Rose Antique Tools old tools and history
Posted by: | CommentsBeing a retro-Geek I am always in search of things that are or were cutting edge technology, meaning of course that digging through piles of rusty tools is heaven. Frequently I run across items that I know were hi-tech in their day, ie my 1895 draw knife with folding wooden handles. Even if I don’t know what the things are I frequently must have them, then when I find they have no retail value I change from being a dealer to being a collector (never a hoarder).
One of the sites that has helped greatly in identifying these finds is Rose Tools. She has excellent descriptions and photographs, you may register free without listing a credit card, and she has a link to educational information on antique tools. You may also be tempted by the enormous number of antique tools she has listed for sale. Try this site if you have any interest in tools, antiques, or visit estate and yard sales, you may be walking right past a gold mine in retro-Geek items.
From Rose Antique Tools old tools and history.
This site is dedicated to the memory of my sister Karen who always encouraged me to do the things that I really wanted no matter what others may think, and to a very special friend of mine John who loved antique tools very much. I miss them both dearly.
I would also like to say a very special thank you, to every man and woman in our military forces, who are risking their lives every day to keep us here at home safe and free.

We now have a new online store located at www.shop.roseantiquetools.net
From the About us page:
Welcome to Rose Tools, Inc. also known as Rose Antique Tools. My name is Donna Rose Allen owner and operator and everything in between.
I have been collecting tools for over forty years and it is definitely an addiction as you can see. My goal is to educate and keep the old tools alive. That is why we are a different kind of website which mixes the antique tools with the new tools. We are an authorized dealer for Dremel, Bosch, Rotozip, Skill and Flexcut tools. We have been selling tools online since 2001 and have shipped all over the world! We have even sold tools to Universal Studios for a movie that was released in 2007 called “Evan Almighty”. Operating hours to visit our shop are by appointment only. I take great pride in my company, my commitment to customer service and in the tools that I sell. Our online store is designed to provide you with a safe and secure environment to browse and shop our product catalog.

15086 Fielding Road,
Gravette, Arkansas 72736
