This collection of vintage hand tools includes a variety of implements for woodworking and blade maintenance. Included is a Stanley Surform block plane featuring a dark brown metal body and a replaceable perforated steel cutting blade; the tool is embossed with the SURFORM and STANLEY maker's marks. The group also contains a tapered scythe or sharpening stone with a square profile and a green-painted turned wooden handle. Additionally, there are two screwdrivers with bulbous, pear-shaped turned wooden handles and metal ferrules; one handle has a natural dark finish, while the other is painted red. Both screwdrivers are equipped with steel shafts and slotted heads. Approximate measurements read from a visible tape measure (graduated in inches): Stanley Surform plane length: 13 cm Red-handled screwdriver length: 12.5 cm Scythe stone handle length: 10 cm. Condition: All items are in used vintage condition, consistent with age and workshop use. The metal components exhibit surface oxidation and pitting, particularly visible on the screwdriver shafts and the Surform blade. The wooden handles show wear to the finishes, with significant paint loss and chipping on the red screwdriver handle and the scythe stone handle. The sharpening stone shows smoothing and wear to the abrasive surfaces.
