Candy stayed at home on a trip into town a few days ago. On my own, there was no need to ask for permission to stop at one of my favorite establishments to peruse old tools. Found this piece that told me to take it home, even though there are a few 3/4" chisels in my shop:
422003
Other than the generous length and stoutness of this chisel, what really caught my eye was the stamped label:
422004
The stamping on the back wasn't readable before cleaning it up:
422005
After a little cleaning and establishing a new 30º bevel it seems to do quite well:
422006
The lumber yard calls this Vertical Grain Fir as opposed to quarter sawn.
Other than the hoop at the top for use with a hammer this is a very nice chisel for $3.24 including tax.
