General Auction Including Antiques, Collectables Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This collection consists of three vintage manual tools manufactured by Stanley. Included is a Stanley No. 803 hand drill, made in England, featuring a double-pinion mechanism with an orange-painted cast iron main gear. The gear bears raised STANLEY and ENGLAND lettering, while the steel crank arm is stamped No 803, MADE IN ENGLAND, and STANLEY. The tool is fitted with maroon-painted wooden handles and a black cast iron frame. The second item is a comparable Stanley hand drill with an orange-painted gear marked STANLEY and ENGLAND, paired with a black frame and dark brown wooden handles. The third item is a Stanley Yankee spiral ratchet screwdriver, model reference 3-68-135, featuring a steel shaft and a translucent amber-coloured plastic handle. This screwdriver remains in its original yellow and black branded card and plastic blister packaging.
Condition report:
The two hand drills show signs of moderate to heavy workshop use, including paint loss on the gears and frames, as well as surface oxidation on the steel components. The drill with dark wooden handles shows significant loss of finish to the top grip. The spiral screwdriver appears to be in unused condition; however, the original retail packaging is heavily worn with creases, staining, and age-related yellowing to the plastic.
