  Update: We have sold approximately 75% of the tools in this box, but the box itself and some of them are still for sale!

  The cone shape is a reaming tool. The hatchet is a shingling hammer/hatchet. The tool box probably belonged to a ship wright. Those disks with the different size holes, are inserts for a router to follow templates.

  Several years ago, I found two large tool chests at a yard sale $500 bucks for both of them. One belonged to a pattern maker and the other belonged to a furniture maker/joiner. I've still got a lot of the tools, but my wife sold quite a few on eBay back then. Made over $2,000 bucks.

  I&apos;ll try to recap some of the tools in the video that you weren&apos;t sure of:<br>The pointed ended saw is a &quot;keyhole saw&quot;<br>The auger bit with the ruler on it is an adjustable auger bit. They were more of a novelty than a usable tool.<br>The last Stanley black plane looking item was actually a cap for a block plane. On its own its useless.<br>The bits are called auger bit<br>The first &quot;drill&quot; is called a brace<br>The small drill is an &quot;eggbeater drill&quot; <br>Some of the items you thought might be irons of some sort were a mix of irons and at least one depth stop for the Stanley 45<br>The planes, in order of length were block planes, Stanley or copy of a Stanley 4, 2 Stanley 5s, A Stanley style 6 and 7. <br>The axe/hatchet is used for shingles and shakes<br>The plyers you mention towards the end are actually blacksmithing tongs

  5s are the most common and affordable. &nbsp;The smaller, the more valuable. &nbsp;A #1 will bring $1500 and #2 about $8-900

  Bought a 45 planer and more &nbsp;today at a yard sale for 10 dollar&apos;s didn&apos;t even know it was in the box. Found your video while doing research on value. Awesome!

  You can get a complete Stanley #45 plane, complete for less than $300 bucks. It&apos;s definitely not a Miller&apos;s patent, which obviously goes for a lot more if everything is there.

  That a back saw for cutting miters , I think you well got your money worth , that was a roofing hatchet. Those big needles I believe are sail needles for reparing ship &nbsp;sails . The small planes are called block planes. And the &nbsp;drills are called braces and bits. Those are called ager bits &nbsp;Black smith tongs the long pliers. That adjustable bit is a hole bore.
