We at Mantiques believe in the 3 R's - Recycle, Repurpose and Restore. The tools and antiques that we acquire are part of our history. The tools I work on built this country and want to be restored and go back to work. Feedback from my customers tell me that they purchase most of them to use not display. Some items are just too far gone, broken or obsolete. These items can often be repurposed or incorporated into industrial art work. Scraps or otherwise useless items can be recycled and once again become useful.
