handy one day for something or other. they sat in the bucket out front since. the other day another friend from Ontario dropped by and he sort of kicked the little plastic bucket and looked at them and saw the Holtzapffel name in them and asked me if I knew what I had there. I said some old chisels. there were some Holtzapffel's and the there were H&D tools and the D stood for Deyerlein who was Holtzapffel's partner until he passed away in 1826. so maybe they are more interesting. there were a few others there also which were not theirs.
