The little hand vice is stamped 1945 with the MOD arrow  (and the number 9/2961)

If that's not old enough for you the plane iron is stamped EP WARRENTED CAST IRON and 1915 or 1916 or maybe 1918  :think:    :o
Nearly as old as you Tony  :D

Is the other black handled item a chisel? Another nice hand vise!

Old 1/4 inch Stanley I think  :tu:
Yep another vice  :D
I don't think the bolt is original and someone has added a big nut as a spacer
