For Sale: 68 (approx 8kg!) of mixed files by Wiltshire Australia.
These came from my late Fathers tool box. His collection also incorporated tools that belonged to his Father and Father-in-law, so they could be anywhere from 20-70+ years old judging by the tools that were with them.
I am no tool expert by any means, but from what I have read on this and other forums, Wiltshire files have a reputation for good quality, and being Australian made, they are becoming quite sought after by collectors and tool users alike.
I won’t try and list every single file by size and type, but I will take a number of images and attach them here so you can see what is on offer.
The 68 in total made up as follows:
22 regular flat shape
10 half round
8 square
12 triangular
16 round
From what I can see this brand of files sells for $3.00-$5.00 each on eBay.
What I would like to see is the collection staying together and going to someone who will value them both as a piece of Australian tool history and as honest working tools.
There-for I am offering this bulk lot for sale here as my first avenue of sale, and if no one is interested, I will resort to good old eBay.
Asking $200.00 o.n.o. + postage*
(Pick up from Boondall QLD 4034 is fine too)
*From what I can see Australia Post would charge about $25.00 to deliver these by regular mail but I can confirm postage to your location if anyone is interested.
Thanks for looking, please PM me with any questions or offers.
