Thread: Hand tool identification help needed

Hi Guys. This is my first post, but it will not be my last.

Anyway, I've inherited an old tool chest from my grandfather, after he passed away a few years ago. It was sitting in the garage of his beach house, but it was full of stuff. There are a lot of different kinds of hand saws, hammers, screw drivers, soldering irons, tap & die set, some hand planes, and some odds & ends. There is also a cigar box full of old blades of some sort or another, but I don't have any idea what they would be used for, or if they are part of another tool.

Would this be a good place for me to post pictures of the different tools for identification? I wouldn't get rid of anything, but I would like to know what I have, and what I could be using.

One of the cool things that I have is a old Stanley moulding plane, which I believe is the #45. It is complete in the original cardboard box, along with the wooden box containing all of the cutters. I have never used it, but I moved it from my damp garage (until I get a new roof sometime soon), and into the house where it will not have as much exposure to the salt air.
