Antique tool

An antique tool is a special tool that's been around for a long, long time. It's like a toy that your grandparent or great-grandparent might have played with as a child. But unlike toys, antique tools were used to fix or make things, like furniture or buildings. Some antique tools might look different than the tools you see today, and they might have been made with different materials. People like to collect antique tools as a way to remember the past and the things people made with them. It's like having a piece of history to hold in your hand.
