There aren't too many stores like this around, but I do recall one in Los Angeles that has a similarly large collection. I wish I could remember the name right now. Anyhow, these old tools are generally a great value and much higher quality than new tools made today. A little TLC will get many back to like-new running order - even if they never become collector showpieces, they can still be fantastic usable tools.
