Built to last, just like the hands that used them...
Visit Shop 57, where collectors of vintage carpenter tools and early American hardware will feel like they've struck gold. Shelf after shelf is loaded with restored wrenches, pliers, drawknives, hand drills, clamps, hammers, and hatchets, each one with the kind of patina that only comes from decades of real work. You'll find cast iron meat grinders and food mills with heavy crank handles, a bench-mounted vise, vintage pipe wrenches, and an assortment of woodworking tools including planes, spokeshaves, and chisels with original wooden handles. A can of 3-IN-ONE oil sitting among the tools feels perfectly at home.
The rustic theme extends well beyond the workbench. A handsome pair of wooden snowshoes with rawhide webbing hangs on the wall, while a green Coleman-style camp lantern, cast iron Dutch oven with lid, and a cast iron cornbread stick pan speak to camp cooking and outdoor life. A large glass carboy, stoneware crocks with wire bail handles, a Quick Aid brass soda-acid fire extinguisher, and a striking red-and-black painted industrial wheel all carry serious visual weight. A fringed table lamp, pewter commemorative plates, and a silverplate serving pieces fill a tall lighted curio cabinet, adding a more refined counterpoint.
Tucked in among the tools and rustic wares you'll also spot a "Baker Country Honey" stoneware jug, hand-crocheted baby sweaters in pink, blue, and white, a black satin evening clutch, a Seahawks fleece scarf, a needlepoint-topped Victorian parlor chair, crystal candlestick holders, and an antique hand-crank bench grinder topped with an iron spoke wheel. Shop 57 is the kind of place where you can pick up vintage carpenter tools like a hundred-year-old drawknife and a delicate crystal vase in the same visit. For more rustic Americana, check out Shop 31 or browse the eclectic finds at Shop 68.
