Howdy
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:40:35 AM »
Greetings, I just got started in the tool collecting world and have been googling like crazy. Found you off the Alloy Artifacts links page.

My interests at this point are JH Williams and other tools made in the Buffalo NY area.

I was born and raised in Buffalo and have a 1/2" socket set from JH Williams that was my father's, 34 years at Trico Products and passed in '86.

Nearly broke the tool and started looking into the company after that. Spent a bunch of Christmas money on ebay and my collection begins.

Welcome from Florida!!   I think you will find this a most helpful site.  I sure have.  When you get time you might want to post in the wanted section what you are looking for in the way of Williams tools, you never know what these guys have... me included.

Welcome from Wisconsin. This site thrives on photos. Let's see what you have got.  Williams, Crescent and Barcalo are all good stuff!
