I don't think so. Looks more like a (Hatchet).

A few yard sales yielded this lot for a total of $66. The log roller was $1!

That little red vise is cool, about what does it weight and what's the make ?

Btw that Peavy was only 1$ ? That's a great steel.

Looks like the hammer was never used

I don't know what I'd do with a lathe & plaster roofing-type hammer but that particular one sure is a prize. There's virtually no wear on the checkered face or the blade! And we all know the original owner for sure has been 'pushing up daisies' for quite some time.

Thank you for that Bob. Finest example I have ever seen.
I need to pay more attention. I have to wonder if the claim of a oval head is indeed new at that time? It's a evolution that survives in today's drywall hammers and little doubt for the same reasons.

You're finding such great pieces lately, Bob. You must have found a new honey hole.

 

[phantomknives]

It's nice to have another brace. My big worth got packed into a box somewhere.

Believe it or not it's about average for a brace. The Chuck doesn't like the large shank bits. It's not so easy to center the bit either

Got any more pictures?

Non-ratcheting with I'd guess a 6" sweep

I love those CT made tools!!

Non-ratcheting with I'd guess a 6" sweep

Not sure the age of yours but if it's a 6" it may be in or a predecessor to the #924 family.
Here is a page out of, what I believe to be the last of the Stanley SweetHeart stamp, 1935 catalog #34

That bottom un-clipped handle is just awesome, and I can't wait to see what special head you have to hang on it.
What is it about a 16" - 18" ?
