Misc Antique Edge Tool

12 Pc. Set of Buck Brothers Firmer Chisels    These chisels are as nice as can be.  They came out of the tool box I am offering separately elsewhere and appear to have never been used.  All have their original grind, and other than some ever so minor staining are in near mint condition.    The largest is a 2" and graduates down to 1/8"   Very Nice!   

Good+ ..... $SOLD!

 

12 Pc. Set of James Swan Firmer Chisels / Original Box    These chisels are nice.  The handles on some need to be fitted a little better, and some are obvious replacements, but the chisels I believe are original to the box and are a matched set.  Most have their original grind, and other than some ever so minor staining there are no problems with the steel.  .    The largest is a 2" and graduates down to 1/8"   Very Nice!            

  CYN-js-chis-2

Good+ ..... $575.00      SOLD!

 

James Swan  1 1/4" Corner Chisel  This corner chisel is larger than typically seen and in much nicer condition than most you find these days.  Clearly marked Swan with no rust pitting or other problems.  A great tool.      

Excellent+ ..... $125.00      SOLD!

6" Greenlee Slick  This extra wide slick has plenty of life left in it.  There is some pitting on the back side.   You do not see many slicks this wide.  The logo is stamped on the front side.    

Good - .........$SOLD!

11 Pc. Set of Witherby Firmer Chisels / Original Box    These chisels are nice.  The handles on some are replacements and some need to be fitted a little better.  Most of the chisels are original to the box and are a matched set and were bought from Iron Horse auctions back in the early 80's.  Most have their original grind, and other than some ever so minor staining there are no problems with the steel.     The largest is a 2" and graduates down to 1/4" with the 1 1/4" missing.  Note two of them are bevel edge and the rest are flat models.    Very Nice!

12 Buck Brothers Firmer Chisels    These chisels are an assemblage that was carefully done.  There is a mixture of socket and tang style.    Overall they are very nice and will make a great user set.   The largest is a 2" and graduates down to 1/4"   Very Nice!

3 1/2" D. R.  Barton Crank Necked Slick  This is a nice slick with the unusual crank neck feature.  When do you see them anymore or how many have you ever had a chance to buy.  This is the last one from this collection..   Good + .........$295.00    SOLD!

 

 

 

 

 

# 1 Buck 3" Slick   It has a few small spots of pitting, but nothing major or that will affect use. It is far nicer than most of the examples offered up on other sites or eBay.

# 11  Bloomer 2 1/2" Slick  This slick is earlier than most of the ones above.  It is laminated, and in super condition.  The collector was very proud of it and made up a special tag to identify it.  Very Nice!!   

CYN-SLK-BLOOMER

Good +  .........$195.00      SOLD!

 

 

 

 

 

# 12 Cleen Cut 3" Slick  This slick is very nice as well.  The previous owner made a very nice and tight fitting metal edge protector for it.   No rust, no pitting, and in great condition.  I am not sure if the name is associated with Keen Kutter and Simmons Hardware or not.

Stair Makers Handrail Shave  This piece is unmarked as to maker but it is very nicely done.  The body is cast brass and the cutters well made and sharp.  I assume it would be used for the final scraping of stair rail from the shape and form.    

Exc.   ..... $125.00     SOLD!

 

Unusual 3 Wing Adjustable Hollow Auger    Judging from the super condition of this strange looking device, I would assume that the prospective user knew he was in trouble as soon as he attempted to adjust it for the first time.  It is certainly not up to the design or quality standards of say a Wood's, Swan, or many others by  manufacturers from this time period.,  These weird designs, and the resulting rarity because of the short production periods are what makes collecting so interesting and  fun.  This example retains nearly all of its original paint and appears to be in perfect operating condition, but I bet this one is better suited for the display, as it just does not seem like a substantial enough design to put up with much use or put out a quality product!.       Excellent .....$85.00      SOLD! 

 

 2" Spoke Pointer   This 2" diameter pointer is a bit different from those normally seen in that the center chuck post is adjustable for height to control the depth.  The cutter is held with two screws and a special kind of washer to spread out he force and insure that it does not move or chatter in use.  I think it is made by Stearns.   It is nice!  Good+ ..... $35.00   SOLD 

 

Swan Folding Handle 8" Drawknife    There is some minor pitting and corrosion, but all in all a nice tool by a respected maker.  The blade back measures just under 1 1/2" so there is a lifetime of steel available.        

Good+ ....... $42.00      SOLD!                 

 

Gruber Goosewing Axe  I do not know all the fine points of determining the maker or location for these tools.  The center touchmark clearly says Gruber.  To the left looks like a sun face, and on the right is a anchor with a 4 at the top.  Below the name is a mushroom, and a ?  It was bought in CA over 30 years ago if that helps.     

Good+ ..... $225.00     SOLD!  

 

Primitive Axe  I do not know all the fine points of determining the maker or location for these early axes.  It is highly decorated for an Axe.   It was bought in CA over 30 years ago if that helps.   

   CYN-AA-7

Good+ ..... $295.00       SOLD!
