The 45th Annual Tool Show and Auction is now set for March 15, 2025!
March 15, 2025
The 2025 Tool Show and Auction date has been announced for the weekend of March 14 and 15th 2025!
As always setup and early entry will be Friday, March 14th with the actual show and auction to commence Saturday, March 15th.
The 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. PATINA club members, vendors and general public attendees all bid on lots they desire.
Last year there were 37 vendors set up selling their wares, answering questions and helping to create a joyful event. There were many more vendors set up in the outside tailgating section as well.
This year, we will be holding the auction one hour earlier than previous years. We will start the auction activities at 1pm. As always at our PATINA tool shows and auctions, you do not need to be a club member to attend or bid on any auction items and their is never a buyers premium.
