This lot comprises a large collection of vintage hand tools and workshop equipment, organised within three containers.

The collection includes various metalworking tools such as multiple hacksaw frames, numerous loose rusted blades, a tube flaring tool, and an adjustable multi-aperture bicycle wrench. Woodworking tools are present, including several wood-handled chisels and files, two wooden hand-saw handles, and a wooden moulding plane body which lacks its iron. Additional industrial components include a large cast-iron gear, a heavy-duty ball bearing, a metal funnel, an electrical component box with wiring, and a cardboard box of assorted nails. The items are constructed from steel, cast iron, and wood.
