Hi All
hello evergreen I've always associated my style of chisel from around that period 1935- 50 ish but I don't know of any written evidence to say that true it would be nice to see something that could verify it , It's the quality of steel in them that i like and of course the carver handle i found the earlier chisels from the turn of the century it depends on who did the tempering if they would keep a sharp edge or not.
Hi Colin
you are indeed lucky man to have found them unused i usually turn up when they just been sold or a friend will tell me someone else has just acquired them , that my sort of luck , been looking nearly 18 months now just for these two , O well back to ebay tomorrow and the market places next Wednesday and Mondays you'll know where to find me.
I think that it was only Marples who made the round neck type with the carver handles as well , i sure someone will tell me if i'm wrong.
