This is a good general purpose saw set made by Morrill in New York. It is in excellent working order with no damage or wear.

This is a box scraper. It looks like a scorp but the blade's radius is way to flat to work into the tight curves of a chair seat. It's early and unmarked. The handles are in great shape but a bit loose. They are in no danger of coming off since the tangs are peened over. A nice vinttage box scraper, not a scorp. $24

This shave is 15in long with a 5in wide blade. It's in exceptional condition, ready to work. WoodJoy made some great tools for several years then pretty much disappeared.

This drawknife was made by John Conger Berry who worked at 33 Attorney St. in New York from 1843-54 according to the EAIA DAT. It has a partial mark but the last name and street address are clear in the stamp. It's 16in long overall with a 8in wide blade. The blade is still surprisingly sharp. It has scattered pitting on the back, but not too bad. It's still usable, and a great artifact of pre-Civil War American edge tool manufacturing. $45

This wrench has Frank Mossberg's Nov 10, 1900 and March 11, 1902 patent dates on it. The end of the handle is tapered and bent to function as a tire lever. It works perfectly and has little wear on the steel jaws. $20

This spiral push brace was made in Philadelphia and patented by A.H. Reid on Dec 12, 1882. It's an exceptional example in perfect condition, though it's missing its original screwdriver bit. It can easily use small gimlet and auger bits if you add a small dimple to the tang to engage the spring-loaded stud in the chuck. This is the much less common smaller version in exceptional condition. $22

This wrench was shown in the 1904 catalog "B". See photos. I do not see it listed in any other Millers Falls catalog I have access to.
