Very Nice Vintage 1/4" Stanley # 750 Style Chisel with Red Hickory HandleChisel Body is Marked:STANLEYMADE IN USAThis chisel is honed razor sharp to 8000 Grit and comes with an edge protector for safe shipping and handling. If you are not familiar with these type edges, simple handling can leave you with a deep cut. I carefully removed the old finish on the handle and matched the colors of the deep red hickory stain. Please see pictures.
Introduced in 1930, the 720 & 750 line of Hickory Leather Capped Handled Paring and Butt Chisels became famous among Woodworkers as a perfect blend of muscle and finesse. Unlike Metal Capped Tang Chisels that were made for heavy duty blows with metal hammers, the more delicate 750 required a wooden shop mallet. I can recall the scolding I got anytime I was tempted to use a hammer on a 720 or 750 during my formative years, "hammers are for driving nails, in the cabinet shop, mallets are for chisels." The USA Made Stanley 750 was discontinued in 1969 and was revived in 2010 and 2016 for a limited offering of British made chisels with Hornbeam handles.Please read the description and view pictures carefully.

What you get from me. I often purchase tools that come to me with undeclared flaws. I go through them and correct as many flaws as possible and sometimes use the tool for parts if it beyond refurbishing. Replacement parts are no longer made and sourcing them is difficult and expensive. Sometimes, I must purchase another tool just for a single part. I believe in transparency and tell you what I have done. I have decades of experience restoring antique tools.
