My wife and I started Smockmill Antiques - (you may know of us as gardensmock) some years ago. This has been our business for 20 years or more (we don’t like to count the years now!!). We are showing a small selection of old garden tools and collectables in this picture that we've sold on gardensmock over the last few years. The biggest demand for us at the moment is for vintage gardening tools so that is where most of our efforts go. However, we have an interest in all types of bygones, old country tools, antiques, kitchenalia & collectables. (See our archived items)

  Knowledge of these old items & their restoration is quite extensive although we would by no means call ourselves experts.  Most of what we sell has been sympathetically restored so as to leave as much of the originality as possible. You will see that we have a section of old garden tools and collectables which we sell unrestored – this will allow you to tackle the job yourself  so saving on cost & allowing you the satisfaction of doing something constructive in your spare time.

See details of our vintage and Antique Tool Restoration Service.

We mainly sell vintage garden tools and bygones on e-Bay - listing roughly every 4 weeks depending on the restoration time of items. You will see we have a good following of collectors by our feedbacks. If you would like to find us there - please log into e-Bay and type in gardensmock which is our name on the site,or send us your email address and we will email a “flyer” every time we list.

You will see our items on the web site get rather depleated when we list on eBay as we transfer some of them to our listings - please keep checking our web site after eBay listing finish as we return items and add a few more new items we have restored. See my eBay listings

We hope you find something you like – maybe to start or add to a collection, or find a gift for a friend, or a vintage garden tool to use yourself.
We are selling old - antique tools and other items that have been professionally restored by skilled craftsmen (unless otherwise stated). We try to describe or show any faults or defects - however, these items are NOT NEW so there will be signs of age, wear and use.

Please email us if you can’t find what you are looking for – we may have it tucked away somewhere and would be pleased to send you a photo and details if we can.

Feel free to browse our site  –  any questions we would be pleased to answer just email us by clicking on our  "Contact Us" page link above.  It’s never any trouble for us to answer your queries or have a chat about something in your collection. We are always keen to buy items & will offer good prices.
