I puchased a home from a retired logger and I was left with his collection of vintage tools. I live in Olympia WA, and I would like to find them a new home. These tools are very old and I would sure appreciate some help determining their value. Thanks

That is certainly a nice pair of "Magic Hooks". ffcool
Nice old leg vise as well.
Nice pair of log tongs, too!
Quite the assortment!
Everything from horse logging to what look like some more modern excavator teeth.
The 2 hooks in the first pic I think would be stuck into the ends of a log, and then lifted with a chain and cable to stack. The chain with the long loops next to it looks hand forged, the jack above it looks like a wagon jack or similar style railroad jack. The axes and 2 man saw are definitely collectibles, and that is one serious winch pulley in the 3rd pic. :thumbsup:
I'm not in the collecting phase anymore. I'm in the "do you like it, what will you give me for it?" phase. Cool to see the gathering,
We used to see lots of old farm sales with equivalent assortments in Northern Michigan farm and timber country
We don't have any restrictions on sales here any more other than try putting the list in the for sale section if you actively and actually decide to try and sell some stuff here. Shipping would suck anywhere.
