12 Pc. Set of Buck Brothers Firmer Chisels12 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

Good + . . . . .  $495.00       SOLD



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!

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.

Good + . . . . .  $125.00       SOLD





6 inch Greenlee Slick6" 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 + . . . . .  $495.00       SOLD





Witherby Firmer Chisels11 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!

Good + . . . . .  $475.00       SOLD




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!

Good + . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD

Good . . . . .  $150.00       SOLD





Stearns Flex Bottom Spoke ShaveStearns Flex Bottom Spoke Shave  This is an unusual design for a spoke shave.  It has a flexible steel plate in the back.  It is a hard to find shave from the king of the shave makers Sterns.  They must have had 20-30 different forms shapes and sizes, and this is the most unusual.  

Good . . . . .  $145.00       SOLD




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




Carpenters slickBuck 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.

Good . . . . .  $175.00       SOLD

Good . . . . .  $125.00       SOLD



Carpenters slick3 5/8" L. I. & J. White Slick  This is a nice slick.

Good . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD




Carpenters slickL. I. J. & White 3"Slick  Another nice slick by one of the premier and most respected of makers from the past. It has a NOS handle in it.

Good . . . . .  $175.00       SOLD




Carpenters slick2" Buck Cast Steel Slick  This slick is a bit dirty, but nice.

Good . . . . .  $150.00       SOLD





Carpenters slick"Wetworks Standard" 3" Slick  This slick is very nice and carries a mark I have never seen before.  It looks to be a quality piece.

Good . . . . .  $150.00       SOLD




L. I. J. & White 2 1/2 Slick  This slick is by one of the most renowned makers of American edge tools.  Note the crisp clear stamp.  No rust no pitting, and in great condition.

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD



Greenlee 3" Slick  This slick is in nice condition.   The stamp is way up on the shank and is faint..  No rust, no pitting, and in great condition.

Good . . . . .  $150.00       SOLD




Carpenters slickBloomer 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!!

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD



Carpenters slickCleen 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.

Good . . . . .  $195.00       SOLD




Antique Handrail ShaveStair 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!




Windsor BeaderWindsor Beader  This version of the Windsor Beadier is the last model produced and harder to find than the models above.  The condition is superb.  Having never seen one in an original box, I do not know what to make of this one, but there is a halo of sorts on the top where a label might have once been.  There are 3 double ended cutters included.  The nickel on one side of the head is near mint, and shows some wear on the other.  The handles are minty nice.

Good . . . . .  $395.00       SOLD



Windsor Beader3 Windsor Beaders  These are later versions.  As can be seen they could be had w/ different cutters.  All are nice, and all are marked.   

Good . . . . .  $175.00 / Choice       ALL 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!.

Good . . . . .  $95.00       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 the 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 . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD



Wilkinson Folding Handle 8" DrawknifeWilkinson Folding Handle 8" Drawknife   The best know, and most popular drawknife known or made.  The blade back measures just under 1 1/2" so there is a lifetime of steel available.

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD




Gruber 
Goosewing AxeGruber 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





Goosewing AxePrimitive 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.

Good + . . . . .  $295.00       SOLD





Turpentine 
Axe Turpentine Axe  These unusual crescent shaped axes were designed to cut a slash into the bark of trees so they would ooze sap for the making of turpentine.  The stamp says it us US made.

Good + . . . . .  $175.00       SOLD
