This was posted on the galoots forum by Bill Taggart. Mid Atlantic members should consider it because it is quite a good tool show. I plan to dispose of some of my spare tools and books so please say hello. John
"Just wanted to drop a note to let y'all know that on January 2-3, 2010, the Richmond Antique Tool Society (RATS) will once again be participating in the big, annual antique tool show at The Showplace on Mechanicsville Turnpike in Mechanicsville, Virginia.
It's a big antique show (lots of furniture and other interest old "swag" to look at, but also there will be many old tool dealers there set up to sell, with thousands of interesting old tools to check out and haggle over.
Come on down, up or over - wherever you're coming from - and check it out. "
