This site is intended to create a virtual catalogue of the most spectacular American patented tools.  Most of the tools shown here are in the collections of the world's leading tool museums and private collections. Some of the best tools may also be in YOUR collection, and I'd like to invite you to send me your tool information if you'd like one or more of your tools to be included on this site. Inclusion of your tool is strictly voluntary and it is up to you to photograph and describe your tool as you want it to appear. You may also decide whether or not to list your tool as being for sale. I receive no commission or other fee for this, but I do require that you grant me permission to continue to display your tool and it's description as I see fit for the duration of this web site so this site can serve as a historical reference to the world's greatest American tools.

How Can You Help?

• If you would like to submit your tool for inclusion on this site, visit my submission page to fill out the submission form and get more information.
• If you have additional historical information about a tool shown on this site, you can email me with your comments and I can add to the tool's description. Examples of this may be better type information, more detailed patent information, or more accurate construction or model information.

Thank you for contributing to this site and helping to establish the world's best repository of antique tool information!
