Winchester tools
« on: December 11, 2016, 07:37:27 pm »
I have a Winchester tool collection that my father left me upon his passing, 12/04/2015. I would like to find a buyer for all or some. I have a few pictures. I also have it posted on vintagevarietiesca. com.

I went and looked at your pictures; a nice collection that I'm sure your father spent a lot of time collecting.
I don't believe I've ever seen a Winchester ring compressor. That has to be a rarity. Hope you have good luck with your selling.

VERY cool! I used to guide tours at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose California many years ago. I have a Winchester meat grinder. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company made quite an impressive array of metal items in addition to their guns. Everything from lawn mowers to roller skates.

Nice set!

First, you need to determine authenticity.  This article is a starter

Winchester expanded into tools when the bought Simmons Hardware (Keen Kutter tools).  Both brands are VERY collectible.!
