I've been collecting for a number of years starting with a Stanley Four Square Junior Jack size and went from zero to 200+.  With a focus on early Stanley and L. Bailey planes, all makes of number1 and 2 size planes and anything that I find different, interesting or "tickles the collecting fancy".  Association with The Pacific Northwest Tool Collectors has provided a great deal of knowledge and access to friends and sellers who've greatly enhanced the collecting experience.  Needless to say, I'm always looking for that "special addition" to the collection so if you have something you are ready to part with and think might be of interest, please get in touch with me at tools@mknickel.com.
