T Dixon & Sons Collector Picking Irons For Sale

Recommended Posts

We have here a set of pricking irons made by T. Dixon & Sons in England about a century ago. As you can see, these are very high quality tools made by master tool filers. Note that the cuts are fairly even unlike many of the other pricking irons you will see. Note also that the thickness of the irons at the pricking tips becomes smaller as the teeth per inch size increases. See the later photos for this comparison. The last photo shows the differance in tooth thickness between the #14 and the #8 sizes. This is the way that pricking irons are supposed to be...... unlike some of those made today which cut too large of slits for finer stitching.

As you can see, there has been some oxidation of the irons over the last century but the tools are every bit as usable as the day they came out of the maker's shop. These are tools that will increase in value in the years to come because not only are they "collector" items, but they are also the pinnacle of the art of filing.

I am open to "serious" offers for these. Keep in mind that I was not born last night, LOL

I have been informed that according to the rules here ........ I need to post an asking price.

So here we go..............for the set of all 7 tools.......... $800.00 plus postage.

Individual tool prices will be priced accordingly but they will be a bit higher depending on the tool. You can count on

the #13 and #14 being more expensive simply due to their rarity.
