Winchester reloading tong tools

[wildcat]

Found at the estate we are helping is a box of 1874 type tong tools in different calibers. Questions are:--should they be cleaned and oiled and where should we look to ask a fair price? They have light rust.

There are also ancient bullet molds

my .02 NOPE--don't do nuthin!

I have seen great antiques with superb patinas "cleaned" and it has their value reduced to zero!

Leve 'em alone!

the century' finish is what's worth something!

I think you can still sell them on E-bay.
