What's the oldest tool you've got in your shop?

I found this old pipe wrench and thought it needed to be preserved. It was well used and looks like it could've been made in the 40's or 50's.





I cleaned it up with a wire wheel preserving much of it's age old patina as possible and refinished the wooden handle grip. I think I'll hang it on the wall.

Not sure of the reason his post's went bye bye. Most forums won't let you edit your posts after a certain timeframe (much like here) so people can't get mad and delete good info. But here, someone else does it and that for some reason is ok. Editing and leaving a comment that the post was edited is one thing but deleting stuff and acting like it never happened is another.

I like old tools and have quite a large collection. It seems that these days any tool with made in USA stamped on it is worth collecting because you will never see that quality of a tool made again. I do have a few wood Stanley levels with 1862 patent dates so they might be some of my oldest although my blacksmiths post vice might be much older.
