In this third updated edition, Herb Kean has once again put together a book that does exactly what a price guide should do: It includes a picture of the tool and an easy way to find an estimate of its current value. It also is the only guide for tools to factor in prices realized from tool sales on the internet which cover tools from top-of-the-line treasures to common flea market prices. In compiling this work, Kean has undertaken a great deal of research, including auction results, private sales, dealer offerings and general market trends. New to this edition is a valuable section on internet auctions, as well as sections which cover: buying antique tools, tool wood ID, a huge list of of books on tools, and an extensive chapter covering American wooden planes. For the collector, the dealer or the sometime garage sale visitor, this completely indexed and easy to use price guide is guaranteed to pay its own way many times over.
