leatherlady13 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 I found some vintage tools at a sale, got them for great prices. All are marked CRAFTOOL CO. 7 of them have numbers only, 15 have letter prefixes, and then 4 swivel knives. What information can you all give about them, especially the knives. I have done some research and know a little bit about them and I'm hoping someone can give me more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinkerTailor Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Pictures would help. Also, what EXACTLY does the brand name say. "Craftool co usa" marked tools are from a different time period from plain "craftool co." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatherlady13 Report post Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Here is a picture of the swivel knives. The Craftool Co tools do not say USA on them. Just CRAFTOOL CO. and numbers with a letter prefix. I have 3 of those. The swivel knives have no markings on them. Biggest thing I'd like to know is value.

TinkerTailor Report post Posted October 18, 2015 Here is the breakdown for dating stamps, I don't know of any resources online for swivel knives, Perhaps one of the oldtimers on here can chime in on these. http://vintageleathertools.com/buyers-guide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craftool without letters $5 to $9 each (condition and what tool are important) Craftool with Letters $3 to $5 depending Note, prices can go down to $1 or less depending on what tool it is and where it falls in the Craftool saga.

Art Also, the price goes down on the hand filed/finished ones if the guy on the file was drunk.......I have a 548 basket stamp that is so crooked its not even funny.....As long as you don't turn it half way through the stamping, it makes a nice weave, Turn it 90 degrees and it totally changes the result..... I also got a free f119, i like it but the centerline veers off at the tip. I use the heel in some borders.

leatherlady13 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 The Craftool Co tools I have are B201, B197, and A103 1/2. All look to be a great condition and no defects. Any ideas of value? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
