This is an online only auction for a large single owner collection of antique and collectible tools. The Forefathers Tool Museum contains the lifetime collection of Mr. David Peoples from Broadway VA. This collection includes many rare and obscure hand tool tools including a large collection of wrenches, farm tools, planes, nail pullers, saws, hammers, cobblers tools, leather working tools, and much more. Mr. Peoples purchased these tools at auctions, stores, and tool shows all over the country. In addition he inherited some of these tools from his father and grandfather - hence the name Forefathers Tool Museum. These tools have been researched, organized, and lovingly cared for.  Now it is time for them to be enjoyed by other people. 

This auction includes almost 2,000 tools selling in 1,100 lots. You will find wrenches of all kinds including monkey wrenches, pipe wrenches, bicycle wrenches, automotive tools and wrenches, adjustable and nut wrenches, implement wrenches, alligator wrenches, buggy wrenches, and combination wrenches. There is also a significant collection of nail pullers, braces, moulding planes, steel planes, levels, hammers, saws, and other carpentry tools. We have farming tools, farriers tools, cobblers tools, coopers tools, blacksmith tools, leatherworking tools, machining tools, kitchen tools, hatchets and axes, along with books and literature. In addition we are selling Mr. People's very well kept 1994 Ford Ranger with less than 100,000 miles.
