Well-used tools

Years ago, we visited a small island museum that included tools going back to the earliest settlers. My father commented to the museum attendant that some of the tools looked nearly brand new, while others looked sort of like you'd expect a 300 year old hammer to look. He asked the attendant why they thought that was. "Someone took better care of their tools." Down Easteners aren't known much for small talk.

These are some of the tools I saw at the Schloss (castle) today. They had an exhibit of Apotheke (apothecary) history.
