It’s a dull day but we’re brightening it up as a box of old brass full of weird and wonderful stuff has just arrived!

In 2009 Cockermouth was badly flooded. This was how the shop was left on 20th Nov 2009. 😬 We lost almost all our stock and is one of the reasons why we diversified to selling old tools.

This week we’ve been busy doing our yearly stocktake. Yes, we do count everything in the drawers and boxes and we smashed it by finishing it in two days!
