Spoke Shaves
and Misc. Edge Tools

Stanley .

Patented & Manufactured Spoke Shaves & Similar Tools by Tom Lamond  The most through and comprehensive book ever written, or ever to be published on the subject. Lots of info, and profusely illustrated, this book has it all. The author died and I see some sites trying to sell this book for over $300.

Fine  . . . . . $40.00      SOLD!!

Spoke Shaves & Similar Tools by Tom Lamond The definitive book on the subject of Spoke Shaves and related edge tools. Everything one would need, or want to know, and more on the subject. Tom was a researcher extraordinaire. Long out of print and he has passed.

Short side story. I still remember, and I am 70 now, and this was many, many, many years ago, showing him, and trying to sell him, a rare folding handle shave. For something like $100 or close to that. He passed. I sold it to Martin Donnelly an hour later for $150.00.

Later, I heard he sold it to Tom Lamond the next day for something like $500.00. That was 30 or 40 years ago.

Kind of similar to Martin today selling "Founders Grade Tools" for 5 to 10 times what anyone else can sell the same tool for. (WTF) And it just keeps happening. (UFB) Must be nice.

If you collect shaves, you need this book. If you are buying antique tools, check this and the other pages before heading back to eBay.

8 Hagen Patent Gun Stock Makers Tools / Broach   R. A. Hagen was granted a patent for his unusual cutting tool design in 1950. The patent # is 2534816 and it comes up easily with a Google search. Each of the 8 different sizes shown is marked with the name and patent number. They look to have never been used. In the patent he claims they are Gun Barrel Broaches or tools for fitting barrels to gunstocks. He notes that they could be used in other trades as well. Note the wheel design of the three on the left.
