Chisel ID Help - sawnuts - 09-14-2017
I picked up this chisel recently. I just started cleaning it and All I can see is WARRANTED as the second line on the stamping. The "arrow" stamp pointing towards the wording may be owner applied.
I want to say this is a Witherby since they had that verbiage on the chisel. Is that handle a clue? Not sure about the small "o" stamp.
The handle has 3 leather washers.
Anyone have any clues?
Thanks
Mark

That mark does not resemble Witherby marks found here:

Well,
So far we have one nay and one yay. I may never know what this and I'm OK with that.
Thanks

The handle is a Witherby handle for sure; but handles migrate from chisel to chisel, so who knows. Those markings don't look like Witherby.

Greenlee, C.E. Jennings, and Swan all had handles that look very similar to yours. It may be possible to bring out the worn out portion of the marking using gun blueing compound. Sometimes, it'll provide some contrast to the portion that was stamped into the metal. It's a trick I've used to bring out faded portions of saw etchings as well. One thing for sure, is it's probably a good chisel, given Witherby, Greenlee, Jennings, and Swan all made very good chisels.

What kind of chisel is it?
A good one.
Sharpen it up and use it.

Thanks all,

I have a duplicate of this one. I can't keep em all......or could I.

Don't expect too much, pretty short for a sash mortise chisel.

I would have guessed Jennings.
