Yes, that's right. Despite my age, I've unfortunately never been able to obtain the resources to buy a property (and I don't think I will be able to now or in the future). This house was bought, as I said, by my grandfather. Later, he bought the lot next door. Both lots have a standard size: 8...

Hello... Honestly, I'm amazed and grateful. I knew nothing about this, and now I understand much better the origin and how this hoe must have arrived in Argentina. In 1810 (I'm not going to talk about politics, just history), Argentina established what is known as the First National...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello... I hope someone can answer this little question I have. This is a hoe that I believe belonged to my grandfather Alcides (my father Jorge's father), who passed away before I was born, 54 years ago (that's my age, of course). There are several of his tools in my father's workshop. Not...

Without a doubt, I'm going to do that. What I initially thought was to try to reconstruct (if you can call it that) the "original" handle (well... what I assume was the "original" handle that left those marks), and for that, nothing better than finding a photo or drawing somewhere of a similar...

First of all, thank you very much for your reply. I finally managed to see all 4,084 search results on that website selling antique tools. There were 273 pages, with 15 results per page. Obviously, I didn't look at them one by one, but rather focused on the saw handles. I couldn't find any with...

Hello. Since I noticed this thread was active, I wanted to try and identify the brand of two tools I'm looking for, as I'm unable (at least for now) to determine if one of them has a brand and what the other brand is. One of these tools is a handsaw. As you can see in the photos, it's...

Ah... Gardel... I LOVE Gardel. Do you know what we call Gardel here in Argentina? El mudo... There's no English translation for that ironic and affectionate nickname. Strictly speaking, the nickname would be "The Deaf-Mute," as if he truly couldn't speak. Those were different times, and...

OK. I'm sorry... I didn't know. I apologize, of course. I didn't intend for it to be interpreted as spreading a political idea, although, of course, that's exactly what it was, inevitably. That said, it won't happen again. Thanks for letting me know. For now, although I assume your comment will...

WONDERFUL! I'm truly SO grateful that you shared that link with me. I had NO IDEA that so many catalogs existed, and all compiled into one list. THANKS again!

Hello, four.cycle. Thank you in advance for the welcome. I'll answer VERY briefly, because I'll leave a more elaborate and well-argued response for later. I've been politely informed that this isn't a forum for discussing politics, religion, abortion, or weapons. And that, in fact, it's not a...

Hello… Thank you so much for your response and your kindness. I really didn't know what those dates meant there. Thank you for the precise information. My father acquired this and other antique tools quite some time ago (many of them are woodworking tools) for very little money… As I've been...

Hello. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Hernán, and I'm 54 years old. I live in Argentina. Some time ago, I started cleaning and restoring my father's tools (he still lives with his wife, my 81-year-old mother; he's 92). For years, he worked with automatic wire-bending machines...
