From this young age he became at- tracted to tools, then he began his woodworking days as a little businessman where he made small items to sell to school friends. His career began as an apprentice joiner in 1941. Tools in the days during WW2 were almost unattainable but he was given some by some old carpenters and retired joiners he had worked with and so began his love of tool collecting. Noel was intrigued by the craftsmanship he saw in old tools and appreciated their quality. He used them in his trade and continued using them throughout his life. Collecting tools became a passion and his collection grew particularly after he joined the New Zealand Vintage Tool Club. It was then he began to source tools from all over the world. Noel and Maureen (his wife) have spent a great deal of time combing through Antique shops for different and specialised tools both here in NZ and overseas. This auction represents Noel’s life long interest in tools. Every item presented is in fine condition and has Noel’s eye for quality. Noel is now 84 years of age and he hopes the buyers of his tools get as much satis- faction from them as he has enjoyed over the years.
