Yep,
Recently on my day off i was clearing my late father-in-laws garage (he's been away for some years, but i've just been lazy). Amongst many handy and somewhat modern tools i found some vintage items worth saving and restoring. Here's some examples:
On the pics 1 and 2 there is a chisel and three traditional Finnish knives. The top knife comes from the Kauhava knife factory, and the one on the bottom is called Mora. They both have a very nasty reputation here from the times everyone still carried a knife. The one in the middle is Marttiini, somewhat more common.
On the bottom there is a 'piirrin' (marking gauge in English ?). Very handy, necessary and useful tool in woodworking.
There were also several chisels still very useable after cleaning, sharpening and making new handles. I have some appletree i've cut and sawed some years ago and let them dry. Should turn out fine.
All these old tools will get restored. Such tools once were very valuable, expensive and important items used by the men who knew how to use them. They will get the respected place and use they deserve in my garage.
Lastly there was an unnamed travel DE razor set. My mother-in-law remembered (?) that it was used by her father when he was at war. Two cans were empty but there must have been a soap and a brush inside. The razor is dirty but will clean easily. I do not know if the leather pouch can be saved, but at least it is worth trying.
