Hello everyone,
My name is Mike Zaetta and I live in Arlington, VA. I collect and deal antique horse drawn carriages, wagons, buggies, sleighs, and all the accessories. I want to be crystal clear from the beginning and say that I am not a tool/wrench expert by any means. In fact, I am probably more of a tool/wrench novice.
You can see the type of carriages and appointments that I buy and sell on my website at
www.antiquecarriages.com I love the carriage/buggy wrenches as they are a nice compliment to the actual carriages. Some of the wrenches had the manufacturers names on them (example: Studebaker) and others did not. Some of the names that I am always looking for on ebay, and other places include Sheldon, Dalzell, Brewster, Healey, etc....
I like the fixed axle nut wrenches much more than the adjustable wrenches. At this point, I am passing on the very basic (in design and dollar value) buggy wrenches with a open end and 4 sided closed end.
I am also buying just about anything horse and carriage/wagon/buggy/stagecoach/sleigh items. Lamps, prints, books, just about anything you can think of.
I look forward to working with many members in the future, and I can be reached privately at mzaetta@yahoo.com.
Lastly, good news!! For all the talk that young people don't collect, I am only 40 and a young collector.
Mike Zaetta
