Searching Mississippi's Antique shops found a yankee drill

My wife and I love going across our state and looking for antiques. I have gotten so caught up in it I have started a face book page called Mississippi Antique Enthusiast. I have filled most of the basic and easy to find tools on my list. Now I am down to the rare or neat stuff. Today at Beckys Antiques in Louisville MS

The store had taken over a few old stores and knocked out holes in the walls to get through. One of the old stores was a laundry that was belt driven. This was still on the ceiling.

I am looking for old mortice chisels and they are hard to find. I have found none in any store. I can on ebay but they go way to high in price. So a day ago a few of us lj's got together and KTMM had a pair he want to get rid of I gladly helped him.

You are so lucky to find old tools where you live Dave. About the only thing you can find where I live in Norway is old rusted wooden bodied hand planes that had been used on the farms. Most of them look home made. The past is rapidly disappearing so it's good that you and others are trying to preserve these important symbols of our past. The Nation was after all built with tools and a lot of hard work.

Mike I hear it is better on other parts of the country. Like up the east coast. Sounds like an excuse for a vacation. I am also fixing to start smithing. I think I may have found a 500lb anvil. Most of the ones I find are in bad shape and they still ask about $2.00 a pound for them. I guess people over there just dont let go of old tools. Somebody has them, they have to be somewhere. Or are the folks around you the type that will use something until it is wore all the way out.

Hey Dave - cool finds…you mentioned in a previous post about wanting to find all the molding planes to eliminate your router…..is that correct?

Yes Jeff. I have been collecting one at a time. I have 3 rabbits, 2 quarter rounds, and one dado. They are hard to find that are not warped or checked. And you wouldn't believe what some folks want for planes without irons. If you hunt long and hard you will find the gem. The Yankee drill was $15.00. The replacement bits for the Stanley on eBay are fetching $100.00. There is anther company making the drill now and a full set of bits will run you about $25.00. Thats not to bad.

Maybe I just pack them all up and let you look them over? Might be easier than photos?

Wow, great deal Dave. Looks like Chrstmas 2013 came real early for you, unless it's close to your birthday.
Enjoy your sweet purchase.
