I just got a postcard from the Fine Tool Journal announcing the:
31st Tool Sale and International Antique Tool Auction
being held at the
Sheraton Four Points (717 561-2800)
in Harrisburg PA on
October 26th and 27th 2007.
I've never attended this gathering and was wondering if it was worth it. I'm not in the market for a $5000 hand plane. I just want to browse and see if there is anything in my price range. Can you buy a nice user Bedrock there?
Do manufacturers of new hand planes show up here and sell their wares? Or is it just all collectibles?
I guess I'm expecting a hand tool show, rather than an auction.
Who has attended this show and what were your impressions?
Thanks,
