269050 tonyseo 2019‑08‑15 Madison Bouckville NY Summer 2019 Antiques Show
I spent Monday and Tuesday up at the Madison Bouckville NY Summer 2019 Antiques
Show.  This runs all week but it's best to get there early. The 3 1/2 hour ride
up and back was the usual fun.  My main PC died 5 minutes after I moved the trip
photos from my phone but I was able to rescue some thumbnail images.  Never a
dull moment, eh?  The vendor count was fairly strong, I saw a few empty spots in
some of the fields but that does happen and some folks do come up for later in
the week.

Monday, the weather was hot and humid.  There was a breeze in spots that made
things bearable.

There was the threat of rain on Tuesday, but it held off while I was there.

Pickings weren't stellar and I worked and walked hard for every last one of
them.  Up top is a nicely done big hand forged turnscrew or screwdriver, next is
a neat burnishing tool with rosewood handles, a pair of smaller blacksmith
tongs, a rosewood cobblers seamer or creasing tool, a hand forged saw wrest, a
wheelwrights traveler, and a pair of C S Osborne leather knives.

This lot includes a cooper's adze, a wood infill try square, a Wm Schollhorn
wing compass, a Stanley No 65 marking gage, a small spokeshave, Stanley No. 71
router plane blade with the patent date, a somewhat uncommon Starrett No 44
double caliper, a small AMT scorp, and the AMT brass reproduction of the Stanley
No 95 edge trimming block plane.

There is a different looking hand forged hammer, a pair of hand forged oyster or
clam shucking knives, a broom maker's hammer, a hand forged tack hammer, a small
Warrington pattern hammer, and a neat looking hand forged cross peen hammer.

depth gage, an Addis carving tool, a couple of brad awls, a neat wooden handle
screwdriver, a leather awl, a small turnscrew, a new tapered reamer bit, a
cabinet makers turnscrew, an assortment of bits, mostly gimlets, with reamer and
spoon bit, a brass founders tool, a brass handled race knife, a diamond tip
glass cutter, a 1865 (if I remember correctly) patent candle wick trimmer, and a
pair of split nut saw turnscrew bits.

Just another couple of days in the life.
