HI folks,
I just bought a double spokeshave (one part is flat, the other blade is concave).... it reads, "A.G. Bachelber (?)." Anyone have any info?
cheers,
bird.
Only one reference, A.G. BACHELDER , Lowell,MA, Cast Warranted
A.G.Bachelder of Lowell holds a 1853 patent for a countersink tho, so your spokeshave likely is rather old..
I can tell you it's not an uncommon pattern, if it's a metal-bodied shave. Lots of makers did this. I've owned one; awkward creature to use.
