This is one of these oddball entries today (i.e., NOT cartoons or even cartoon-related). Allow me to indulge you with some photos of vintage tools. I like the look and shapes of these old tools. All of these are pictures from eBay, and none are actual tools that I own. I don't really want to own them. But I sure like their shapes and heft. Aren't they pretty?
I recognize, and in some instances have owned, some of these tools. Many are special tools made to service Model T and Model A Ford cars.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, Orang Basikal. Most of these tools are for those old Ford cars. My friend, the great New Yorker cartoonist George Booth used to own a Model A, and I bought a Model A book for his 93rd birthday. That's when I started getting ads for Model A and Model T stuff. To repeat myself: I don't know anything about these tools, but they are gorgeous to look at.
ReplyDeleteHmm. I should have written this at the top. Today's entry REALLY DOES have a cartoonist component! Ha ha.
