Stanley Sweetheart chisels
« on: August 20, 2018, 08:08:41 AM »
Recently I bought two Stanley Sweetheart chisels, made in U.S.A., in a charity shop.
Paid € 1.- and € 1.20.
I had never seen such beautiful chisels.

Regards
Henri

 Those look like Stanley Everlast chisels. I figure anything under $25 each is a bargain. congratulations on a good buy.

Those are Stanley chisels type 4 (http://www.oldtooluser.com/TypeStudy/everlasttypestudy.htm).
Indeed a bargain. Thanks for the congratulations.

The sizes are: width blade, length blade
                          1"                3"
                         1/8"              4"

Hello, Henri. The top one looks like a #50 Bevel Edge Butt Chisel, just a guess, judging by what is left for length. The bottom one looks like a #20 Bevel Edge Firmer Chisel. Again, just a guess from looking at the shape of the handle.Regards, Lou

Lou, think you are absolutely right, according to what I see here:

and
