News from mjdtools.com World Headquarters
G reetings from Avoca, New York, where we are ready for the ending of our First Wednesday Auction, which will begin ending at 7:01 PM Eastern Time tonight, with two items ending every minute until all 401 Lots are sold. Please follow the links below to enter your bids today.

Today's Photo Montage begins with some of the many great tools that will be sold on February 4, 2026. The second photo shows a scene from our first ever Auction and Antique Tool Fair at the Richard Withington Estate in Hillsborough Upper Village, New Hampshire in July of 2002. We had more than eighty registered dealers and the crowd was, as you can see, very large. The event almost did not happen as the Town Fathers of Hillsborough got hold of some Martin J. Donnelly Advertising and collectively feared they were about to have a "Tool Woodstock" on their hands. They immediately passed a local law prohibiting the holding of "flea markets" in the town. Richard Withington, who was a former mayor, President of the local bank and a major benefactor of the Village and on whose property the event was to be held, had a visit with the Village Board, reminded them of his many contributions and convinced them to withdraw the ban, in return for having a "Tool Fair" in the place of a "Flea Market". The "Tool Fair" eventually found its way to Avoca, New York where, for many years, it was held concurrently with an auction of 3,201 Lots.

If you are not currently registered to bid in our auctions, you can register to bid by clicking HERE.

We have the First Tuesday and First Wednesday Auctions for February fully loaded and bidding is now underway. You can view the auction and enter bids beginning now and continuing until Feebruary 3, 2026 & February 4, 2026. On the last day of the sale, two lots will close and be marked as sold each minute beginning at 7:01 P.M. on each ending day and continuing until all are sold. Bidding will be open on both auctions until bidding closes as the lots begin selling at 7:01 PM on each night of the sale. You can keep bidding until the item is marked as sold. In the event that there is an increase in the bid in the last two minutes before an items sells, it will be extended for two minutes, unless the high bid amount increases again, at which point it will extend for another two minutes.

Today's Featured Tool Description
Laskey, Stephen G./Chelsey, Mass. : Unique Cast Brass Block Plane. Pat. Oct. 21, 1884. Appears Ca. 1880. Length: 6.00 Inches. A mechanically fascinating CAST BRASS BLOCK PLANE having a sliding steel sole that does double duty as a cutting iron. This plane is identical in concept to that shown in U.S. Patent No. 306,763 issued to Stephen G. Laskey of Chelsea, Massachusetts on October 21, 1884. By adjusting the fixing screw behind the frog, the width of the throat opening can be adjusted. A similar feature, exists to adjust the throat by loosening the front knob, exactly as shown in the patent drawing. The degree of detail on the plane indicate that this was a manufactured tool. It is in excellent condition. Other than the owner imprint of "J.A. Garney" there are no marks on the tool. A unique and very well preserved Nineteenth Century block plane. Highly recommended. From the Hunter and Jean Pilkinton Collection. (FINE). This item was sold on April 17, 2010 for $7,250.00. jpg_file

Just Added to the Auctions
jpg_file Lot 385. An example of "IVES PATENT" TINDER BOX as patented and produced by Ira Ives of Bristol, Connecticut. The U.S. Patent for this innovative fire starting assembly was issued to Ives on October 25, 1816. The original document was destroyed in one of the fires that damaged the U.S. Patent Office in the early years of the Nineteenth Century and there was apparently nothing left of this patent to restore. We located a reference to the early patents and it inclued the Ira Ives Patent. This extraordinarily well preserved example is complete with its original stock of flint and tinder. The "fire steel" is the wheel positioned at the end of the tin box. The string provided with the device remains wrapped on the inside. Its purpose was to be coiled around the wheel and then pull on the string while holding the flint against the wheel with the resultant sparks falling on the tinder to start a fire. We have found reference to other examples of this extremely rare early patent device, but none that contain the original contents of the internal storage bins. Simply a great early antique that captures both the inventiveness of the early settlers and the difficulty of their lives in a single object. Highly Recommended. From the Collection of Dan & Phyllis Morse, Jonesboro, Arkansas. (GOOD+).(500.00 - 1,000.00) Length: 5 Inches.
