PATINA Annual Tool Show and Auction
March 10-11, 2023 in Damascus, Maryland
PLEASE NOTE--You do NOT need to be a member of PATINA to bid on any auction item and there are NO buyers premiums!!!
With the ending of major tool events in Nashua and elsewhere, we believe we have the largest tool swap in the country! Attendees in our last tool show last October came from Maine, Wisconsin, Florida, Tennessee and in between!
The auction takes place on the same day as the dealer tool sale and starts at 2:00 pm. You are invited to consign tools or items such as books, catalogs or artwork that pertain to the subject of tools.

The 2023 Auction and Tool Sale will be held at the Damascus Maryland Volunteer Fire Association Activity Center at 10211 Lewis Drive, Damascus, Maryland, 20874.
Tables for indoor "dealers" are still available, so please contact Dave Murphy ASAP at murphydave1898@gmail.com.
Don't risk the cold or nasty weather! Come inside for a modest table fee!
Our Dealer Tool Sale and Auction will be held rain or shine, wind or snow and is open to the general public. It consists of tailgating (Friday and Saturday outside), a dealer tool sale (inside Hall) and a tool auction (Saturday inside Hall). The vendors/dealers for the tool show set up in the first two thirds of the building and the auction in the last 1/3. The lots are open for inspection all day. The lots usually feature antique tools, planes, chisels and the like but can also have user tools, antiques, collectables, signs and even some scientific-type pieces. Vendors and attendees (and PATINA club members) all bid on lots they desire.
Tailgating is free to the public attendees and dealers, although the club requests donations to help cover facility expense. $15 donations will be applied to 2023 membership for new members.
We have a nice variety of tools, including large machinist vises by Starrett and Parker, a stunning two-man Disston crosscut saw, long handled adzes, gigantic “ice machine” wrenches, hand saws, carving benches, Stanley plane No.’s 39, 48,49, ,289, etc., several Bedrock, Union, a collection of early Baltimore planes, translucent Arkansas stones, and mint wrench and socket sets by Snap-On, S-K, Craftsman, Husky, Armstrong, Proto. We also have even more consignments coming from out of the area that will be added to the auction Saturday morning before the doors open.
