That is an impressive collection you have! Do you find most of them locally in Israel, or have to buy on the internet?
Most of us have never been to Israel, so we don't know how many old tools are available.

 :)  Very nicely displayed.  You must be single.  According to my wife-tool displays are hard to dust-  glassware, knickknacks, and decorator items are not.  Most of my "displayed" tools are on any flat surface in my office or next to my tv chair.

most of them are from israel, tool collection has become popular in the last couple of years in here,
mostly by "older" guys that used to be carpenters, mechanics, metal workers etc...
so you can find some nice tools, but most of the really nice ones are from ebay and from my recent trip to new zealand.

and yes geneg, im single:)

There is so much to like in your display!  I was happy to see the WW I entrenching tool.  And all the leather workers hammers -- nice selection.  The second pair of shears are a pattern that appeals to me. 

And all so prettily displayed...

Impressive collection you have there.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

In your first photo, you have Opinel Knives. Made in France.
Back in the early 60's, I took this same knife off of the Viet Cong soldiers. Every one of them had this exact same knife.
I shipped out at least two 5 gallon bucket fulls of them.
I only kept one, and this is the one that personally went in me.
Sharp as hell, hate the rotating lock.
Thanks for the memories for this old man.
