Vintage Garden Tools To Sharpen and Sell

I collected some more vintage garden tools.

Corona Loppers, Vintage Swiss Pruner, Reliance Compton U Set Shears

Here is a picture of the latest three pieces that I picked up.

Vintage Forged Corona Loppers with Wood Handles

These Corona loppers are not exactly rare, but I am definitely attracted to the old, forged Coronas with the wooden handles. I cleaned and sharpened, oiled and adjusted them, and they are all ready for use!

Vintage Swiss Made Hand Pruners

The vintage hand pruners are marked 'Made in Switzerland.' I can't quite read the name cast into the metal. These pruners are very heavy, thick forged metal, with big, long brass springs to hold the pruners open. It appears that these guys are designed to stay open — I don't see any latch to keep them closed. These are in excellent shape, with just a small chip on the lower, anvil part of the pruner.

Reliance Compton U Set Shears

Here are the shears.

They are — as I remember, they are not in front of me — are made by Reliance of Newark, New Jersey. They are in good shape, just a small part of one point was missing. I cleaned most of the rust off, sharpened and cleaned them up. I may keep these to use in the office.

I also have a nice, very old grass clipper and another hand pruner which I did not take pictures of, so more to follow!
