you got that right there will always be old tools, in fact the brand new tools ya bought just last week will become the old tools eventually, problem is these old tools are out lasting the people that had the knowledge to use them. Some old tools look like it would take forever to do a job with .....but some times it's because you don't know how to use them properly......
There a lot of tools we come across that you just don't have a clue on what they are or do unless you see them being worked with from the tradesman of their time.
I personally had a chance to work with some old timers the real old school guys that their conversations amongst themselves where damn near a different language... and could pump out some outstanding work......and to think you look at their little tool box and think what? you did that with just those tools.........lol
so if ya think the tools today are expensive, can you imagine what the cost would be if these tool companies could sell knowledge like these old school guy are taking with them when they pass away....

My father was a member of the hard hatters club, Dec 1963 a 6-1/2" 5/8" bolt fell from the 8th floor of a construction site and hit him right on the top of his head........broke his hard hat but saved his life......he got a plaque and a gold hard hat .........(<not actual size)

Yes that works also taking a damp cloth and ironing it will take out small dents as well....some times....
if you can remove or lighten the cup rings a light sanding with 000 steel wool and some OM Minwax oil-modified is best.....
-
thought I'd post a couple pics of some old tools I have hanging around the shop for many years....
the ol Stanley Yankee driver works like new no need for batteries...(runs on coffee)
and a soldering iron that can melt steel damn near.....

Because it is a larger than normal pedestal 10" and has the claw feet, I'm gonna build a poker table for it but with a black ash table top with 3" sides to go over top when not in use so it will look like a dining table and then a poker table when the top is off....
-
I'm always looking for something to refinish, refurbish, recycle.......so the other day a neighbor was going to take this to the dump because it was all scratched up and had some paint in places .....I say I could put that to good use....he say take it........
well after a couple hours of sanding and a few coats of polly you would think it was brand new......my neighbor comes by and says.....Damn.........lol
sorry forgot to take a before pic but I can tell you it didn't look like this.......
