I'm posting this as a community service and have no ongoing involvement. Scott Silva discovered us at Art in the Pearl and asked for some help. He brought his collection over after the show, and I helped him understand what he had and to categorize them. He and his family have a long history in Portland with estate sales, antiques, and art. The attached photos and following information should help you figure out whether there is something for you. As with buying any used tools I suggest you bring a magnifying glass and a piece of basswood for testing.
This information was provided by Scott.
