Collecting Vintage Stanley Tools has become a very popular hobby especially for those in the construction and home repairs industry. Production of Stanley tools began in 1843 when Frederick Trent Stanley opened his business in Connecticut. The main tool manufactured was a steel plane with a rosewood handle.
When collecting vintage Stanley tools, it is important to note each tool clearly displayed a patent number. In terms of rareness, older dated tools are more valuable especially those made before 1922. The main consideration is original packaging and condition. There should be no signs of corrosion and tools should function correctly.
As far as collectors are concerned, vintage Stanley tools should have no defects in the handle such as roughness, discoloration or evidence of excessive reconditioning.
