Hey all,
I've spent the last few days in a few cities in Belgium. I've found some very cool tools (Will post once I return to the states), but wanted to know if there was anything particularly unusual that people knew of that I should keep my eyes open for? You know, old Belgian (or just European) tools that you can't find in The States.

1930

Flat stamped steel wrenches with the number 1 on them :)
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

rusty

Belgian chocolate making tools, preferably with chocolate still attached -P
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

My senior year of high school, we had a Belgian exchange student. Frederique was her name.

Damn, she was hot. Find her and tell me what she looks like 22 years later....lol. She was real cool to hang out with, could drink beer with the best of us., but really preferred wine.

Wait, what, oh yeah, tool forum....sorry, slipped into some good HS memories there.

I bet you could find some nice woodworking/carving tools there.
